I think this is mostly a missunderstanding. By "main contact point" Luca
didn't mean that the organization of the Debian presence at any event
should be by private mail to events_at_debian.org. As far as I understood
it he rather meant that anyone organizing a Debian presence at any event
should inform events_at_d.o about this to make sure the event is added to
the relevant pages on www.debian.org and to coordinate thing like
merchandise and other stuff that needs to move from one event to the
next. The events teams purpose in my opinion is not to organize the
local presence at an event but to coordinate between the different ppl
organizing booths at events and conferences. For this to actually happen
they need to be informed about events and that's easier if you contact
them on their mail alias so that they don't have to monitor all the
debian-events-* lists (some of them even in languages they don't speak).

Does this address yours and Axels and Bernds concerns? Luca please
correct me if your view on this is different.
