I have been organizing mini debconfs for many years from 2010 and it was
fun. I don't feel comfortable organizing any more with so much
restrictions. Since there are so many loyal debian supporters out there,
I'm sure they'll take things forward. Good luck.

As for this mini debconf, I suggest we change the name to FOSS Meet or
something generic so hardcore debian people won't feel we are diluting
their trademark.
