Topping up numbers for the DebCamp week is the highest priority

However, bringing people for an extra week, post-DebConf, might give us
a bigger discount (but only if Le Camp is available)

Let me clarify point (d):

- do they need to have a separate front desk, or just share the
DebCamp/DebConf front desk?
- do they make registrations using Penta?  Or do they just give a
spreadsheet telling us how many beds they need for each night?

We can decide these things at the meeting where we discuss the issue

Yes, but do we want to have

- a group that will leave at the end of DebCamp, giving up their beds
for the DebConf guests?

- a group where people stay into DebConf too?

The worst case scenario is that they all stay for an extra 1-2 nights to
see a little bit of DebConf, and that there are not enough beds for
other DebConf guests on the first 1-2 nights.

Given the limited (326) beds, my feeling is we should aim for groups
that won't stay during DebConf itself.
