Even if this is true, you should still come to the conference and participate in that BOF as best you can, since it'd be a useful viewpoint, regardless of what happens with your presentation. I welcome your outsider viewpoint and hope it can provide useful tips to Debian and Ubuntu regarding collaboration, but will agree that Lucas has a point in that the primary impetus for that collaboration has to come from people who are themselves directly involved with those two projects. Put another way, collaboration can take advice from outside, but needs to be driven from the inside. As Lucas said, you are of course welcome to get involved more deeply with either project, but come attend and participate in the BOF and informal conversations if you have something useful to say, regardless of your status with the projects or the resolution of your presentation. (I am involved with the conference organization team, but not with the part of it that makes decisions regarding acceptance of talks for either DebianDay or the main conference, so I had nothing to do with that decision.) - Jimmy Kaplowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
