Debian is doing that this time as well. It's called a "sprint", and the call for registration for DC14 included explicit pointers to information on how to do one. If someone can't be bothered to apply for a sprint, or can't actually make a case that the work they're doing in some way benefits from working collaboratively with other DDs in person (which was what people were *supposed* to do for DebCamp, several years ago, before the DebConf team decided they weren't any good at making the "work plan" rule stick and stopped enforcing it), then yes, they're not being accountable to the project for their time spent at DebCamp, and we're not being accountable to our sponsors for the spending of their donations by letting them come. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
