How can we agree about something involving another person?

Well, if it helps in any way, here the mail I send a couple of days ago on request of h01ger to Mark: ======================= From: Alexander Reichle-Schmehl <[email protected]> Subject: Your talk and upcoming DebianDay and DebConf? To: Mark Shuttleworth <[email protected]>, [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2011 11:11:32 +0200 Dear Mark, as you might know I'm in Debian's publicity team and am working on an announcement for the upcoming DebianDay. However, there seems to be some ambiguity, whether you'll be available for a talk for the DebianDay or not. I've been told that there was some miscommunication or misunderstandings, and as the DebConf Orga Team (which I left five years ago due to time constraints should you wonder) is currently quite busy preparing the actual conference, they asked me to clarify and "mediate" so to speak. I've also been told, that you seem to think you would not be welcome at the DebConf. So let me assure you, that this is far from true! We would really like to see you attending, giving your talks and participating! The talk selection committee also told me, that a talk from you in the main conference would be most welcome, even if all deadlines have been passed already. Just say when you'll be available, and what topic you'd like to talk about, and I'll make sure that we reserve the slot for you. If there's anything else the DebConf Team or I personally can do, to show you that you are welcome, just say it, and I'll do my very best. I hope that you can manage to attend and I hear a positve answer from you soon. Yours sincerely, Alexander, aka Tolimar ======================= Best regards, Alexander _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
