short: I need help with packaging. not for dc14 which should give you an
idea of how comfortable I am with how dc14 things are going.
Others share your thoughts too, so I am addressing the group, not you
personally.

We don't need 100 reasons, one would be enough.

She was a theater producer, the show you see there was her last script. It
was a good show. RIP Dyanne.
On the opposite there were some good reasons to deliver the equipments
earlier:
* Some people planned to arrive ahead to setup, test and adjust
the setup.
please please please work on software. See other dc-v posts for
suggestions. Later today I'll collect them into a wiki page.
Maybe track down what CCC did for Erou PyCon, I hear they had some troubles
due to the poor state of the various video processing projects.
(gst-switch is the one I care most about.)
If you must work on hardware, i am sure the networking team has an endless
supply of tasks. I can't imagine them saying we are done, there is nothing
more we can do.
* There is zero margins in your setup plan, shit happens ! Not just
delivery, Not just harware, Not just software, not just network...
anything, not to mention the Bus Factor (1 = You)
Not true. We don't need 2 hours lunches, we can be in the rooms till 10p..
etc.
Really we don't have to start on Friday at all, so thats and extra 24
hours.
The proposed schedule is very relaxed.
* By not delivering the hardware before, you decided yourself to use
your software setup, your configuration. but no documentations.
Not true.
You seems to take little care of what existed before you decided to
takeover DebConf video stuff with your stuffs.
You seems to take little care of the bad reputation for Debian, DebConf
and the VideoTeam if anything goes wrong.
Well, you seem to want to do everything your way, on your own. You may
find yourself a little bit alone.
I am very concerned with all these things is seems you think I don't care
about.
not sure this matters.
I hope I am 100% wrong, still, I stroke my name through on the wiki help
page until i get a better understanding (or remove my name completely
otherwise)
other than people's offers to help feeling unappreciated, I am not too
worried about it. I am very good at setting up rooms, I am not good at all
in sorting out packaging issues and the few times I have tried it has
driven me crazy. I would be very appreciative of some help with that.
But volunteers can do whatever they want, so no one should get too upset
about it ok?
