All I know is that in the legal system I know best, contracts do mean something, and that being "trustworthy" is about keeping the contracts you sign, not about later giving some flexibility to change/remove contract terms, if that was not originally specified in the contract. That affects both what I would expect from Le Camp as a trustworthy organisation: that they will keep firmly to the things they agree to do in the contract, and what I would expect from the Debian side as a trustworthy organisation: that we will keep firmly to the things we agree to do in the contract. >From my viewpoint, if we sign the contract but plan to change points later (in a way that is not mentioned as a possibility in the contract), we are not being a trustworthy organisation. -- Moray _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
