The idea came up after someone approached us about a joined
conference with OpenBSD, which has money problems and would
perhaps get better deals when joining with a bigger group like
Debian.
Just out of curiosity: What are the effects (or "synergies" (c:)
that you hope for?

so you already thought about the cost issues involved in more

process of evaluating venues and costs and it would rock if you
could help us along there.

yes, it is certainly a data point. Thank you very much.
To debconf-team:
What other projects could we team up with if we decided to do
a joint efford?
