In the term sheet I was more careful, claiming that they will offer something in terms of fullscale cancellation, so we should not jump to conclusions. In the e-mail, I wrote that nothing of that sort is known to me, and since their normal terms & conditions allow for free-of-any-charge cancellations 8 weeks ahead of time, I figure that if we forgo exclusivity 4 months before the conference (meaning we fall back to normal treatment like everyone else), we can also just cancel, should we really need to. However, this is all really hypothetical, and I suppose we don't have to investigate this further. I am sure that the contract itself is going to try to make this very clear, so we have to wait for the draft. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@debconf.org> : :' : DebConf orga team `. `'` `- DebConf14: Portland, OR, USA: http://debconf14.debconf.org DebConf15: Heidelberg, Germany
