Re: [Debconf-team] Notes from reviewing bids. (And questions for teams)
Hi,
looking into the current bids
[1] https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf15/Bids/Mechelen
[2] https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf15/Bids/Germany/Heidelberg
[3] https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf15/Bids/Germany/Muenchen
[4] https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf15/Bids/Karlskrona
the both german ones look most ready ones to me. Also looking into
https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf15/Germany/VenueScouting it looks
to me that the German team invested a lot of effort in preparing its
bits.
Heidelberg's Youth Hostel doesn't say anything about wheel chair
access in the wiki, but according to the website it has 6 wheel chair
accessable sleeping rooms, it states that the restaurant part are wheel
chair accessable, no information about the auditorium rooms.
Mechelen wiki page does not say anything about wheel chair access,
guessing from the picuture it looks like most rooms might be accessable.
No information about wheel chair acces in Karlskrona and no easy
findable information about that.
I personaly like the idea of Heidelberg, to have everything in one
place, though the auditorium rooms might be a bit on the small end.
Auditorium in Munich looks large enough, several class rooms look like
they could be used as hacklabs.

Heidelberg has UUGRN which is Unix User Group Rhein Neckar, which we
could try to activate for this. Also Darmstadt LUG is very active,
Darmstadt is like 40km away.

i am quite positive that would could also get reasonable internet access
in Heidelberg.
