Dear Dave,

Apart from the ones coming from Baris, I'm planning to compile a list of 
hotels around the conference center by this weekend.

For those in a real hurry situation: you can always email me/Baris/.. 
for lodging recommendations.

PS: I've just finished up with a technical workshop organization in 
Antalya, in a splendid hotel next to sea and historical places. If you 
think that there are interested GNOME'ers before/after GUADEC 2008 to 
extend their vacation, I can reserve beds in a 5-star hotel (all 
inclusive, i.e unlimited drinks, eating, sauna, hotel facilities etc) 
priced as low as ~ 50 Euros per day. Flight time between Antalya and 
Istanbul is 50 mins btw.

PS2: Apart from that, is it possible to organize a wiki page on GUADEC 
2008 web for "things to see/eat/do" type of a page? Similarly, a 
web-TODO list would be great so local GUADEC 2008 supporters can choose 
what to do from.

PS3: I'll be in Lyon -> Marseille -> Cannes between 17-24 May, just in 
case someone would like to meet with a local Linux person and get 
eating/lodging/travelling recommendations during GUADEC 2008 for just 
the price of a beer!

Best
Gorkem
