Hi all, Just a quick word about coordinating accommodation-related work. The top-most priority at the moment is to get some basic quotes from hostels for the dates we have decided upon. We have a list of hostels and some basic information on them. By getting basic quotes for the dates and numbers, we can then narrow down this list and start to look at them more closely. The "accommodation" directory in debconf-team SVN should be the canonical location for information relating to this effort. Please make every effort to keep this up-to-date, so people can pick up where you've left off. Trawling IRC backlogs is too much work :) If you can't update SVN when you make a call (at work, say), mail me at jon@alcopop.org and I'll do it. Basic quotes should be for the night of 16th June to morning of 24th, and for approximately 200 people. If you can get quotes for bigger numbers (up to 350), great: but aiming for 200 will help to compare quotes. We will almost certainly have to book more at more than one venue. The following files in SVN should help: * hostels - canonical location of hostel info and progress with getting quotes. Please include who you are and dates when you make an update. * requirements - a "cheat-sheet" summarizing the info you may need to quote whilst on the phone, to save digging through wiki pages * eval_checklist - don't use this yet. A detailed list of things to check at hostels. Of use when we have some basic quotes. Try to be detailed enough so that someone else can pick up where you left off (e.g. "awaiting an invoice", when is it due? When should somebody chase it up?) If anyone can think of anything else pertinent please reply :) -- Jon Dowland
