I don't agree that we should block registration on this decision. While
it would certainly be easier if we could decide this now befor opening
registration, I think it's also feasible to now just announce that we
are still considering Deb*Camp* as an option, but need some more money.
We can then later extend registration to DebCamp. But of course this
would not give us much more time. Certainly not more than about a month.
BTW there is a new budget in the debconf-data SVN which includes some
money for DebCamp.
To make DebCamp happen we need to (some things can be done in parallel):
a) A team decision on how to do it (how many persons, how many days,
...)
b) Negotiate with Le Camp the exact conditions for this (Which
buildings, price, ...)
c) A new budget including this option.
d) Approval of the budget by the DPL.

I'm in favor of extending the conference with some form of DebCamp. I'd
prefer to only rent part of Le Camp to reduce the costs and maybe also
not a full week but only about 1/2 a week. I'm not sure which part of Le
Camp would be best. One option is to just rent the "upper row" (main
building, Peupliers, Zwingli), the other option to rent the "best"
buildings (Rotonde, Passerelle, Beausite).
