Re: [Debconf-team] [Coordination] Timeline changes proposal for DC16
Hi all
I'm supposed to be on holiday and offline, but I've started having
dreams about this thread, so...
I've adapted the thread onto our Timeline [1], and copied relevant
bits below. I resisted the temptation to put this onto the wider
timeline [2] as well, so we can test it first. Comments welcome, but
this can only be finalised after DC16 team discussion and some
registration system considerations (Next IRC meeting is on 9
September, but these dates are going to be a bit of a moving target).
Overall, I am very happy with where the conversation is at.
