Re: [Debconf-team] [Debconf13-localteam] Updates from Le Camp meeting
Hi
For debconf-team readers, please see the start of the thread at:
http://lists.debconf.org/lurker/message/20120814.194536.48d8e25a.en.html
debconf13-localteam members: Please crosspost everything which is not
strictly only localteam related to debconf-team for now. At debconf in
nicaragua we basically agreed to merge the localteam and globalteam
lists into just one list. But this has not happened yet.

At the meeting today we talked about 13 days. But I'm not sure if this
is still negotiatable as we did not really talk about the dates. We
should probably do that soon as I think that Saturday to Saturday would
be best (this would mean 3. to 17. august). This year quite some people
left one day early because they wanted to be home on Sunday to restart
work on Monday.

The 4880 for 200 beds information in the wiki is wrong. The point where
the minimal price and the price per bed are equal is at 243 beds. This
is probably a misunderstanding because Mr. Pianaro did made some
confusing example which I only understood after recalculation everything
myself. One example had 200 persons and was intended to show that we
have to pay the minimal amount of 4880 in this case and the other
included 300 persons and showed that the price per bed appies in that
case. But the minimal amount only comes into effect if we don't reach
more than 243 persons on average. Which equals to 3156 guest-nights.
I hope that solves your confusion.
When counting guest nights for DC11 and DC7 tonight after the meeting I
realized that (excluding those without dates, see darst's clarification)
we did not reach 3156 guest-nights for those conferences.
But the good thing is that food is only paid per actual meal consumed.
There is no minimum there. And food is the more expensive part. So I
don't think this is a problem.
