While this workshop might be very useful for the businesses you are targeting, it is not a part of DebConf: it has not been organised by us, and the fact that it is charging a fee might be misinterpreted, because DebConf is open to everybody and fees are only voluntary. I'd add that it might be even be dangerous for our sponsors to think that it is part of DebConf, as they are giving us the money that allows us to offer a week-long conference for free. I already feel pretty disappointed that this is happening in such proximity to DebConf (and specially DebCamp), and therefore being implicitly associated with the conference. We can't stop you from doing it, but DebConf has nothing to do with it, nor wants to. So, please, don't put any reference to it in the DebConf website or any other DebConf materials. This is not a chairs opinion, but a personal one. -- Martín Ferrari (Tincho) _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
