good question. you can bring cheese etc to the CCNE before the event and I'm
sure there a fridges closeby UCA / the hotels you can use.

not if you want to drink wine and consume lots of strange cheese with a bunch
of strange people...

I dont think there is, based on what I saw here and what the localteam told
me.

this is _all_ given for the CCEN, which is why we choose it :-)

yep

it was also too loud and we were locked in the 7th floor...

ok. also it seems they only have 150 chairs.

We'll have busses for the crowd and surely it should be possible to call a
taxi so that it will pick up people at the CCEN. (Remember there are still
plans to get a taxi cooperative involved (for all of DebConf) to get faires
prices and such...)
I'd say we tell CCEN now we'll do it there on the 9th and _should_ a better
place magically pop up (this country has lots of seismic activities after
all), we still could changes plans...
