Please find my latest suggestion at http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debconf-data/dc7/press/debday-release.txt?op=file&rev=0&sc=0 I am quoting myself. I'd rather not since I'll be press contact, but I think it's good information to get the stuff about non-profit in. I'm asking if someone wants to adopt the quote. Or do you guys think it's shit and I should leave it out?

It is once per mac address, so if you have multiple wireless cards you need to login once for all of them.

Please be > honest. Resending, so it won't get lost: madduck: I think the press release is in wrong order; the most important part should be at the beginning... I don't think the tartans are that interesting ;) madduck: I would move the "DebianDay is ..." paragraph to second position, then the quotes, then the debconf stuff. madduck: And you might want to take a look at our usual "About foo" stuff at the end of our press releases; would be good if they could have "common design" so to speak. And please ping me, so it can be send to debian-news, too. Additionally: "Translated into 27 languages" sure about the number? I thought we had more?

[Debconf-team] Status (Monday)
Hi, Everything still seems to be going well in general, with no major problems. (Power and wireless are still good, which is all most people care about anyway) Otavio appears to have got his luggage in the end, since he was around Teviot in his normal wheelchair today. Here are some quick notes from the meeting today: Registration: Badge stuff should arrive on Tuesday morning. We can finish the dinner tickets today. We have O'Reilly books now, and hopefully the (empty) bags too. Registration-desk stuff now can be done through penta, rather than lots of bits of paper as earlier (thanks to Ganneff). Sledge will organise the registration desk, and get volunteers to man the slots. A (non-electronic?) notice board near the desk might be useful. Food: Kev definitely agreed to pay £4 for each token, so we should ignore that the staff have been noting down amounts greater than that. The catering manager is off ill, so he can't get in contact to sort it out properly, but he has the previous agreement in writing. Late-night venue. We need to get a cable to the ground floor room. We need to set up a connection to Teviot. We have several options on antennae for a wireless link: - Antennae from Mexico -- hard to arrange/expensive (including import tax etc.) - Kev has a quote of £150 a week to hire a point-to-point link. - Equipment from Greece? We would be lent it; Greece is within the EU, so there would be no import issues. We'll hear tomorrow if this is possible. - Could ask other DebConf attendees (especially those who haven't travelled yet). - Should get Kitty to check prices for buying appropriate hardware. A decision on the best option should be made in a meeting at 15 BST tomorrow. A sponsor had still been asking about extra ways to help in an obvious fashion. Could e.g. pay for the ceilidh band, but we already have that, so it doesn't add anything new. We will suggest hack snacks to them. We need rubbish bins in the hacklabs. Kev will talk to Teviot about that. Safir will collect info about practical issues in Budget Backpackers, e.g. laundry. Ana has raised some concerns about bed usage in the hostels (when people change over). Phil will speak to them about this. We're paying a fixed per-person charge per night (not dependent on changes) so it shouldn't be a problem. We still need to buy: - Masking tape (i.e. which doesn't leave marks on surfaces). - Power plug adaptors for wireless equipment. - UK phone SIM cards for organisers, so we can call them cheaply. We have 19 mirrors for video streaming so far, on 4 continents. The video team plan to be using 8 cameras in their setup across the rooms. -- Moray ___ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team

[Debconf-team] Accommodation data entry
I've (now hopefully) reconciled all the paper data for accommodation with the paper records from the front desk for arrival and payment. The only problems that I particularly noticed were: - Tim Retout is here and in NSH but I haven't found any record of him actually having paid. - Jeorg Kurlbaum and Charles Paul are listed as NSH but don't appear in penta. -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever." signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
