Have you not met Paul Sladen? As I said long ago, Le Camp (when considered as a DebConf venue) is family hostile, and for the same reasons is comfort-loving-corporate hostile, and also for those other cases you mention. This has been know and accepted since DC12, at least, if not before. It's since come to light that it's marginally more hostile than was thought at the time of the venue decision meeting, but really, nothing major has changed. Wherever we decide to go will advantage some groups and penalise others, and perhaps it's time that the smelly tree-huggers had their turn ;-) Personally, I'm rather glad that it looks like we'll only have to put up with this place for a week, rather than two, but now that the decision is made, we should stop whining about it and do everything in our power to make it the best DebConf ever and prove all the doubters wrong.
