Nicolas, From my experience with DebConf5 and DebConf6, it's a bit hard to find anything concrete to do unless you happen to have regular contact with the active people. For me, getting involved in DebConf5 happened because I happened to be a board member of the local organisation (Linux-Aktivaattori) that represented DebConf5 legally and financially (apart from being interested myself). This meant that some decisions eventually ended up on my table, and I could involve myself in them or let someone else do it. During DebConf6, my involvement was confined more or less to the period of the actual conference. I was not a member of the local team (since I live eight timezones from Mexico) but since some people knew I had experience from the previous DebConf (as well as other experience) it was easy to agree on some tasks once I had arrived in Mexico. Based on both these conferences, my experience is that the conference coordinators are unfortunately also the people doing most of the work, so they have a very hard time delegating tasks. The best thing you can do is to follow the channels you listed above and try to spot a neglected task that you could handle. Do some research and come up with a simple plan on how you're going to do it, then communicate to others that you are going to do it. It's likely that nobody will respond with a "go ahead" message. In the best case, your work will be useful, and in the worst case, it will be just a waste of time. Cheers, -- Fabian Fagerholm <fabbe@paniq.net>
