On the other hand I'm concerned that once again
changing fundamental
parts of the bid after the decision is shown as a normal thing that
happens each year again. I agree that everything should be still
changeable even much later than the bid meeting, but it should not be
done without very good reasons to do so. Not just because it has been
done previously.
If people don't like parts of a bid they should not expect that these
things will change afterwards anyway, but voice their concerns before
the bid is accepted.
so, then concern is voiced (and gets forgetten as the bid gets accepted) and
then the bid should be unchangable? thats silly. OTOH, it's totally normal to
change the plan as we go and change it _for good reasons_ and we do other
things according to plan, for _similar good reasons_.
and, a lot depends on money / costs and who pays them (eg venues at dc11 and
dc9 were not paid by us), and who can sign which contracts when...
of course, a debconf planned well in advance going that plan would be a
wonderful thing, but I dont think we will ever see it. which doesnt mean, we
should not plan, quite the contrary, we should plan better. but this includes
expecting changes.
cheers,
Holger
