[Debconf-team] more Swiss venues
I'm sure it's not necessary to repeat the back-up venues[1]
However, as it feels like there is something of an impasse over the
contract and budget, I thought I would see what else exists
I found a few other links that serve to
a) validate Le Camp's pricing
b) offer alternatives (not necessarily cheaper, just different)
Locarno: 200 beds, varying prices:

(very close to Italian border too)
Zurich: 290 beds, varying prices:
http://www.youthhostel.ch/en/hostels/zurich/price-next-year
Both of those also give food prices, so it is possible to see that Le
Camp's prices are comparable.
One thing that comes to mind: these other venues could be used to create
a hybrid solution, e.g.
- 50-100 people in bunkers (cheapest)
- 150-250 people in hostel (not so cheap, but just within budget perhaps)
- 50 people in regular hotel (expensive, 200 CHF/night each)
Those who choose the regular hotel would obviously have to contribute
more to the cost.
