-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Dear team,
as you know two members of the DebConf committee (DCC) have stepped down [1,2] mid of September. Thank you again for your great contributions, jcc (highvoltage) and lucas! Both have confirmed they will continue to make their expertise available to the DebConf organization where we need them even after their term on the DCC. Thanks for that, too! Our DPL has asked the remaining members to nominate one or multiple new candidates to amend the DCC. Therefore we'd like to ask team members to nominate themselves or nominate others that you think would be willing and capable to help oversee the DebConf organization across the years. You can do so by dropping an email to debconf-commit...@debian.org . We will ask third party nominees for their willingness to serve on the DCC via private email before any public mention. Please kindly send your email by 3 Nov 2019 AoE. We are scheduled to evaluate DebConf21 bids from December 2019 and eventually decide on a winning bid around January / February 2020. Thus we aim to have the DCC amended in time for these discussions. The DCC has been delegated as per [3] if you want to review the tasks and responsibilities before (self-) nomination. Sam has also expressed his thoughts on what he'd like to see in (future) DCC members: * Skills in problem solving and de-escalating conflict are valuable. * Significant DebConf experience is a must. * Pragmatism is important: at the end of the day we do need to run a conference on a deadline. * Diversity is important. It helps us think of new things to try, helps various communities be heard, and helps us connect with local teams around the world. It also helps approach certain classes of conflict that can happen. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reply to this email, or send an email to debconf-commit...@debian.org for non-public inquiries.
