Hi all,
sorry for the late reply on this important discussion: lately I was
really really busy (in real life) and I just did Debian work if cruelly
pinged ;).
First of all, just a correction:

Not-DDs can be added to @debian.org alias: at least I was added
at events_at_d.o when I wasn't a DD yet, and the same happened for
cdvendors_at_debian.org.
Wrt organization: wiki is really useful for organizing stuff. And is also quite
easy to follow the organization process *if* you're aware of the
existence of the wikipage.

Oh!! Finally!
To make a long story short: I have no experience of organizing events,
for instance, and I'm in the events team just to do the promoting/www
part.
It's quite a while that me and Luca are talking about enlarge the team, to
include at least 1 person from each part-of-the-world where events are
more regularly organized.
This person need to be one who often organizes events/booths, so someone
with experience and who knows practical things about events.
Now, we usually have a lot of events in Europe mostly in the
German-speaking area, but also in France and UK.
Then we have few events in the US, some in Hispano
America and Brazil and a *lot* of events in India (thanks to the Debian
India group) and some in Taiwan.
I've thought about a couple of names for some of these areas (please fill the
list of possible candidates for this area, or propose yourself!), to be part of
the events team:
German-speaking area: Annette Kalbow, Arne Wichmann, Axel Beckert,
Franziska Lichtblau
France-speaking area: Carl Chenet, Sylvestre Ledru
UK: ...
US: ...
Hispano America: Fernando Estrada, Gunnar Wolf
Brazil: Ana Caroll Comandulli, Marcelo Santana
India: Praveen Arimbrathodiyil
Taiwan: Andrew Lee
I think that having (at least) one person for each area in the events
team, acting as a proxy between the local organizers and the Debian
Project could be a good idea.
Again (to avoid misunderstanding) I think that decentralized organization
is the best option due to the fact that "it works!"™, but there are some
area where the Debian project could help:
promoting the events on internet, offering the Event Box and other
material, etc.
And this is actually the work to be done on the event team.
Just this :)
So, no problem (from my PoV) in let people organize events on specific
mailing lists and their languages, as far as there is a person who can
act as a proxy between local organizers and Debian.
If you all agree on this part, I'd really like to start to send some
invitation to the events team. ;)
Cheers
Francesca
