Hi, looking into the current bids
[1] https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf15/Bids/Mechelen [2] https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf15/Bids/Germany/Heidelberg [3] https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf15/Bids/Germany/Muenchen [4] https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf15/Bids/Karlskrona the both german ones look most ready ones to me. Also looking into https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf15/Germany/VenueScouting it looks to me that the German team invested a lot of effort in preparing its bits. Heidelberg's Youth Hostel doesn't say anything about wheel chair access in the wiki, but according to the website it has 6 wheel chair accessable sleeping rooms, it states that the restaurant part are wheel chair accessable, no information about the auditorium rooms. Mechelen wiki page does not say anything about wheel chair access, guessing from the picuture it looks like most rooms might be accessable. No information about wheel chair acces in Karlskrona and no easy findable information about that. I personaly like the idea of Heidelberg, to have everything in one place, though the auditorium rooms might be a bit on the small end. Auditorium in Munich looks large enough, several class rooms look like they could be used as hacklabs.

In Heidelberg room Heidelberg 1-3 can be merged to seat 250 persons. http://www.jugendherberge.de/Jugendherbergen/Heidelberg%20International10/Ausstattung > Sponsorship: > ------------------- > It appears that German has (by far) the strongest local pool of > potential sponsors.

Heidelberg has UUGRN which is Unix User Group Rhein Neckar, which we could try to activate for this. Also Darmstadt LUG is very active, Darmstadt is like 40km away. > Network: > ------------- > Munich and Belgium seem adequate. Heidelberg does not. i am quite positive that would could also get reasonable internet access in Heidelberg.
