I agree it is right, but I would just add a note saying that it might
not be interesting for the public at large, as the focus of the
conference is not as much (although it always includes it somehow)
about how to use exciting new technologies in Debian, but about how to
make Debian better. People should check the list of talks for the day
before going IMO.
I don't know how to word this — But if we tell to anybody then can
come, and they make a trip, just to find over-specific talks, they
will be quite disappointed. And we don't want to disappoint people!
