And accomodation > and food. I also think we should try to retain debcamp if at all possible. As someone who has worked on the network infrastructure for debconf in past conferences, debcamp is when much of the custom/specialized network setup and testing actually happens. If we only get access to the facilities the first day of debconf, i suspect that we will have a conference network much poorer than people have grown to expect. We will probably also have a much grumpier network team (is that possible?) because setup work will take them away from the other scheduled activities of the conference itself. If we have no debcamp, does the PDX team have a proposal for how to get the conference network in place effectively starting on the first day? --dkg
