The truly local people represent a good mix of Debian experience and
local conference organization experience:
- Bernelle Verster (extensive experience organizing conferences in Cape
Town (TEDx), partner is DM so she's a lot more familiar with Debian
culture than it might appear at first glance)
- Graham Inggs (DM, on IT staff at first choice facility)
- Jonathan Carter (Debian package maintainer)
- Nigel Kukard (DM)
- Raoul Snyman (DM)
- Neil Muller (Debian package maintainer)
- Simon Cross (organized PyConZA in Cape Town)
- Adrianna Pińska (part of Cape Town LUG organizing committee)
- Marc Welz
- Jan Groenewald
Remote:
- Stefano Rivera (DD)
- Allison Randal (DM)
- Nattie Mayer-Hutchings (NM process)
- Martin Krafft (DD)
- Hannes von Haugwitz (DD)

Everyone listed above has been involved in the bid in one way or
another. The most active drivers are Bernelle, Graham, Jonathan,
Stefano, and Allison.
Bernelle, I have to say, has been an absolute rock star through the
whole process. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see her come in as a
non-uploading DD in a couple of years, like Nattie and Patty Langasek
before her. So, don't forget how many people have become key community
members in Debian by organizing a DebConf, even if they weren't
well-known before. :)
