So basically you're arguing that if people want to have a more sensible discussion about the who, what & where, they should use a closed mailing list? Like it was done in the past? Fine with me.
Please continue the discussion about the color, but it would be more effective to have started a separate thread about it than hijack this one which had some serious time-sensitive and open questions.
And yes, discussing whether we should discuss the color of the bikeshed is distracting too. I suggest we use 'the Oompa Loompa discussion meeting' and be done with it.

What I'm saying is, let's plan a conference before we argue over the
name.
But, most of the people on this list wouldn't have anything to do with this conference -- surely there's a better resource for conference-planning.
The thing most of us have a stake in is the name of the conference, and -- perhaps -- nothing more.
