Chris,

I know its a volunteer-based run event and really appreciated all the hard
work they have done as I'm also contributors to open source and always
volunteer whenever chance.

Let me know if I can deliver any help.

Keep up the good work and cheers for all volunteers.

We are taking too long. Sadly, you never offered help for us to make
it shorter.

Mehul,

> Don't you think you guys are taking so much time? Please update asap.

Whilst I can understand your frustration, determination and motivation
to learn the schedule of talks, asking in an almost-aggressive manner is
unlikely to have the effect you deire. Please refrain from doing this. :)

Please remember that DebConf is a volunteer-run event and the
organisers have lives and a real-life jobs outside. Please do remain
patient, I am sure that they will be announced soon…

Based on Gunnar's previous email I'd expect it relatively soon, but it's 
currently 9:30AM Wednesday in Mexico City.


Please continue to be patient. We all want it to be ready as soon as 
possible :).


Thanks,

Hello Team,

When are you going to share the next approved talks? It's already the 11th
of July.

Don't you think you guys are taking so much time? Please update asap.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot, Taowa.

Thing is: Yes, we wanted to send out the schedule at least by July
1st. But all of the Content Team members have been very busy. I (as
the content team lead - Ultimately, I took the responsability to get
this job done!) had set out as my goal for last week to build the
schedule, and I have a *partial* advance. But I am not in Mexico City,
and won't return before tomorrow night. I will try to work on it
during Tuesday, and with great luck, by Wednesday we will have
something to show to the world.

But I also have a life and a real-life job. And we also have (small
but needed) family vacations. And everything. So, please, be patient.

I'm sorry not to accept help from just about anybody - Building a
schedule is a process that seems easy, but requires a bit of expertise
and to consider several issues you only get from experience... So I'm
only asking for the Content Team (or, at most, the broader
organization team) for help.

My advise to all volunteers:
 Be prepared for questions like How can I help you?

Hello,

I understand that these kinds of answers are frustrating, but the content team, 
as with every other team, is made up of volunteers. There are only a small 
number of people who make them up and they are all trying their best to do so 
as fast as possible.

Thanks,
Taowa

RE: When the Next batch of approved talks for DebConf18 announced?

[Peter van Summeren]

Hello,

I really protest against answers as “As soon as they are ready. We are working 
on that.”

It is not only exemplary bad communication, it tells also about lack of 
planning. What and when!

It is the first Asian Debian Conference!

Also about the facilities of the dorm. Every youth hostel gives full info, many 
send it on reservation.

What I have seen about this e-visa is really crazy.

And yes: maybe one could look at what kind of weather to expect. It feels 
hotter than the measurement. See Wunderground.

With friendly greetings,

Peter van Summeren
