Hi This is a proposal about how to do the DC13 room planning for the talk rooms, hacklabs and the bar. While the general idea is clear (large talk room, primary hacklab) for other things we have several options. Here is my proposal, which as far as I know is the idea most of the local team members had in mind so far. See below for an alternative.
* Main Talk room Location: Batiment principal, upper floor, north-eastern half Size: 200m2 Capacity: 300 (according to Le camp, if the size is correct, 180 people seems more reasonable), double the size when combined with the dining room * 2nd Talk room Location: Rotonde upper floor Size: 150m2 Capacity: ~120 people * 3rd Talk room not planned yet, do we need one? Possible locations: Batment principal lower floor (35m2), * 1st Hacklab Location: Rotonde lower floor Size: 70m2 Capacity: 50 people * 2nd Hacklab Location: Batiment No. 8 Size: ~75m2 Capacity: 50 people * inofficial hacklabs There are smaller rooms wich can be used as hacklabs or for team meetings in all buildings. Wireless networking will be everywhere. Wired networking will most probably only be available in the "official" hacklabs and talk rooms. These smaller rooms provide space for 10 to 15 persons tipically. * Bar Location: Carré Size: 72m2 Capacity: 50 (seated) Alternative: While we have plenty of outdorr space if the weather is good, the bar will get quite packed if the weather is bad. An alternative would be to have the bar in the upper floor of the Rotonde and to have the second talk room in the Carré. Would 72m2 be enough for the second talk room? If we manage to have a second talk room which is large enough, I would actually prefer to use the upper floor of the Rotonde for the Bar. Another advantage there is that the kitchen would be just behind the bar instead of in the lower floor of the building. Input would be appreciated on the following: - Are the capacity estimates sane wrt the room sizes? [1] - How many talk rooms and "official" hacklabs to we need? Are 2 talk rooms enough, or should we plan with 3 talk rooms? - Planned locations from those that already visited Le Camp. Best, Gaudenz [1] I took the numbers from the document "dc13/accounting/contracts/Le_Camp/Liste des Lits et bâtiments + salle ACTUELLE.pdf" which lists numbers for seated meals as far as I can see. For hacklabs I lowered these numbers a bit (10-20%) because I guess hacking needs a bit more space than eating. -- Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again.
