I think this is mostly a missunderstanding. By "main contact point" Luca didn't mean that the organization of the Debian presence at any event should be by private mail to [email protected]. As far as I understood it he rather meant that anyone organizing a Debian presence at any event should inform [email protected] about this to make sure the event is added to the relevant pages on www.debian.org and to coordinate thing like merchandise and other stuff that needs to move from one event to the next. The events teams purpose in my opinion is not to organize the local presence at an event but to coordinate between the different ppl organizing booths at events and conferences. For this to actually happen they need to be informed about events and that's easier if you contact them on their mail alias so that they don't have to monitor all the debian-events-* lists (some of them even in languages they don't speak). Does this address yours and Axels and Bernds concerns? Luca please correct me if your view on this is different. Gaudenz -- Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again.
