Re: EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: GUADEC!

Hi Emily,

Are you thinking of Rialta student hall described in a document linked to from http://www.guadec.org/node/12 ? If so, the double room there is
48.21 euro, which is roughly $63 dollars, a night. If you split that with a roommate, it doesn't seem to be that much. In any case, as Daniel said, some other or these accommodations might be covered for people who will be sponsored.

Thanks!
Marina

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?

Emily

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?
