Thank you for the tips about the note.
As the accommadaton have to be in a hotel, the rooms have air conditioning.

"Comunidade Curitiba Livre" is not a organisation.
We will use ASL.Org, the organisation that handled DebConf4.

They will publish 2018 calender onf the end of 2017.
So, after that, It will not change.

The hotels are very close. One of them is across the street.
You can go walking.

127v. No transformers are commonly available (you can find them to buy though).

They are on the same street. 1,3km.
You can go walking or take a bus.
The hotels are between UTFPR and the market.
