Hm, we enter the realm of interpretation :)

Is there something that my original message didn't make clear? :)

Resources: GHM has had low budgets in the past, due to reuse of venue,
and sponsorship from various organizations (FSF and FSFE, to name recent
examples)

Space: As mentioned in my original mail, ideally one room of 40-50
people for three days. Could be before/after the main GUADEC days.

Infrastructure: Normal infrastructure associated with a room: projector
or screen of some sort, and ideally internet though that is not
essential, and we all know how conferences work in the end... (/me
thinks of Vilanova)

Cheers,

Andy
