Folks, we are not trying to steal DC14 thunder or distract anyone from doing the work, but we do have a contract to sign and we'd really rather not do that before synchronising with the whole team. The contract with the youth hostel is in German for obvious reasons so if you need help interpreting it, please speak up. We acknowledge that we will not be able to agree 100% on every last detail, or be able to explain all quirks, but that shouldn't be necessary. First of all, we've already discussed the most important aspects around Easter and the contract looks Really Good™, and second we're in the comfortable position of being able to back out without any penalties until April 2015. However, if we want to negotiate additional terms we would be in a much better situation if we do this before we ink the deal. We've been keeping notes on the wiki¹ and we invite you to have a look and help us spot any remaining issues. ¹) https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf15/Germany/HD_contract Also, there are news regarding our non-profit status, as well as our tax strategy and the way we plan to handle payments. We invite all interested parties to join us for a Q&A session on the #debconf-team/irc.debian.org IRC channel on 7 July 2014 at 21:00 CEST (12:00 PDT, 19:00 UTC). It would be nice if you sent in your questions beforehand so that we can structure the meeting a bit better — and keep it short. Please send them to debconf15-team@lists.debian.org. There will be time for open discussion towards the end of the meeting, regardless. If you have any questions, before or after, you can always find us in #debconf15-germany on irc.debian.org.
