Mmm yes but a) We need to book for those involved in the organisation (including the team of volunteers, probably), the sponsored participants and the speakers we invite. b) The discount we can negotiate with the camping and hotels is related to the reservation we make in advance. Maybe we can get a small discount in he hotels just for the fact of recommending them, but the camping will be more or less full at the end of June anyway and they make discounts to those making reservations in advance. We had agreed booking the whole youth hpstel with 60 beds. Maybe we could agree on booking at least 12 bungalows = 60 people. Also, we could offer a very attractive discount to participants registering very soon (say the first 15 days of online registration) and booking accommodation in the GNOME Village. We would deal with the accommodation of these early birds since the more bungalows we rent, a better discount we will get and the success of the GNOME Village will be more consolidated. After the 15 days we will offer this minor discount to those dealing directly with the camping mentioning "guadec", and something similar would happen with the recommended hotels if we get deals with them. > Just give people options, put it on a website, and let them do it > themselves. You are right. Apart from this one-time early reservation we should not put our hands in mass booking. -- Quim Gil - http://desdeamericaconamor.org
