Your team is very small. How can we fix that? The bid page mentions a
MiniDebConf that would have happened on February 12, during which new

That was an old MiniDebconf.  The plan is to do another this summer,
in support of the main DebConf.  Possibly one week during the DebConf
for the people that can not go to Argentina.

This sounds like a nice plan - having a European MiniDebConf in parallel to
the Argentinian DebConf. I might be tempted to join :)

That could be a dangerous precedent. If regions with high concentration
of Debian people start doing MiniDebConfs in parallel with DebConfs that
happen in less densely-populated regions, we could be removing the
incentive for people to attend DebConf when it is, let's say, not so
convenient travel-wise.

I understand that not everyone has the availability for longer trips for
several reasons, there are carbon footprint concerns, etc. But DebConfs
outside of central Europe already have a smaller attendance, it would be
nice if we could avoid giving people one more reason not to go.
MiniDebConf can be held at any other time of the year.


"MiniDebConfs are local meetings organized by members of the Debian project to achieve goals similar to those of DebConf, but in a regional context." - From Debian Wiki[1]

Doing something similar during DebConf in other locations devalues ​​the efforts of teams from more distant places in organizing the event.
