Plan around activities in case typhoon happens
Hello team, I contacted Dan Jacobson, from Taiwan, sent me this useful information below. == 8< = OK. I tried to post this to debconf-t...@lists.debconf.org : Debconf18 will be held at the height of typhoon season in typhoon alley: Taiwan. Therefore, Be sure all indoor events can still be held according to schedule even if a national holiday is declared and all building staff are sent home, etc. Check with the facilities on what contingency plans and legal ramifications etc. Do it now and not only if a typhoon is declared. Be sure all outdoor events have a backup plan B to become an alternative indoor event. And/or one indoor event day X that can be swapped with outdoor event day Y (separated by several days), just in case. == 8< =

Yeah, that is great, I never understood the contrary, but I understood we are paying down 10% now, as soon as of today, and with that payment it'd be nice to have some paper signed, since we did not have anything ready I urged to prepare some draft for you to use.

Inside the boxes there are conference T-shirts and some conference coffee and tea leftovers. If you can send it that would be great and we should be fine to cover the costs involved if needed. I am unsure what the prices are but as an estimation it could be around 1500 NTD. The missing box for switzerland had over 30 T-shirts sponsor asked for as well as some bags/coffee/tea, etc... in case it appears at some point. Best regards

I concur with Andreas. I understand local teams placed a bid and I thank them that they are willing to organize the conference, pandemia is delaying and piling up the conferences... ... and this could be a cause of stress on the conference organizers. However, I think DebConf has lost the point a long time ago. I believe DebConf should be the venue to discuss Debian project matters and enable teams and developers with plans, roadmaps, help to coordinate the project, etc. After all this is the Debian developers conference. The real question should not be, where is DebConf going to be in year XY, but where are we able to gather Debian developers and team members to push forward the distribution and prepare for next releases. On the other hand, if the mission of the conference is promoting Debian around the globe, with carbon emissions, pandemia, etc. we should also consider a more fragmented conference, localized in different areas/continents. Maybe it would make sense to run all those piled up DebConfs the same year? (Maybe this is tad late now, after the announcement) Disclaimer - These are no strong opinions, just some food for thought.
