Hi Jesus,

some thoughts we put togeather for debconf planning, hope it helps:

required things: 
 - location
 - sleeping facilities
 - catering/food
 - social events (formal dinner, sight seeing, trips...)
 - sponsors

ad location: 
 - hacklab (computers, connectivity)
 - testing facilities (serial cables, screens, connectivity,
   screwdrivers & tools)
 - bof facilities (smaller rooms, if possible with beamers,
   connectivity)
 - auditorium/audimax for talks
 - coffe and soft drinks, snacks

ad sleeping facilities:
 - gym hall for low budget close to the location, connectivity
 - cheap hotels close to location

ad catering/food:
 - if possible use the mensa 
 - or provide a catering similar to what we had in oslo

ad social events:
 - formal dinner with DPL
 - sight seeing tour for both DDs and attendance
 - propably 2 or 3 evening events (disco/party, dinner, heuriger...)
 - 1 or 2 trips (eg boat trip/river cruise, some village/city nearby)

ad sponsors:
 - O'Reilly (books)
 - IBM ("profile" needed: "I currently handle the sponsorship
   relationship for the Kernel Summit and for the Ottawa Linux
   Symposium, which are considered two community events which have the
   most synergy and benefit for IBM and where an IBM presence helps
   demonstrate our committment to the success and future of Linux. I
   would be interested in discussing what benefits a DebConf sponsorship
   might provide IBM with, as well as some more detail on what form the
   sponsorship might take. I looked at your outline of typical
   sponsorship opportunities; in general, and especially so for
   international conferences, our simplest option is a cash sponsorship.
   Shipping hardware internationally is something of a chore, and even
   locally, our development organization is not hardware rich enough
   that we can afford to be shipping away our desktops and lab
   machines.")
 - HP
 - Sun
 - Linspire
 - Linuxmagazine
 - local linux companies

We planned to form teams and assign tasks to each team while
communication remains solely via one list.

HTH yours Martin
