I wonder if we could get some kind of statement from Columbia University
in New York regarding the value they felt they got from hosting
DebConf10?
I believe the people at Columbia were very happy with DebConf as a
group, and I think we might be able to get a positive statement from
Daisy Nguyen or Eben Moglen about the benefits to the university - and
not just about how impressed they were with the behaviour of the group
as a whole, as seen in the attached e-mail.
Cheers,
Andrew.

She was unbelievable impressed with our group overall, and had so much fun. She said that never before had she seen such a clean group. We made less mess than their faculty do at their events. Never before had she seen so many cheeses from around the world, and such a well organized party. She was impressed with how we left things better than we found it, for example, fixing up all the chairs in Davis auditorium. Never before had she seen a group so religiously obey "no food" rules - not even faculty conferences! Had she known how great we'd be, we would have had no problem using the courtyard for catering or a c&w party, in addition to the CS Conference room. She's offered to sponsor any meetings or workshops we may want in the future. This is all thanks to _your_ great behavior. - Richard --=20 | Richard Darst - rkd@ - boltzmann: up 384 days, 11:57 | http://rkd.zgib.net - pgp 0xBD356740 | "Ye shall know the truth and -- the truth shall make you free" _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
