Hi, - I'm very confused by what I find at > <https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf13/Pricing>. I understood that > there was very strong opposition to filling the largest rooms to their > nominal capacity; but this chart shows all rooms with 8 or more beds > being filled to capacity. And looking at > <https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf13/Pricing/Compromise>, I see it > redirects back to <https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf13/Pricing>... > and that the last version of /Compromise matches. So I'm concerned that > this page doesn't actually represent a shared understanding of how the > rooms will be allocated. Could someone please either confirm that we > *are* planning to fill these large rooms, or else fix /Pricing to > reflect > the actual plan? > > I think, the plan was not to fill the big rooms completely, which is only category sleeping_bag_big.
> Given these numbers, I think the right thing to do > is to fill these reserved rooms with sponsored attendees at no extra charge > I don't agree with this idea as it is very unfair to: a) those who answered the question sincerely but would also prefer a smaller room b) those who registered for the 8-bed rooms, paying themselves. I'd prefer to continue the upgrade for CHF20/day approach and drop the fee for those who can't afford it on a case-by-case basis. In particular, I think it is *not* reasonable to leave small rooms empty > while sponsored attendees are crammed into the sleeping bag rooms simply > because the budget calls for bringing more income from sponsored attendees. > I prefer to give those away on-site, if there are still available rooms. But I think this should be decided by the registration/frontdesk team. Philipp
