Re: [Debconf-team] DebConf discussion: Venue bid process
And now that I've reemerged from under my rock, I have one concern that I
would like to provide before any delegations are made to this:

When making the decision on names, I would advise strongly to delegate
people who show an open interest to DebConf ANYWHERE, and haven't
specifically singled out one country or another as somewhere they'll never
"allow" a DebConf to take place, or refusal to participate at a DebConf
based on where the DebConf was held. Since Debian is comprised of many
participants of many nationalities, it only makes the process that much more
transparent and supportive of all developers if the candidates are receptive
to bids that are put together, or they are considering putting together. If
anyone comes into the process with clear biases and refuses to look beyond
those biases for the rest of Debian, it's a detriment to DebConf as a whole.
Cheers,
Patty
