I just wanted to point out that this would be at least the 3rd such
effort at documenting GUADEC planning - separate checklists have been
created during & after Villanova & Gran Canaria previously.

I would prefer to make existing resources more useful, rather than
starting from scratch (again).

Please see

Also, guadec-planning archives should have lots of useful advice.

The major difficulty with GUADEC has always been having a very clear
idea of who is doing a given task early enough, and having someone to
answer questions like "how many X should we buy?" or "How many rooms do
we need?" and getting things like events organised sufficiently early so
that we're not rushing at the mast minute.

Cheers,
Dave.
