Government told us today that they have approved to sponsor for everyone
accommodation during DebCamp in their Hotels of choice (Seminole and
Holiday Inn), which are nice hotels, but not the cheapest ones.
We have to pay accommodation during DebConf, but we are free to move the
people to other (cheaper) hotels. We have to get real prices from the
hotels now to decide the most convenient option for us (and our budget).
This is a sponsorship of around 10K to 13K... so let's be happy :) And
means that the other things (transportation, welcome room in the
airport, palace of culture for conference dinner, etc...) seems to
happen somehow.
We will start tomorrow to reserve the hotels by these numbers:

With this we will have a little buffer. Then we give the papers over to
the gov and they pay for it.
Cheers,
Felix
