Hi there! I do not remember what we decided during the last meeting, so feel free to discard what is below. --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Hi there! This email is a formal bid to organize DebConf13 in Vaumarcus, Switzerland. You can find all the relevant information on the appropriate wiki page: <http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf13/Switzerland/Bid> Since the presentation at DebConf11 we regularly met to discuss the feasibility of the project. Not a single person was the only responsible from the beginning to the end of the process. On the contrary, we succeeded to act as much as possible as a group. We ended up choosing Vaumarcus, a small village overlooking the beautiful lake of Neuchâtel, because of its natural position which fully represents what Switzerland is known for: lakes and mountains. This will leave attendees enough choices of extra activities. The day trip (although still not planned) will for sure focus on opportunities to discover these surrounding environments. The venue will offer all the comforts grouped in a confined space. We have already discussed with its owners how to overcome possible problems, especially related to the number of attendees and the network connectivity. The backup plans are of two kinds: on one side Fiesch and Melchtal, two options very similar to Vaumarcus (camp locations with everything nearby). On the other side two well-known cities, Geneva and Zurich, for which presentations are superfluous. We are well aware that Switzerland is known for its high living costs, nevertheless we are confident that various sponsors will help us in organizing DebConf13 with the usual Swiss precision. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Maybe the last sentence should be reworked, but you got it ;-) Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
