Yes, it is a matter of wording. We could spam users not registered to the site if we would be so stupid to do that, since we are requesting email as a main contact data anyway (i.e. Fernando could spam easily all the Stuttgart attendees, so we aren't doing anything technically new here). I was thinking that there are still so many things that need to be discussed about the registration apart from the technical and financial process i.e. profiles & pricing. I don't see ourselves getting to a stable registration process to be officially announced before mid January - if lucky. And, as someone has said, it is not that relevant to open the registration process before having a more defined schedule, at least. Threfore it doesn't make any sense to make this registration process stop the release of the new site - as it is doing now since it's considered like a critical bug. The only one stopping http://guadectest.ourproject.org/ to move to the GNOME's servers, after a couple of days of Drupal tuning. Proposed steps to follow in order to release the new guadec.org site: - Make a copy of the current test site and give it to the infrastructure team to install it in the GNOME server, following Ross Golder's instructions. - Once the site is installed somewhere under gnome.org, in a non official location i.e. not at guadec.org, complete the main set of info pages to make the site releasable. The sweet candy of it will be the logo and web theme contests. All this can be done through the web interface by users like you and me. - Once the site is ready at a content level too and main bugs are fixed, release it officially becoming the new guadec.org site. - In the meantime, we will keep working on the registration process discussing in this list and prototyping/testing at http://guadectest.ourproject.org/ . Once it works and is stable we move it to the production site. This will be the same procedure with any relevant new functionality added to the site while GNOME doesn't offer a reasonably agile way to test & crash things somewhere in the official servers. -- Quim Gil - http://desdeamericaconamor.org
