In Debian, there is never any general agreement about using Debian money..:-) OK, dunk tank, I remember (I was in favor of it, at that time). I think that the participation to OPW is way less controversial than Dunc Tank, still....and the amount of spent money is perfectly in the field of responsibilities I think we delegate to the DPL when electing him|her. (yes, I know that the Constitution does not set limits to the amount of money the DPL can take responsibility for....but I don't doubt that past and present DPLs would know when they need to get a very wide agreement....and when they don't necessarily do) Trying to bring consensus for anything is one of the traps we're often falling into. What would you think will happen if a thread is started in -project about our participation to OPW and spending $5000 in it? Frankly, I'm 200% in favor of participating and I even considered proposing myself as coordinator.....until Monica did (and I think she's a way better possible coordinator than this old bubulle chap who's doing too many things in Debian already).
