Yes, here's enough information about the discount so that people can use it. A more proper announcement, as well as stuff on the website about it, is still pending. The discount is available for most SkyTeam airlines, and it's their SkyTeam Global Meetings program. It applies to travel to and from the Managua airport (MGA) for the purpose of attending DebConf12 from June 27 to July 20. Here's the text provided by SkyTeam about it: "The airlines of SkyTeam, Official Alliance Network for our event, offer attractive airfares for participants. SKYTEAM comprises 15 leading international airlines: Aeroflot, Aeromexico, Air Europa, Air France, Alitalia, China Airlines, China Eastern, China Southern, CSA Czech Airlines, Delta, Kenya Airways, KLM, Korean Air, Tarom and Vietnam Airlines serving more than 900 destinations in 173 countries with more than 14,500 flights daily. To benefit from these special offers, visit www.skyteam.com/GlobalMeetings and enter your Event ID. Through SkyTeam.com, you can also access the schedules of all SkyTeam partners to plan your flights on the airline of your choice." DebConf12's Event ID is 2254S. Let me know if you have any issues! - Jimmy Kaplowitz ji...@debian.org _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
