Yeah, we can set on the dates mentioned above. I forwarded also the
discussion to the attendee's mailing list [1] to have a wider range of
opinions more than 1 week ago.
So far, nobody has raised any reason against having Debconf the last
week of July, and we only have good points:
- no overlap with other conferences (desktop submit, chaos c. camp)
- no overlap with ramadan (possible logistic problems)
- last year's conference was in August, so it is good to have it in July
for people who can not take holidays easily in August.
- better for students from some countries in the southern hemisphery who
have their winter holidays usually in the end of July.
