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 feel we have succeeded quite well in working 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 plenty of choice for extra activities. The day trip (although not yet planned) will focus on opportunities to discover these surrounding environments. The venue will offer all the necessary comforts, grouped in a confined space. We have already discussed with the owners, on 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 hand Fiesch and Melchtal, two options similar to Vaumarcus (camp locations with everything nearby). On the other hand two well-known cities, Geneva and Zurich, for which presentations seem superfluous. We are well aware, that Switzerland is known for its high cost of living. Yet we are confident, that various sponsors will help us organize DebConf13 at good value for all participants. On behalf of the team. Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
