And there is a subtle but very important ideological factor here: do we want DebConf to have paid workshops every year, like in many commercial conferences? Should we expect that dc16 or dc17 will have a line up of VIPs that attract paying attendees, and a few days of workshops for professional attendees only? These are not rhetorical questions, it is the kind of questions that we need to ask ourselves honestly and decide which kind of conference do we want. Tincho. PS: having [email protected] as the contact email for this does not enforce the idea that the workshop is independent of the conference. -- Martín Ferrari (Tincho) _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
