No. I am waiting for the gnome sysadmin team to move their fucking ass (pardon
my french but i'm a bit fed up with this crap). I need an ssl cert for
the registration site. A mail asking for confirmation has been sent to
webmaster guadec org, and despite various requests no-one could be arsed
to handle this. I've been waiting for weeks now, and nothing happens.

Without SSL i can't accept payments, requirement from the payment service
provider (and a sensible one).

Same with the request for a webmasters mailing list. Which has been requested
2 months ago.

No action what so ever.

I'm quite furious that no action is being taken on these matters. Despite
German's involvement, there is 0.0 movement or even a suggestion of someone
intending to take action on it.

In that case i will take registration for training completely out of the
registration site and let you handle it the way you want it. That's what i 
sense you're aiming at with the above paragraph, correct?
