Yes, I am: I've sent out various queries, and am waiting on responses now. > *grin*). However, one of the new sponsors wants to organise/pay > for a party. Maybe we can mesh the two together if we're lucky. Indeed: if not we'll just have a cash bar, but it would be great to have a sponsor organise some food/drinks during the ceilidh. It's getting short notice for bands, so I think we should be ready to be flexible and move from the Thursday to the Wednesday or Friday if necessary -- hopefully matters should be clearer in a day or two. > Day trip > ======== > The day trip is looking unlikely.

For those who haven't been watching this discussion: we'd still have a day of tourism stuff, just not of the form "DebConf pays for everyone to go somewhere on coaches". The current best idea seems to be to have a couple of options during the day, possibly including one (e.g. Edinburgh Castle) that people would pay for themselves, but there are plenty of free museums/galleries/parks etc. in Edinburgh to keep people busy. I'm wondering about intentionally leaving finalising the options late until we have a better guess at what the weather might be like. > Moray says he is organising local travel / tourist leaflets.
