Right, we should really get this going. And by "this" I mean
"everything we are not yet doing" ;-)

Ok, I'll work a bit on it today. I would still prefer somebody else to
give a proper polish to it afterwards (i.e. Native Englishness and such)

For DebConf11 we were (from debconf-data/reports/dc11/credits.tex):
Talk selection team:
Micah Anderson, Luciano Bello, Blars Blarson, Biella Coleman, Jörg
Jaspert, Daniel Kahn Gillmor, Andreas Tille, Gunnar Wolf
Talk scheduling team:
Tássia Camões, Daniel Kahn Gillmor, Gunnar Wolf, Velimir Iveljić (DebianDay)
And for DebConf12 (corresponding file):
Talks selection:
Gunnar Wolf, Daniel Kahn Gillmor, Joerg Jaspert, Blars Blarson,
Andreas Tille, Luciano Bello, Micah Anderson, Tássia Camões,
Giacomo Catenazzi
DebianDay Talks selection:
Aura Lila Gutierrez Tejada, Leandro Gómez, Norman García
Talks scheduling:
Gunnar Wolf, Tássia Camões, Giacomo Catenazzi
So, I'd suggest , as we have done on other teams, to invite people
that were on the team in the past to repeat. FWIW, I intend to
repeat.

I'll go look at Giacomo's draft right away. But I'm not (yet) sending
it. And, of course, it should IMO absolutely not be sent before the
registration is open, as people will be scratching their heads as to
how to submit a talk (but also, it should be sent right next to it).
