I just noticed I've forgotten to add this to the wiki, but: Gerry, Juan and myself are all also members of the FOSDEM team and have been for several years (Juan and Gerry actually even longer than me). While FOSDEM isn't DebConf, this is also a large free software conference, and I think this is also relevant experience. From talking to other members of the FOSDEM team, it is clear that some of them might be interested in joining as well should we win the bid, but none have so far helped out. [...] > Belgium needs a food cost estimate Yes, that is indeed our major outstanding issue. I have just done a quick websearch for catering options in the neighbourhood, and have come up with a company "Traiteur Derkinderen". This company's focus is to deliver hot meals to people at home, mostly for retired and needy people, starting at a price of €8 per person per hot meal. They don't actually deliver to Mechelen, but I assume they would be willing to do so for 300 meals, which would be a large customer. I haven't yet contacted them, however.

The three hotels that are part of our bid are within walking distance. One is across the street (less than 10 meters from the venue), the second is across the river (about 50 meters from the venue), the third is two blocks away (200 - 300 meters from the venue). -- This end should point toward the ground if you want to go to space. If it starts pointing toward space you are having a bad problem and you will not go to space today. -- http://xkcd.com/1133/ _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
