While thats all fine and stuff - the papers committee still doesn't see
a submitted event proposal from you. So right now we do have nothing we
could rate and vote on for acceptance. And while we might[1] do the
exception and take your keynote into the main track, there is no way we
can do that without having it submitted[2].
So, please visit
https://penta.debconf.org/penta/submission/dc8/event/new
and fill in the information you can provide right now, please.
Im sure you are able to come up with a few sentences of what you intent
to talk about in the abstract/description fields, as most (if not all)
of whats needed was already said here. Should be a 5 minutes task
actually.
When thats done I go and let the committee vote on it / discuss it.
But without anything I am not able to ask the committee to vote on
it. We would also be unable to schedule it...
[1] I can't speak for the whole committee until we could vote on it.
[2] Thats something that goes for everyone, no matter who, *except*
platinum sponsors.
