OTOH you should not put much weight on this (and I think morray is
preparing a shorter list). From the bid to the DebConf the venue (and
most of DebConf things) could change, so I would interpret such question
in a generic way:
food: usual prices and availability of different food plans.
network: in generic way: just to know the possible problems (Martinique,
Le Camp and Portland have very different network problems:backbones on
the first, isolated location (one cable) to the second, and university
(existing network who cannot be really hacked??).
BTW I don't mean that you should ignore the problems, but be prepared to
change program and venue, so possibly exact plan are not yet usefull.
