[Debconf-discuss] DebConf13 community validation, meeting
debconf-team is having a meeting on IRC next Wednesday, 7 November,
18:00 UTC - #debconf-team [1]
The team is at a critical stage in planning and due to the high price of
the Swiss franc and the general expensiveness of Switzerland, the budget
is unlike anything seen before. Some people are optimistic about
sponsorship, but for others, this has been a major cause for concern.
There have been a number of discussions on the debconf-team list about
cutting food, cutting travel sponsorship, cutting the DebCamp, cutting
the free day, and potentially asking a larger portion of attendees to
pay the professional fee:

Yet at the end of the day, the local team wants to provide the DebConf
that you want. Is the discussion going in the right direction? Do the
numbers add up? Should the team start signing the contracts or should
the proposal go back to the drawing board? Which of the two proposed
venues (Interlaken or Vaumarcus) do you prefer?
Even if you don't normally participate in DebConf organisation, I would
encourage you to review the proposals and the possible venues and bring
any comments or concerns to debconf-team ( or discuss on #debconf-team )
