Re: [Debconf-team] Extending registration period
Hi,
I don't see any problems in moving the date like Adnan said.
We have the means, and there's no extra work needed to be done. Why
would it be a bad idea?
We can be more rigorous, as Adnan said, when deciding on who gets
sponsored and who doesn't in order not to have too many
"non-Debian-contributors".
And could we decide on this ASAP, so it doesn't "float in the air" anymore?
