In the August meeting, I support this. Personally I dont care that much, but you've made pretty clear that the current date doesnt fit you well and we need you at the meetings, so... let's move it. I'm fine with sundays at 16 UTC (or earlier) or another time in the week. Maybe again on mondays at 19 UTC ? > Regarding moving Debconf because of Linuxtag: Well...

I would suggest having a dedicated short irc meeting about this topic/issue, this I doubt this issue can be solved / agreed over mail. And I would suggest, that you, Gunnar, propose a date+time here. As we also should try to solve this issue ASAP I would be happy with a short meeting tomorrow evening or thursday evening, it should only be announced at least 24h in advance (which is difficult but doable for tomorrow ;-) Maybe this is too much panic. Maybe it's more sensible if you, Gunnar, ask the Oaxtepec people first and then announce this meeting after you spoke to them. > Besides, if we are planning starting Debcamp on April 29, Debconf proper > would start on the 6/7th.

At debconf5 we also kept the login information (for LDAP as well for wlan auth) inside comas, but we had to login in our comas account to fetch the other account information. For debconf6 I would prefer to share the LDAP between comas, website and for the machines we'll provide in Oaxtepec. > Wouldn't it be better to have most of the content generated > by people specifically allowed to do so, with possibly a Wiki-type > structure (with public access) inside?

I think it's best if everybody (with a dc6 login) is allowed to generate/modify content.
