(The bursary stuff in this thread has mostly been sorted out and our budget situation has improved since what I'm responding to was written, so maybe this is no longer an issue.)

If so, I want to hear them so we can deal with them. At various points in our preparations for DC10 I've detected hints from some team members at different times that the needs of producing the video coverage are perceived as an undue burden. If I've just imagined this, then just ignore this mail. If on the other hand there really are concerns that haven't been addressed, that means I haven't done a good enough job of explaining things and communicating to everyone. It's also likely that I've not thought of some things. Perhaps the suggestion above to cut feeds means there is some fiscal cost to running them I haven't realized. I've personally been trying hard to avoid having DebConf pay for very much of anything for DC10 video coverage. The only gear I'm afraid we might have to buy or rent is lighting for the Interschool Lab. If it is a major concern, we'll just have less than well lit video from that room. So far money has only been spent on shipping stuff from various places we've had it stored and from various people who are going to donate stuff for us to use. All of the gear we've arranged to use so far is either already owned by us or being loaned to us by team members. -edrz _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
