Ok, great job! So, right now we have 106 pages. I suppose we will be printing this in half-letter format, just as last year, right? About the seven missing papers, how many have you contacted the authors for? How many does your crystal ball say we will be missing in the end? Having most other papers in the 5-10 page range (although some are certainly shorter), we look at least at 150 printed pages. About the BoF sessions, do you think on just printing the list of names and authors, or the abstract for each of them? We have 22 proposals, and the abstracts average 815 bytes each - Maybe setting two or three per page would be right? This makes it 157 or 161 pages. I don't have my DC5 proceedings here, how long was it? I have the impression it was half the size at most, am I _so_ far off? I would like to add a "credits" section, not too long (2-3 pages), detailing the work that goes into a DebConf, maybe even briefly explaining what Debconf wants to be and how it is made - The proceedings are important material to show to prospective sponsors and to friends who want to know what you did while you were away :) > Most important thing I need to know: Deadline!

We should have this information by tomorrow. About the artwork: As last year, I think it would be the same as what we print on the shirts. Which will be ready for the next Monday meeting.
