Well, comparing with the bid checklist I think it's still very rough - we may have venue+accom pricing, but there are a lot of important details (food, network room, 24h access, handicap accessibility) that aren't yet filled in at all, and I think that several of these points could scuttle this venue choice if they don't turn out in our favor; so I am planning to follow through on getting more complete data in time for this extended deadline. (Preferably by dividing and conquering among the local team. :) > Just for completeness, please update the main DC14 Wiki to show the > proposal is not anymore in the early stages: > https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf14 Done.
