Hi Norman, You can have people from Debian as speakers, where appropriate, without having Debian Day as part of DebConf. Having speakers from Debian is fine, and covering their accommodation etc. for the night before/after Debian Day within the conference budget is also fine - it's expected to be associated with the conference as a whole, just that it's neither DebCamp nor DebConf. The general reason behind it *not* being part of DebConf is that the talks are usually supposed to be targetted at the interested public, rather than at DebConf attendees. I think it's good to identify this as one of the three parts of a Debian Conference: DebCamp - for people with specific work plans, no or few talks. Debian Day - for the general public who are interested in what Debian is and high-level information about it. An "outreach" exercise. DebConf - for people with a technical interest in Debian. A steady stream of technical talks, as well as a strong focus on technical planning for the future and collaborating on improving Debian. Quite different audiences and models of participation. This separation is important: we don't *want* DebConf attendees to think that "Debian Day" is intended for their consumption.
