Hi Richard,
I do not believe the year was a stalemate. Things were done quite
differently than last year, and next year they will be done
differently, because the teams have very different compositions and
personalities. Many of us also have DebConf as a very recurring and
important part of our participation in the project - and we have
talked it over repeatedly.
We *have* had DebConf governance sessions in the past. They have been
half-successful... But half-failure. They tend to draw too many
uninvolved people, and to leave out many fundamental people (for very
understandable reasons).
