More at http://guadec.org/node/358 Well, 2 months before starting the event all this sounds good. WARNING: I'm always too optimist doing calculations. But I think that we can reach the 300 people once we get some core companies registering their participants plus our GUADEC Comittee to cover volunteers, press, keynote speakers and so on. We still need to figure out how many bungalows and which types should be reserve as GUADEC Committee. My nose tells me that even when many sponsored participants and some staff members have booked accommodation we still need to keep the 60 beds reservation, or more exactly 15 bungalows thinking that some profiles like keynote speakers and press are not going to share 4 in a bungalow. I'll try to negotiate a soft reservation for those 15, allowing to drop some i.e. before June 1st. Next Thursday I'm meeting the Vilanova Parkers to define exactly the GNOME Village on the map. Then we will leave some weeks for people to self-organize. After that we will allocate the people remaining. People can still book bungalows contacting directly Vilanova Park. This is clear for groups booking whole bungalows. It's not clear for individuals, although we are going to negotiate with them to open accommodation to bungalows counting 4 people per bungalow and assuring them to cover the costs of possible empty beds in a bungalow. It is very probable that I'm missing details. If you see something unclear do not hesitate to ask. -- Quim Gil /// http://desdeamericaconamor.org | http://guadec.org
