Can you please clarify the 'Further details' option on the 'Speaker registration' page? I can't parse the text there, so I can't really proceed, because I don't know to what I will be agreeing or disagreeing to by doing so. It currently says: > Do you allow using your talk as disclaimer Sounds like a question, but appears to be meant as heading. I certainly don't think my talk will be suitable to be used as disclaimer for anything. > Choosing yes in this field means that your talk will can be used by GNOME > Foundation and etc. I think I can guess what this is supposed to mean, but not only is this ungrammatical, but I think it is far too unspecific: - It is not entirely clear what 'my talk' is here. Does it mean audio or video recordings of the actual presentation? Slides or scripts I may have? Content and ideas? All of them? - I have no idea what "and etc." is meant to cover. So who I would allow to use my talk? - I doesn't say how the talk would be used by those people or organizations. Do I give a 'for all uses, no restrictions or rules' license to "my talk"? As an employed developer, I don't think I can agree to a 'disclaimer' I don't understand nor give away *all* rights to whatever 'my talk' encompasses to unspecified recipients. Thus without more detail I think I am forced to choose 'no'. But neither does the page explain what legitimate and desirable uses I deny by this choice. > Payments will be handled by PayPal this year as well.

However colleagues report that this option doesn't work for them. (I didn't get that far, due to the issue above). - Jörg -- Joerg Barfurth Phone: +49 40 23646662 Software Engineer mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Desktop Technology Thin Client Software http://www.sun.com/software/sunray/ Sun Microsystems GmbH http://www.sun.com/software/javadesktopsystem/ Sitz der Gesellschaft: Sun Microsystems GmbH, Sonnenallee 1, D-85551 Kirchheim-Heimstetten Amtsgericht Muenchen: HRB 161028 Geschaeftsfuehrer: Thomas Schroeder, Wolfgang Engels, Dr. Roland Boemer Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrates: Martin Haering _______________________________________________ guadec-list mailing list guadec-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/guadec-list
