Re: Call for bids for DebConf24



I completely agree. It would be an exception to DC 24, and there is no reason to have an extra workload. Leave a few days in advance only for those who will assist in the infrastructure (video-team, FD).

Hi,

Probably this isn't a popular opinion, but If you're thinking to host DebConf24, I suggest you don't organize 2 weeks of event (DebCamp + DebConf).

Considering the shorter time, If I was you, I wouldn't organize DebCamp.
DebCamp is nice, it's great to have people earlier, but it's too much work before the main event.

In 2019 we had 2 weeks, and because most of attendees arrived during DebCamp, we had to deal with accomodation, food and venue for these 2 weeks. When DebConf itself started, I was exhausted and I felt I couldn't join the main part of the event.

My sugesstion is: open the accomodation on Saturday, start the schedule on Sunday, and finish it on next Saturday. And use the Sunday for people leave the city, for tourism, or organize just a special lunch (we organized a barbecue in Curitiba).

Organize 2 weeks of event with venue, accomodation and food isn't good for your mental health :-)

Ps. If video team needs arrive earlier to set up everything, it's ok, open a exception for them, and just for them.

Best regards,


Cheers
