Hi, this is a draft of a post which should end up on times.debian.net and elsewhere. Please give feedback, as I'm much too tired to think and write clearly... The links to the wiki pages will need to be fixed as the new wiki.debconf.org replaces wiki.debian.org... regards, Holger Hi, future DebConfs should be even better prepared than they are now, thats why we (debconf-team) decided to plan DebConfs for two years in advance from now. And to achieve this, we need to plan once for one and a half years in advance (this means deciding around new year 2007 about DebConf8), so that at DebConf7 in Edinburgh, we can decide about DebConf9 - and thus, two years in advance :-) So at the last debconf-team meeting we came up with the following timeline: Submissions until December 31st 2006 Clarification-Phase: until January 31st 2007 Decission: February, the 8th 2007 This means: until December 31st we want to see submissions from the cities. You need to create http://wiki.debian.org/DebConf8/YourCity and answer the questions from http://wiki.debian.org/DebConfLocationCheckList and http://wiki.debian.org/DebConfPriorityList there (in your page). Until January the 31st 2007 we will ask you for details and further information, which you should answer on your wiki-page. Then, on February the 8th, we will have team-meeting on IRC to make the decission according to the criteria we used for the Debconf7-decission. (###cant find the wiki page atm :(###) Right now, http://wiki.debian.org/DebConf8 already has some proposals, but nothing specific. So please go on and create http://wiki.debian.org/DebConf8/YourCityOrCountry. See you at a DebConf near your $home! :-) regards, Holger P.S.: And off course, you can also start planning for DebConf9 now ;-)
