No. Unfortunately, I was unable to arrange travel fund myself. Have a fun in SG!

I visited Singapore last year for FOSSASIA and my feeling was mixed (I
gave talk on different subject than Debian!). Before that, I met DD
(and other Debian contributor) and it was fun for sure.
So, if everything goes OK, I can attend (Conference doesn't provide
travel+stay to speakers).

There's an anual ping for Debian Maintainers, maybe it would be a good idea

There is group who regularly ping inactive maintainer, it is called,
MIA team (See: http://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/MIATeam) . Did you
reported about those DDs to MIA?
There is also WAT run which actually remove inactive maintainer(s)
periodically based on certain criterias. (For example:

Re: linhdd concerns (was: Re: Updated Debian Maintainers Keyring)
On Nov 24, 2007 7:44 PM, Anthony Towns [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Ramakrishnan, Mohammed, Jaldhar, Kartik, Hi all, Please read me inline. It's been pointed out that Kartik's latest upload of linhdd has included an i386 binary in arch:all package, and explicitly overriden the lintian warning for it (see the mail quoted below). That seems pretty dodgy. Yes. Its pretty bad. I agree. And deeply apologize. Kartik what possible reason did you have for overriding the lintian error report, rather than changing your package to remove the error? linhdd introduce binary abs_fdisk which was modified copy of fdisk from new version 0.4. It was arch:all before that too, and previous maintainer set it to arch:all saying 'it will save achieve space'. Since, it was working fine with 0.3, linhdd now depends on modified copy of fdisk, abs_fdisk. I fixed this by adding upstream provided copy of it. Did you ask anyone's advice before doing so? Why are you asking for the removal of linhdd now (Bug#452629), instead of *fixing* the package, eg, by making the package architecture specific instead of arch:all and either the binary built as part of debian/rules, or simply using the fdisk that's already packaged as part of util-linux? As suggested to me, I did removal of linhdd. To fix this bug, we have to build util-linux and I think its too much and probably wrong to have fdisk stay in /usr/bin. Ramakrishnan, how did your sponsorship checking miss both this error and the RC bug (442093) the previous upload introduced by the i386 binary's absence? Mohammed and Jaldhar, as advocates (and AM) of Kartik, do you have anything to add here? For the record, Ramakrishnan also seems to have sponsored uploads of the following packages for Kartik that are still present in the archive: of festival, festival-doc, fontypython, speech-tools, tagtool, and uni2ascii. His only other sponsored upload still in the archive is kpsk 1.0.1-3 in sarge for Sebastian Muszynski.
