Alternatively, how are they supposed to decide to come when they don't know what the prices will be like by the time we say it's OK? I'd imagine that getting a family in motion is hard enough as it is without us saying that there will be an undefined delay between placing the booking and finding out if they'll have somewhere to sleep. I think we need to either decide that families can stay away (or make their plans with no help from us), or that once booked they're booked, even if we'd prefer that someone else had got those beds by the time the conference starts. Cheers, Phil. P.S. My family will _not_ be coming to DC13, so no conflict of interest. -- |)| Philip Hands [+44 (0)20 8530 9560] http://www.hands.com/ |-| HANDS.COM Ltd. http://www.uk.debian.org/ |(| 10 Onslow Gardens, South Woodford, London E18 1NE ENGLAND
