I do. The DMCA, and various laws and regulations made after 2001-09-11 combined with the suspicion that the US has me listed as an international arms dealer make me nervous about entering their jurisdiction. I have no objection to a Debconf in the US, however. On the contrary, I think it'd be a good idea. There's a ton of developers in the US, and many more willing to travel to the US for a conference, so it'd be silly not to. -- Enemies of Carlotta 1.0 mailing list manager: http://liw.iki.fi/liw/eoc/
