I think that means we failed to communicate (well enough) that sponsoring 
DebConf, the conf, _means_ sponsoring Debian, the distribution.

Arno, maybe you can show your boss the (pretty short and pretty pretty pretty) 
article Stefano wrote about this in the DebConf11 final report, right the 
first one here:

http://media.debconf.org/dc11/report/DebConf11_FinalReport.pdf

But I've learned that we need to communicate this a whole lot better. Ideas 
how?


cheers,
