Although the communication around this was not ideal, I do think this
should totally take place, within the DebConf space, as well as
publicised through the usual DebConf channels (website, etc).
I see multiple arguments that argue in favour:
* Martin and Michael are amongst those _making_ the DebConf happen: I
feel it is strictly better to encourage them to run this under the
DebConf umbrella, than to have them organize something else, elsewhere,
elsewhen.
* The logistics _are_ in place, and this event will cover its own costs
(probably even make a benefit).
* This is a good opportunity to bring more people to Deb{Conf,Camp,ian},
also probably from /unusual/ domains. I don't see how this could end up
wrongly.
The only minor thing is that I would allow regular Deb{Conf,Camp}
attendees to attend it for no additional cost.
Cheers, OdyX
