Not hard to do.

I bet. Come up with a list, someone.

The same as we already had in the past, where the Debian status defines
what choices you have in the Category.
Its a brain twisting, headache producing way of setting it up, but it
works. (Basically, the database side is interesting)

Re: [Debconf-team] Registration plan / pentabarf changes

Hi,

Regarding hotels/food/accommodation: it looks ok, meaning it can be
done that way on our (local team) side.
Still i would like to take some time (a couple of days) to check this
(meaning i want to know in detail how are we going to do this!).

This was not the plan EVER! I don't want anyone think that this is how
we are planing to handle things at all!

This was and still is the plan, and this is how things are going to be done!

I know you are just giving your input here, and we appreciate it  a LOT!
But i to would like to make your and everyone else's worries easier by
repeating that this is not the way we are doing things :)

[Debconf-team] Fwd: licensing question for Eben's Debconf video

2011-03-11 Thread Gabriella Coleman
Hello,

Who is the best person to answer this question?

Thanks!
Biella

 Original Message 
Subject: licensing question for Eben's Debconf video
Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2011 17:01:51 -0500
From: Ian Sullivan 
To: Gabriella Coleman 

Hi Biella,

How are you doing?

I've got a (hopefully) simple questions related to the video of Eben's
DebConf speech. My apologies if you are the wrong person to ask about
this, I'm not sure whether it is a policy question.

We're trying to get all of Eben's FreedomBox-related speeches online in
a central place and that would be much simplified if we could have a
copy of Eben's DebConf video under CC-BY-SA rather than the BSD-like
license from the archive site
(http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/LICENSE). As the
speaker, is Eben able to request that license for his talk? If so I'd
just need an email from the relevant giving Eben or SFLC permission to
use the video under the new license since I already have a copy of the
video.

Thanks!

Best,

Ian
