Re: [Debconf-team] Patch to DebConf orgateam structure

Hi I feel the same as Nigel and Allison stated. I think from the discussion on this thread that the DC16 team that attended DC15 can be considered as part of the 'global' team, and that new volunteers would be considered local. I imagine these to be people who may only want to get involved with

Re: [Debconf-team] Patch to DebConf orgateam structure

Hi, Thanks for the reply. Having read this, I think that the problem lies at what each of us identifies as local team, we are clearly thinking of different things. I wish we could have had this discussion at DebConf. When I say that there should be a local team, it does not mean that members of

Hey All, I know from experience, not just with DebConf but with other conferences and volunteer efforts as well, that Marga's points are very pertinent and paying attention to them will make the job much sweeter for the organizers. However, I also feel the vibe behind the Capetowners move to
