Re: DC20: Questions regarding device inspections at the airport

Now, I have done some initial research regarding traveling to Israel on the website of my country's department of foreign affairs, I'm traveling from Germany. One note mentioned there is that at the airports, laptops might get confiscated by border patrol agents for examination. This can last several days and in such cases, the laptop is sent back for free [1]. Can you make any comment on this? Is this a common situation or rather exceptional? I would definitely love going to Haifa for DebConf, but I would have a problem with my laptop being confiscated for no particular reasons. As far I know, it is exceptional (and there are similar rules also here, in Europe, and in other countries). What I find nice of Israeli security policies, it is they make much less security theater, and much more (effective) screening. BTW, one of the large income of Israel is tourism, so it has not many very closed policies. So they relay much on screening (you will see at airport: many questions, different steps and queues, but you still can keep liquids). I really doubts you will have the laptop confiscated for "no particular reasons". As I wrote, Israeli security is very professional (and less security theater), they, for sure, know that there is cloud, if one should "import" nasty data. As far I know, Israel is not on the list (made by different companies), where a clean laptop is required (and provided). ciao cate PS: but I would not store our GPG master private key on laptop (but this is a general rule).

Re: Shipping Debian merch/goodies to India
Please note that this is also a good occasion for bid Debconf committee to setup a group of people, start organising thing together, and also start to think all financial issues that we have on paying and selling stuffs. This is an important first step. (remember that talk is cheap and organising is very time expensive: these are the two most important discoveries on Debconf organising). ciao Cate (and sorry for the top reply).

In any case the information was already partly obsolete. I migrated to v5, so most of the information are not more valid for my case. Could you check what are the conditions (we do not have GANDI handler anymore) and the setting for the new accounts? in any case, thank you cate
