Hi all, After much work and deliberations, we are finally able to announce the leads and shadows for three of the new teams. We regret the delay in publishing this list, as well as the fact that it is not yet complete. We had difficulties finalising the two remaining teams: facilities and infrastructure, and decided to postpone them instead of delaying more the other teams. See below for how to help us finish these. Without further ado, the list of leads and shadows for the new teams: Content team Lead: Ana Guerrero López Shadow: René Mayorga Participant assistance team Lead: Nattie Mayer-Hutchings Shadow: Giacomo Catenazzi General coordination team Lead: Margarita Manterola Shadow: Gunnar Wolf We want to thank you all for accepting this big commitment and believing on this reorganisation! --------------------------------------------------------------- On the remaining teams: We are seriously understaffed for the facilities team, and need more input to elect a lead. Please, if you have not sent feedback about this team, please do so ASAP, more input for leads (and more volunteers!) will help us finalise it! This is obviously a team that will have a big composition of locals, and is critical for the success of DebConf. Many people wonder why is it necessary at all. We believe that integrating all members of the organisation -including the yearly rotation of locals- is very important, and that keeping the institutional memory alive for on-the-ground tasks is very important; and this team would help achieve these goals. For the infrastructure team, we have a good number of volunteers (thanks!), but we have not yet arrived at electing the lead and shadow. Again, you can help us by giving more input. This team also might raise many questions, as we are all used to a big and strong video team, which was separate from the traditional sysadmin, website and networking tasks. We joined them together for many reasons, including helping the video team reconstruct, with a stronger collaboration with the rest of the infrastructure; and a more resilient setup by sharing responsibilities among many people instead of having one- or two-person teams. We will publish the results for these teams as soon as we can. Tincho, on behalf of the chairs. -- Martín Ferrari (Tincho)
