I doubt I will be able to attend, as I am visiting some friends, but
then again, my schedules are always complicated :)
Just as a data point, weekday evenings usually work better for me (in CET).
In any case, I was replying to comment on something else:

Why don't we try to outline possible scenarios, so we can later discuss
on more concrete plans? I see many unknowns here that need to be cleared
before we can reach a conclusion, also there are a few unanswered
questions in the thread. I know the local team has a vision for this,
and some of the rest have a different one, but let's hear everybody's
opinion, and try to reach an agreement that does not leave anybody upset.
So far, the only choices I have seen are:
1. No DebCamp, a few hack-only sessions during debconf, and less talks
to have more time for hacking.
2. Pre-debconf sprints, dunno on the debconf schedule. Supposedly, high
costs for venue and rooms. Intended to be very targeted and focused on
specific teams (if I've read correctly).
3. Post-debconf debcamp. Possible dates not known (Steve, can you
comment on this?). Patty mentioned 4th as a possible last day, which
would make a 4-day debcamp, which is not bad in my opinion.
Any other ideas? Can we discuss on the pros, cons, and costs of the options?
As a side note, I'd propose separating the discussion of pre-debconf
setup, as the local team has already assured there will be allowances
for a small group of people to start working beforehand.
Tincho.
