Re: EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: GUADEC!



Hi there!

I am planning on attending GUADEC, and I'd love to give a lightening talk on GNOME Clock. I am currently debating whether it'd be a good idea to stay in the hotel in A Coruña which is the 'official' GUADEC hotel or not - its a bit more than I usually spend on a hotel, but if most people stay there I'll probably bite the bullet and stay there... any thoughts on that regard?

I *really* would like to attend the conference and do a short
presentation about the project's progress :-)
According with my plans, I'll depart from São Paulo, going to Madrid
and arriving in A Coruña, probably, 2 days before the conference and
stay in the city until the hackfests' end.
I have been applying for sponsorship, should I wait for something?
