What is not helpful is your attempting to draw the bid team into a protracted argument about aspects of national immigration policy over which we have no control. The facts are known, and the information is included by reference in the Portland bid because *it has not changed* since DC10 in New York. It's up to the DebConf committee to decide if they think the immigration regime tips the balance in favor of a DebConf elsewhere; and if they have questions about the facts of the immigration policy we are happy to answer them, but I'm not going to invest my time turning the bid page into an apology for that immigration policy just because you think it might give comfort to some hypothetical people who are unable to attend a DebConf in the US. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
