I got an acceptance for my SPI talk and heard nothing back about the CDD talk. I asked twice for an update and heard nothing concrete (i.e, yes or no). I'm assuming that since the schedule is released and CDD's are not on it, the answer is no. You will notice however, that the last day of the conference is called Debian-NP day and we have most of the day. It's got the slots of a talk so there won't be conflicts but it's going to be a little more informal. As part of Debian-NP day, I've planned the following BOF/talk to replace the CDD talk: 1. INTRO TO CUSTOM DEBIAN DISTRIBUTIONS Formerly lumped in with other "subprojects," Custom Debian Distributions have in the last year chosen a new name and developed quickly both technically and socially. Led in part by the example of Skolelinux (now Debian-Edu), CDDs are working on creating a common infrastructure for package selection and are developing policy and methods for allowing custom configuration of packages *fully* within the Debian system. This BOF is for anyone working on Custom Debian Distributions, interested in doing so -- as a developer or just someone who wants to use a customized version of Debian -- or just interested in the concept! Participants will discuss the technologies, status, and future of custom package selection and custom package configuration within Debian. Feedback about this text from this list is welcome. As soon as we get some consensus about the rest of the BOFs from the Debian-NP day organizers (and the Debian-NP and Debconf4 lists), we'll put these on the Debconf Schedule in place of the rather nondescript "Debian-NP Day" item.
