Hi, I'm sick and saddened to read these mails and will not participate in any further of this.
Also, I cannot stop thinking "gigantic bikeshedding (mostly from people who never build one). And based on rumors of what the bikeshed is supposed to look, while not listening to the people who actually have seen this and other possible construction sites." - but sadly, DebConf is not a bikeshed (its slightly more complicated than that, cough) and Switzerland is not an easy place to hold a DebConf. Which we knew and took into consideration. Now basically claiming we are stupid is not only borderline insulting. But keep on... the greatest possible low has not yet been reached. We surely can do worse than this! (And I'm not saying/thinking/wanting to imply every concern is equal to claim we are stupid. By far not.) And, think what you want, you'll do this anyway. sad, Holger P.S.: and about the accomodation post from Joss: a.) those are _not_ balanced examples for Le Camp, Le Camp is actually a pretty nice place compared to eg a youth hostel. (It's not a 4 star hotel though.) b.) you havent seen the you youth hostel (and its tent village (and the showers there...!)) of our "alternative" in Interlaken, have you? and c.) are you aware that another alternative were/are bomb shelters? Switzerland is ridiculous expensive, that's *why* we choose Le Camp and why we did this so early. _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
