Hi,
I'll not get involved with most of the substance of this discussion since I
trust you all to do something reasonable and I need to mostly refocus my
energies toward other DebConf and non-DebConf matters. A couple of minor
responses:

participation from other people.

I've helped organized a bunch of conferences and selection processes
and one thing that is clear is that the process never is anywhere
close to where you'd like to be, largely because you are basically
learning how to do it while you are doing it. So you only really know
how to do it once

Hey folks--
as previous mails from micah and pablo pointed out, we are having our
talks team "final cut" meeting today (wednesday, 2nd June) at 7pm NYC

The only advantage I see for myself is the same as for any talk I
would wish to attend if it does not conflict with any other talk I
would also wish to attend.
