Since the idea was to host GUADEC during DebCamp, before DebConf I don't
think it would be much of an issue during the actual conference. There would
obviously be more administration before conference especially with
financial matters.
If the your team are not interested in taking this "extra"
responsibility, then it might better for us in Gothenburg to
focus on fixing the issues with our current bid.

Hm ok, I don't think I will start writing anything if there is
not more interest for this from your team.
