Thanks for the good work! I am mostly writting about this section for DebConf: "minimum 350 beds/nights, on average for 8 nights" Here is my opinion: It seems to high for me according to page 25 from http://media.debconf.org/dc13/report/DebConf13-final-report.en.pdf In short, since 2008 we have never reached 350 attendees arrived in total. Not speaking about beds per night on average during DebConf here. For information, we had 320 people arrived in total at DC13. I would be interested to know how much it represents in term of nights in average during DebConf only. @hug, cate: Do you know where these figures are hidden? BUT, there is an option to lose exclusivity of the Venue early in April 2015 which make the deal reasonable to me. It means we should open registration early in January 2015 in order to have good numbers by end of March 2015. As accepting this contract will generate most of the cost of DC15, I would be happy to see a complete balanced budget for the event. Cheers, Raphaël
