[Debconf-team] setup hours this Saturday?
I have in my calendar this Saturday the 24th as the DebCamp setup day. What are the hours for this? I can't seem to find them anywhere. .hc If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it.- Thomas Jefferson ___ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team

My thought was mainly to have them in a schedule somewhere. It didn't occur to me that penta wouldn't allow the same event to have multiple instances. I'll put in several training sessions to be scheduled during DebCamp. > if so, do we want to do that for other events as well? Probably not. > And does the video team need another instance of training on DebianDay too? Probably not. It was just an idea in case there weren't enough talks to fill in DebianDay, which doesn't seem to be an issue. > Sorry to have more questions than answers, Not at all, thanks for asking and I'm sorry for submitting a confusing event. :-/ -edrz ___ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team

Thursday now starts at 9:30 like all the other days, and the group photo is from 11:30 to 12:30 on Thursday, with nothing scheduled opposite it. i've marked it as being in Davis Auditorium just so that it shows up on the web-based schedule, but that doesn't mean that's where we'll take the photo.

I've not come up with anything good so far. -edrz ___ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team

I can't seem to find them anywhere. I don't think there should be a lot we'll need to do this Saturday, but I'll let people know what the plans are. In general, I think we should be able to do what we need to do Sunday morning. - Richard -- | Richard Darst - rkd@ - boltzmann: up 364 days, 15:56 |http://rkd.zgib.net - pgp 0xBD356740 | "Ye shall know the truth and -- the truth shall make you free" ___ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
Re: [Debconf-team] Penta
I got the following message about penta from a friend. Could someone with write access to the web site please look at fixing them?
