DebConf 4 will be hold in Porto Alegre, Brazil, from May 26th to June 2nd, right before FISL (Internacional Free Software Forum).
This is a internal work page, not intended for people outside from the organizing committee. "Regular" information at our website: http://www.debconf.org/debconf4/
General TODO List:
- Call For Papers - Will we go for the simple-mail or will we copy FISL's one (I don't see why)
- Press Release
- Air fare sponsorship taskforce - We have to decide how it's going to work. What will our criteria be and so on.
- Macan's document
- Conference websystem (basicly scheduling) - something like ["MCal"] or PHP-Calendar
- And conference documentation - this is a long term issue: we have to document our experience so people can reuse it in DebConf5, 6, 7...

<enrico> A useful thing that we had in Vis were facilitators: someone whose duty was to make things go smooth. An example of a facilitator role could be having a walk around from time to time and updating a big central whiteboard with all that is going on
We're discussing the DebConf4Digital infrastructure.
