Right - the price should be lower, but in terms of availability of outside food (and therefore the frequency with which people choose to eat outside the conference), New York and Edinburgh are probably good models for what we'll find. Banja Luka may as well, since the conference was fairly central in the city with a number of restaurants around. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
