I have no issues with your wishlist, but I doubt that is really going to happen as we don't have any volunteers to do what you propose. With the kind of responses I get, I am feeling more like not talking about debian at all. But since I don't accept any of your authority and I consider I'm part of debian, I will talk about debian. If this is how we are going to promote debian - by banning anything other than debian, then good luck to you all. But I don't agree to such a strategy and I don't accept anyone's authority. These kind of responses totally pisses me off. You are free to sue us, the organizers, for using debian name. You can also contact debconf administrators if you feel we are misusing debconf server space. You can also tell Lucas not to sponsor Jaldhar's travel because there is going to be Free Software talks other than debian. You can also suggest to expel me from debian for spreading Free Software in the name of debian. As for using mini debconf name, there is no official policy on what should be the content of the mini debconf. When debian project comes with a clear policy, we'll respect that. Also I will seriously consider not using the debian name from next conference onwards. As for having an event to talk only about debian, I would be happy to see the people who concerned about diluting the scope to take efforts to organize such an event. > 2. Please finalize letters for Jaldhar Vyas. It is important. Hope Harish or Aishwarya can give an update on it. > 3. Less mails, more work.

Having you drop out would mean even less talk about debian. Using authority and blackmail is not going to work. Those who feel strongly about only debian content should make an effort to get that done, rather than putting a gun on the people who are taking an effort to take debian to even more people.
