Hey all, We're considering using class rooms inside the venue as dormitories for some attendees. This arrangement is not yet a solid proposal, but it seems totally doable in both venues we're contacting, and it'd reduce a lot the costs with accommodation. According to our venues' contacts, this has been successfully done in previous events. In that case we'd probably rent basic equipment (beds?) from the local Red Cross or from another organisation. Each class could host 10-15 people. The big gymnasium could also be used, but in that case it'd look more like an indoor camping thing = less privacy (and more fun...?) Both venues seem to provide enough bathroom/showers, details will come soon. Before estimating costs and making a real proposal we'd like to have some input from experienced debconfers: - Do you think it could work for DebConf? - Do you think is it possible to estimate ~how many attendees would be comfortable with this arrangement? Could a sort of poll help here? - Any other idea? (regarding physical layout, noise rules etc) We'll be soon contacting the hotels which are located close to each venue option, and your input will help us to prepare the price quota requests. It may also help estimating the amount of extra rooms needed in the venue. Bests, -- tiago
