I don't care much what happends to the equipment after DebConf; if the
sponsor want it back, fine; if they would leave it there, it's fine too.
As long as that doesn't hurt DebConf.

[Debconf-team] Visiting Hokkaido, Japan; needing official-looking planning/recording document.

2006-07-03 Thread Junichi Uekawa
Hi,

In two week's time, I'll be visiting Hokkaido, Japan, and I'll be
meeting with munincipal government officials.  They will require some
official-looking description of past Debconf and future plans.
Do you guys have something which might help me?

I might need to hack something up.


What I have in mind is some description of what Debian is
(contributions to open-source, World-wide coverage, presence, Linux
industry as a whole, blah-blah-blah), what Debconf is meant to achieve
and has achieved in the past (structure of the meeting, the number of
people attending, expected sponsorship, international legal backing
(SPI?)).

junichi

i would recommend the debconf5-final report, which describes the
event pretty well.

there are also some texts on the debconf website and this list
which describe the goals pretty well. 

I usually give this rundown of debians imporance etc orally... i
never wrote something down. you can find something similar to
that in the sponsorship mail that i usually send to sponsors in
svn. but it is much shorter then what you seem to need.

[Debconf-team] redundancy in bosnian team lead?

2006-07-03 Thread Andreas Schuldei
Hi Safir!

in edinburgh we asked who would be capable of taking over the
local lead in case moray ran off with his CD collection [1].

Moray pointed out neil and kevin as possible capable and
motivated replacements (perhaps more? i only wrote down
these at that point).

Who in Sarajevo could take over? (or better yet, would work as
your equal from day one?)

/andreas

[1] just to name a desasterous personal fate that not includes
being run over by a bus...

[Debconf-team] alternative ways of funding debconf

2006-07-03 Thread Andreas Schuldei
Hi!

we have now looked at the possible/likely venues of debconf7. I
expect reports to surface soon on this mailinglist.

it turns out that only one of the options would not require us to
come up with an alternative way of funding debconf (one of the
ones in sarajevo, which involves the arabic culture center).

So we need to rething if we are willing to run debconf
differently. AJ suggested that in his earlier mail, but i am a
bit reluctant.

if we limit local sponsorship to e.g. 200 people to keep costs
under control we would in effect ask the remaining people to
carry costs of 7*19+250 = 383€ (or for debcamp and travel from
abroad at a more expensive venue 7*37+700 = 959€) themselfs.

i would expect more rumors of us paying our friends to come, more
infighting and envy and demands for silly regulations like "only
DDs!", "only people who fixed N bugs!" or "only people who
finished the new debconf attendee process!" and more public
control. I think at least at that point i would not enjoy running
the event any more.

what do you think? do you have ideas or suggestions on how to
slice the cake? should we try to slice it at all?

IMHO one way to prioritise the sponsorship might use the colaboration
of DD or not DD for Debian itself. That mean how much he/she
colaborate with the project and how active he/she is. That might be
very helpful.

I guess that should work, since I need to work on translating that
text I don't think I will be able to translate if it's too chunky.

I'm not Andreas (stockholm) but perhaps it could help you.

http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debconf6-data/sponsors/sponsor_request_en.txt?op=file&rev=0&sc=0


At the same repository you may find other documents that
could be useful. The DC4 Final Report also has a good overview
about DebConf that could help you. :-)
