The earliest possible timeline in view of current constraints: 2007/6 Join Debconf as support team 2007/12 Propose Japan as Debconf Candidate 2009/6 Hold Debconf in Japan. regards, junichi -- [EMAIL PROTECTED],netfort.gr.jp} Debian Project -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Bits from the DPL: Looking forward
Of course, even while that's being organised, people are getting serious about where DebConf will be held in 2008 [17]. AIUI, the theory is that DebConf will change continents each year, and there's been interest shown from Japan [18], Argentina and Venezuela [19], as well a thoughts about holding the 2009 DebConf in Canada [20] or Thailand [21]. [18] http://wiki.debian.org/DebConf/Japan It might be a bit hard to read since it's really written in Japanese only at the moment, but due to delay in selecting suitable venue for Debconf, our current timeline is: 2007 join as support team to Debconf 2008 propose Japan as Debconf candidate 2009 hold Debconf in Japan. We're currently lacking some manpower, really. regards, junichi -- [EMAIL PROTECTED],netfort.gr.jp} Debian Project -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
