After talking last Friday with the camping and considering everything said in this list: - The registration includes the possibility to book accommodation in the GNOME Village until April 23rd. After this date people wanting to join the GNOME Village will need to deal directly with Vilanova Park. They will get a discount as GUADEC participants, but nobody guarantees the availability of bungalows after this date (probably the better ones will be fully booked soon, remaining for some weeks more the not so cool). - This book accommodation integrated in the registration is for individuals sharing a bungalow between 4 people or groups getting whole bungalows, during 8 nights,from June 23rd to July 1st. People wanting other combinations, days or alternative accommodation elsewhere will need to find themselves through the accommodation info page to be published. - Only GNOME Foundation members will have the chance to book accommodation and pay on-site, and still we recommend this option as a last resort. The rest of participants will need to pay in advance. - Vilanova Park has blocked the reservation of bungalows for about 500 people until April 24th, waiting for our group reservation. They expect from us a list of bungalows with names and the payment of a reservation of 30%-50% of the total. They want to have someone speaking on behalf the group (myself + 1/2 more people during the GUADEC days). They also ask for a contact in every bungalow, as they do with their regular clients. - Vilanova Park will deal directly with the participants about any requests and with new bookings, as they do with all the clients. - The discount we have got from the official prices are: counting 7 nights instead of 8 and applying a 20% discount. They also provide for free 2-3 bungalows (depending of the final size of the group) "for the organization staff". For the GUADEC committee this means that we are saving about 2.000€ for these 3 bungalows. - About the people that will have the accommodation paid by the commitee, we are going to give a 176€ token to each. This covers the accommodation in a 850 bungalow shared between 4 people. Anybody with different needs will book whatever they need, paying the difference from their pocket. A real example. A staff member gets his 176€ token, but he wants to book a whole bungalow since he will come with his partner and son. Then he will pay for a whole bungalow (from 484€ to 783€, his choice) and in Vilanova he will get 176€ back. This way everybody gets the same accommodation sponsorship from the GUADEC committee, having each the flexibility to find the solution that suits him/her best. Finally, we are also allowing the participants to book optionally breakfast in Vilanova Park (only until April 23rd) and/or lunch in the university cafeteria. -- Quim Gil /// http://desdeamericaconamor.org | http://guadec.org
