Football and tennis are two different sports. Debian and e.g. Python are two different FOSS projects. Yes, you can play tennis on a football field without caring about that, or as you can hack on Python on a Debian system not caring about that. >> For a conference (with main track being about Debian but) about FOSS >> more generally and involving an entrance fee, I find it misleading to >> label it as a MiniDebconf. >> >> Please use the term MiniDebconf only for Debian part of the >> conference, and only if that part of the conference do not require >> entrance fee. > > If you can point me to an official policy of debian about the content > of a mini debconf, I would accept it. I am unaware of an official policy for the use of the term "MiniDebconf" - and apologize if I gave the impression that such exist or that I speak in an official role on behalf of Debian as organisation. As I believe I have stated several times in the past on this list, I merely offer suggestions here. > In debian, people who are doing the work gets to decide what > suggestions to take or not, as long as it is within the limits set by > the whole project like the social contract, constitution or specific > policies. ...and makes sense. Do silly things and others will ask you to please not do so - whether or not it is written in Policy. > I disagree with your point and I will support changing the name only > if people who are helping organize the event agrees to your suggestion > or we are violating any policies set by the project. Don't do it because I say so - obviously only do what you feel is right. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
