We would very very much like to avoid! We decided in the April meeting the dates (and you were present): <http://meetbot.debian.net/__debconf-team/2012/debconf-__team.2012-04-25-18.03.html <http://meetbot.debian.net/debconf-team/2012/debconf-team.2012-04-25-18.03.html>> Part of the local team were not present on that meeting, specially those of us dealing with Debian Day, and that's where the whole confusion about dates started. Debian Day was not doable on Sunday due to some restrictions from the venue (closed to public, only Debian people has access), so we settled on Saturday 7th. for Debian Day and Sunday 8th. for DebConf day 1.
Debian Day date is independent to DebConf dates. And being in consecutive dates is not a requirement. IIRC in Argentina Debian Day was in a different city and few days after DebConf. Possibly such different assumption started the confusion.
People discuss about decisions and usually not about assumptions, so the conflict passed unnoticed until now.
This was a decision made after the meeting in consensus with global and is, after all, what we initially had agreed on. Please see my reply to Moray here: http://lists.debconf.org/lurker/message/20120413.031431.f8f1a0e5.en.html
I read: """ Sunday, 8 July Debconf arrival day and DebConf begins DebConf participants are encouraged to arrive this day. """Additionally many flights land at evening, so we cannot have a full day of talk Sunday, and I recommend not to have the welcome talk on Sunday.
