What are the plans of each candidature in terms of having a local person liberated, or part-time liberated, to work on GUADEC 2007? Assuming you have the money to pay this person, although thoughts about where this money could come from would we also interesting. Many GUADEC vets say it makes a difference to have a GUADEC organization formed entirely by volunteers or having the complement of someone with a high level of implication (the example of Glynn and Dublin is usually mentioned as a good practice). As some of you know I've been hired by the Catalan government part time since December. In fact, I started doing less of half day because I had to close some stuff and then I recovered working full time. I believe it was at the en of March when my time was recovered, but since then it has been difficult to work les than full full time (np, I like the work, I'm learning a lot and I'm getting decently paid). All this is happening with a notable and growing group of volunteers and there are many tasks we are not reaching at. This might give you an idea of the amount of work involved in the GUADEC: GUADEC 2006 is getting a level of expectation bigger than previous editions and there is no good reason why these expectations should diminish next year. The amount of work will probably increase, as well as probably the exigence of the organizations supporting the event. I think this is a factor the GNOME Foundation will need to take in account when deciding the next venue. -- Quim Gil /// http://desdeamericaconamor.org | http://guadec.org
