thanks for sharing your concerns, much appreciated.

There _are_ _many_ comfortable beds in Le Camp and (a very few less so and 
such we will need to decide how to distribute them (and as is evident on our 
mailing list and irc channel we're aware of the situation and discussing 
various options already, roughly ten months before the conference)) and (for 
Le Camp) there is also the option to share a car with other people who prefer 
to drive 20min in the morning and evening. (And still, that will not satisfy 
everybody. Thats why we do different conferences every year. And for DebConf13 
not much is finally decided today anyway, including even the venue.)


cheers,
