Re: [Debconf-team] Registration/CFP text + deadlines (please review)
Well the confusion may be avoided by not talking about closing
deadlines of something that still *hasn't* even been opened. Please
understand our confusion as eagerness of waiting to finally see
registrations being open.
Regarding closing both things together, I agree on that as it's way
easier to remember.
Now let me try quoting myself right this time

Way too early. Registrations are still not open and closing them 24
from now ... too close. May 15th is somewhat ok if you ask me. Does
anyone know the (at least approximate one) average of the days DebConf
registrations remain open for?
