Good, I'm sure many people will greatly appreciate the extra three hacking hours :) > It is far from the main residence, but the town hall is willing to pay > buses (worth ~5000 euros).

I don't recall if this was mentioned during the meeting, but what about _food_? Will we be able to serve food at the new venue? I'd hope so, as otherwise it would imply quite a long time to go downtown and back at least at lunch and dinner time... Also, regarding the buses: I understand the people at the Junta are offering the bus service as a "we're truly sorry" sign for not keeping the promised venue... But I'm sure there can be a better arrangement than having buses going back and forth with one or two hackers sitting... Yes, at some hours that would make sense (i.e. every 30 minutes between 10:00 and 13:00 or so, judging on earlier years' wake-up times), but demand during the afternoon/evening will be quite low. And at night, well, some buses will be probably used, but many people will want to walk back (I expect it not to be _that_ hot anymore by 23:00!) or to go elsewhere in Cáceres for some $(( drink + tapas)).
