Note that the BSP's travel and accommodation might be eligible for sponsoring (see wiki page), contrary to FOSDEM attendance, as far as I know. (AGM participation is probably in a gray area, and I'd err on the side of assuming it's not eligible). > Regardless of the Swiss law and the constitution, it is also important > that debian.ch is now a Debian trust organization. I'll note out of completeness that debian.ch has always been a /de facto/ TO: accepting donations for the Debian project, reimbursing sprint participations as well as organizing a DebConf have all been made without that status. > To maintain the highest level of confidence in this system it is > probably important to have strong attendance by local DDs at any > formal meeting such as the AGM so if enough people say they can come > then maybe it can be formally announced as the AGM date, before the > notice deadline and if not it can just be a BSP. I've put some thoughts to it, and I now tend to agree: iff the planned attendance to the debian.ch AGM is too low (saturday end-of-day, 31 January), we should be finding another time-space. Decoupling the AGM from the BSP doesn't endanger much the BSP IMHO (and I'll be going anyway :-) ). What do others think? Cheers, OdyX
