Joerg Jaspert <joerg@debconf.org> > Note to all others here: Please do not feed the troll and answer him. I > answer this mail purely to have the correct thing on the list, [...] 07:57 <Ganneff> Dinosaur: either you get that to mail or to /dev/null. but no longer here, you got enough answers here, we used enough patience with you. this channel is not for random-ranting like you do, this is for actually doing work. dont go and try the same with every orga person here. It's a bit off to tell someone to email the list and then abuse them for doing so. Thank you for still answering, though. The start of http://kosh.ganneff.de/krooger_debconf.txt looks like Ganneff started escalating it by calling Dinosaur silly and refusing to answer the question. Six of one... > Note: if you actually thought about your questions before you posted them > you possibly would be able to answer them yourself. [...] I agree that some of those answers should be obvious, but I've not checked whether all the data is published and you didn't cite anything. Not that I care much about this one. > > First: Is Debconf an official Debian project? > > No. It is the Debian Conference. It is for/around/with Debian, but its > not a Debian (sub)project. Its run by some DDs and *lots of* non-DDs, > some of them not even package maintainers. However, it has financial assistance, with support of the DPL, from debian donations held by SPI IIRC. (Info not verified as it's not on www.spi-inc.org yet AFAICT) That might be the source of Ted Walther's confusion. If anyone wishes to see more about that relationship, read the SPI March minutes/logs once available on http://www.spi-inc.org/secretary/ or the spi-announce mailing list. cc Ted Walther - not sure if subscribed to debconf-team Hope that helps, -- MJR/slef Laux nur mia opinio: vidu http://people.debian.org/~mjr/ Bv sekvu http://www.uk.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct
