Just before FOSDEM I got a call from Mr. Pianaro (`Le Camp` director, Bcc:ed) who wanted to know the status of our bid, for the very simple reason that he is now taking reservations and other companies are interested as well. Please remember that `Le Camp` is managed by a YMCA foundation and thus it has to cover as much as possible the maintenance expenses. We the Swiss team were well aware of the decision schedule and we always reported mid-February as the more reasonable date for the decision to Mr. Pianaro, so I found his call completely fair. I am sorry for not having informed both the DebConf and Swiss teams before, but RL and FOSDEM took more time than planned during the last days (and I am not yet back to Geneva where I will have another conference in the next days [1], FWIW also presenting our bid [2]).

If this means having it on weekends, then let us do that. > Speaking for myself: I'm flexible about dates/times, but I would > suggest holding the meeting at least 6 days after the approaching > DebConf12 global team meeting. Which, according to [3], means not before February 15th. [3] <http://lists.debconf.org/lurker/message/20120205.165020.dd120cbf.en.html> Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
