DebConf24 bid for Birmingham, England
Hi,
A late-breaking bid which we had discounted earlier in the year, but talks
this past week have led us to think is viable.
https://wiki.debian.org/DebConf/24/Bids/Birmingham
Given the time constraints this is very skeleton, and it's fair to say that
without academic support we would be buying our way out. But we believe
that's viable within the sorts of budget numbers circulated for prior
conferences, and there are lots of advantages to an easily-accessible,
Western Europe conference in a reasonably economical city this year.
Similarly the checklist is not fully documented yet but we have been
referring to it for the bid page so we can ensure items are generally being
covered as we go.
Thus please treat it as a serious bid, and if not successful this year it
will provide competition for others and the foundations for a more prepared
bid in future years. We will continue to progress and refine it between now
and the end of the year.
Thanks,
