when did they confirm?
If they confirmed some time ago, this is not what I want, since a
lot can have happend since then. I want to know their intention
to come as "fresh" as possible.

well, if they check "yes" or "no" we know what we want. what if
they dont check anything? we could not plan with that info. and
we dont have time to wait any longer, either.

Not only the food but also sleeping place and travel sponsorship.
(I have not heared from quite a lot of people who wanted
support).
It could be that we come close to the limits of the dorm and the
Intel-food-money. we might very well kick some out. which ones
should those be? I would prefere to kick those that dont reconfirm.
