Location voting in progress: more information needed

[Frederic Muller <fredm gnome org>]

Dear Indonesian and Indian team,

note: I'm writing an email which just represents my feelings and put the 
comments in a mixed bag. They might not apply to both teams.

In order to be able to vote we would really need more information on:
- Venue: photos of accommodation rooms when included
- Venue: hackfest site photos
- Venue: conference site photos covering conf rooms and free spaces 
where we could have booth
- Ability to acquire sponsors: who have you met so far and what's your 
feelings on raising 60K USD from local companies. be specific to which 
companies you think will vouch for GNOME (and honest of course ;-) )
- Infrastruture: I guess bandwidth/speed data for Internet is important, 
availability of wifi, public transportation, distance from airport, 
distance from and ease of access to 'downtown' matter too.
- Visa: I think someone needs to do some research. My impressions are 
that both HK and Bali give visa on arrival to almost anybody (maybe not 
Chinese?) and for India I am under the impression the process is rather 
cumbersome (requiring to deposit some cash in a specific bank - at least 
in China and even for foreigners). Can you elaborate on those issues, 
confirm or correct my 'claims'?

Thanks a lot for the hard work.

Fred
