Sadly, I wasn't in the meeting to discuss this. I don't understand
what's about this keynote-frenzy. It's just to make a point to MarkS?
That seems silly to me, specially when I have already stated many
times that we (the papers committee) accepted MarkS talk but as a
*regular talk*.
Also, how's that this 3 additional keynotes were approved without even
a keynote proposal? I'm sure as hell that the papers committee would
have voted positively on talks from this great guys, having been given
the chance to read a proposal, but this is overriding us completely.
No proposal, no discussion, just giving out the more prominent slots
in a way (from what I read in the logs) completely arbitrary.
Personally, I've spent MANY hours reading proposals, trying to vote as
evenly as possible, and I know that the rest of the committee has
worked as hard. Now I feel that I wasted many precious hours.
And finally, excuse me, but why mail Marga instead of committee@debconf.org?
