Not really: there are few rooms and in this case we should not minimize
also the costs (the number of rooms to be used).
I think most of work (which is independent to the method) is to define
and clarify to attendees what they are booking, and to be sure that they
select the right category in the booking system/penta/frab.
And this worry me more than manual vs. booking system.
- Errors will happen and people might get angry
Right, but usually we send the list of roommates (usually together with
other information that attendee should check), so last minute changes
are possible.
Note: Also with the booking system we should send the details before the
DebConf and eventually doing last changes manually (with or without
booking system, but changes restricted to the relevant team).
IMO we should go to the manual method (for this debconf), because it is
easier, quickier and we have still frab to set up. For next DebConf (if
we finally deploy frab), we can go with the booking system.
Obviously, if someone has time to setup a booking system in time
(without delaying frab development) I would be also happy.
