I think Marga mentioned in the last IRC meeting that we have a budget of 1000EUR for the daytrip, that is maybe 3-4EUR per person. I think that rules out every option with an entrance fee, unless the participants are willing to chip in. Also if we want to have a common lunch break with all participants, maybe we should first find a place for the lunch break where we can have a picknick with 400 people, and which is somewhat central to the different excursion options. Otherwise the time available for the further away excursions could be very short. And I still think the museums (Speyer, Airplanes) are nice, but maybe half a day is too short, especially if people have to pay the fee out of their own pocket. Is there a fee for the caves/Felsenmeer? A boat tour with some castle hike would be nice (and groups swap with castle first and boat back after lunch), but the entrance and boat fee rules this out, unless there is a significant increase in the budget for this. On the registration page I was asked if I wanted to donate to debconf (and the money will be collected by the youth hostel, so they write the receipts for debian donations?). Maybe an opportunity to donate can be offereed later, after the sponsoring decision has been made or at even debconf. With this we might cover the budget for a nice excursion (ie 15EUR for a boat trip plus whatever the castle costs). Or would this not be tax deductable since my own excursion would be payed by this?
