Friday 2nd I can't attend. Monday 5th is OK. Wednesday 31th as proposed by Gunnar is OK for me as well. I think in addition to the chairs (or at least 2 chairs) it's also important that at least 3 persons highly involed locally are present. If this is the case I fine with a date where I can't attend personally. > > And as we want this meeting to come to a final decision we thought that the > only hard requirement would be that (at least) all DebConf chairs were > present. > > (We are the people from the Le Camp BSP here.) > > But maybe this is too much hurry and too much focusing on the chairs to break > decision ties, instead of doing this a tiny bit more slowly and just "using > the chairs" to make sure, we decide RSN.

This is only partially a comment on the above, but also a reaction to things that were said in other replies to this thread: We really should not stop or delay any sponsorship activity until anything is decided. To make initial contacts with sponsors the exact venue does not really matter much. I have started to contact quite some people since the brochure is finally ready. So please go on with this!
