Hi,
Just clarification not about this specific case.

The venue voted in the decision meeting does not necessarily need to
be the venue used for the DebConf itself. It's considered "Plan A",
and it shows what the local team was able to investigate and the
standards that the location should be able to provide. However, if
there are problems with the venue, or if there was later a better
proposal, it's not unthinkable to change venues later on. This has
happened a number of times before and I expect it to happen in the
future as well.
In particular in the case of DC13, when the election was held it was
said that the venue needed a lot of work, and that there were a number
of disadvantages. Coming up with a better venue would have been a
great outcome, which the team would have welcomed, without the need of
an "overrule".
I'm saying this because some people are under the impression that we
should go to LeCamp no matter what since that's what was voted.
However, we should only go to LeCamp if it's the best offer than we
can get.
