I didn't get any stamp at all from France or Finland on my way to DebConf5, although I did get one from the US when returning home after that conference. I agree neither France or Finland is likely to be out to fuck me, and since it was a US passport that already shows I am allowed to be in the US. Still, not stamping a passport seems to be more common than one might think, and it's probably legal in at least some countries. I did kind of want those stamps, though. :) (Mexico and the US both stamped my passport on my DebConf6 trip. None of the countries I've mentioned in this email stamped my passport upon departure from that country, only sometimes upon arrival.) - Jimmy Kaplowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Basically, that allows the government to cause a reduction in pollution relative to pre-permit levels at the least economic cost possible, using free-market principles to allocate the permits efficiently. In other words, those people who can reduce pollution cheaply will sell the permits to those who have a harder time reducing pollution, using the profits to offset the cost to their business of reducing pollution. If the total amount of pollution allowed by all the permits is less than the pollution before, this will be an environmental gain at minimal cost. If they built in some way for the allowed quantities to be adjusted (e.g., variable-value or finite-duration permits), they can do further reductions using the same free-market-based system. I think it's pretty clever, actually, and it's a good thing for the environment rather than a bad one. You're not going to get rid of all pollution, because that would shut down too much business/industry, and this solution allows for reduction to desired levels in the most economically efficient manner possible. You and I often have the same knee-jerk reaction to things, and the first time I heard about these (a few years ago) I had the same negative reaction you did. Now that I have learned about it, my reaction in this case has changed. - Jimmy Kaplowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] pgpZxGbbLhGrN.pgp Description: PGP signature

Go to the Jesux home page and click on the word Jesux in the section title "What is Jesux?". You'll see a real explanation.

Proper Virtual Package Selection for Althea
Hi. I am a new package maintainer in charge of my first Debian package. The package, an email client named althea, has just been installed into unstable last night. It is an IMAP email client, but I don't believe it supports reading locally through the mbox format files in /var/spool/mail (which is good for me because I have switched to Maildir :) . I think it reads email exclusively through IMAP. I assume it should provide the imap-client virtual package, but should it also provide the mail-reader virtual package, or is that restricted to MUAs that support local reading? Please CC me in any replies, since I am at the moment not subscribed to debian-devel. I intend to become a Debian developer, and then I will subscribe, but I don't have the time right now to remember how to write a procmail recipe to filter out the list into a separate folder to prevent my inbox from getting too large. (Any help on this would be appreciated as well.) Thank you for your advice on this matter. - Jimmy Kaplowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Proper Virtual Package Selection for Althea
I investigated the suggestion you provided, and there is one problem with it
for me: I use Maildir to hold my email, and not the mbox format. What solution
is there for me? Otherwise I like it very much.

Keysigning request in New York City
Hi, I have recently started maintaining a Debian package for Althea, an IMAP email client for GTK+. That package, thanks to the sponsorship of current Debian developer Bas Zoetekouw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, is now in unstable. I would like to become a Debian developer so that I can upload that package by myself, so is there anyone in the New York City area who can sign my GPG key? Please CC me on any replies, for until I have time to set up a procmail filter that works with Maildir and separates out messages from this list, I am not subscribed to debian-devel. Thanks. - Jimmy Kaplowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Keysigning request in New York City
I don't think I'll need it - Dave Baker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and Itai Zukerman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> both seem to be able and willing to sign my key. If that fails for some reason, I'll contact you, but don't plan on it. Thanks very much for the offer though. - Jimmy Kaplowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Sun, Apr 29, 2001 at 01:29:19PM -0400, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I will be back in the NYC area on May 16th, if no one else has signed your > key by then, I will do it. > > On Sun, Apr 29, 2001 at 12:33:39PM -0400, Jimmy Kaplowitz wrote: > > Hi, I have recently started maintaining a Debian package for Althea, an IMAP > > email client for GTK+.

We don't have the issues fully solved, and of course can no more make guarantees that there won't be visa or border hassles than the Mexico local team was able to for DebConf6 (the first year where visas became an issue). What he meant was that we've started discussing, researching, and explaining the issues; building connections with people who can help us navigate the bureaucracy and figure out the real truth; and planning ways to reduce the hassles and ease the paperwork of getting any necessary visa and then entering the US. We have some information from during the bid process here: http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf10/NewYork/VisaAndBorderIssues The Boston bid, which also would have been in the US, has a few additional thoughts on their bid page: http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf10/Boston#Visa.2FImmigration.2FLocale_Issues Further, we're definitely going to be giving people invitation letters and other advice to make sure they present themselves in the best (accurate) light they can to the visa or border officials, as well as separate exaggeration from fact with regard to border search and other privacy concerns so that people can make rational decisions based on reality instead of sensationalism. More details will be provided at the DebConf10 presentation in Caceres at DebConf9, if not sooner. - Jimmy Kaplowitz ji...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The relevant US government websites also make it seem like a business visa is correct in this case, and based on US university websites that seems also applicable to academics visiting the US for academic conferences, not just for-profit ones. Regardless, I agree about the triple-checking. We've already received an offer of assistance from a properly licensed lawyer who lives in NYC and has dealt with visa applications before. We're definitely going to pay attention to getting these details right. - Jimmy Kaplowitz ji...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
