I'm the one who proposed the DebConf budget approval process in the first place. I've been criticized for that idea but helt to it, because I think it's the right thing™ to do. This year might be the first time we manage to implement it in full, with the needed timing [1]. If you think I now want to walk away from that decision, you're far off. But at the same time, if you expect me to answer "no" to a budget proposal because, say, I don't *like* a DebConf location and I think a different one would be better, you're far off too. I'd say "yes" if and only if we can afford it and if I think the odds are good that those money will benefit Debian. Nothing more, nothing less. Cheers. [1] "might", because I haven't seen a budget submitted to me, yet; and I *am* worried by people expectations that I'll be available 24/7 to timely answer such a query -- Stefano Zacchiroli . . . . . . . zack@upsilon.cc . . . . o . . . o . o Maître de conférences . . . . . http://upsilon.cc/zack . . . o . . . o o Debian Project Leader . . . . . . @zack on identi.ca . . o o o . . . o . « the first rule of tautology club is the first rule of tautology club »
