Dear Curitiba team Thanks for your really good bid page. And thanks for including the pronunciation clip, I had to do a search to find it for Hsinchu :)
Winter temperatures in Curitiba look similar to the temperatures we had in Cape Town. We warned people to bring some warm tops and something comfortable to sleep in since we didn't have central heating at our venue. How is that in Curitiba (and more specifically at the planned accommodation)? Might be worth while to add a note to remind people that it's winter on outgoing communication shortly before DC. The details around Comunidade Curitiba Livre and its history are interesting. Is this also the organisation that you'll be using for handling local DebConf affairs? If so, is it already formally incorporated as a volunteer, for-profit or non-profit organisation? You mention that the academic calendar is sometimes a little unpredictable. How unpredictable is that? When the university locks down dates at the venue, will you be able to trust them? You mention that UTFPR closes doors at 23:00. Are the nearby hotels/hostels walking distance? (at least there's Uber locally which is good if someone gets stuck) If I understand the Power section correctly, you use both 220 volts and 127 volts power in Brazil. What do you use in Curitiba? Is it at least standard city-wide or do some buildings have their own transformers to take it up/down? How far is the Curitiba municipal market from UTFPR? Looking at the cheesemarket photos I can imagine that a large number of people would want to stop by there for their C&W contribution. You mentioned 'close' but does that mean walking distance or short ride? Good luck and thanks for all the work you have put in to the bid so far! -Jonathan _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
