However, the train won't be much more than the price you quote -- maybe £50 return if booked in advance, to give a round number -- and is *much* quicker and more comfortable. I agree with Moray about the speed and comfort but if you really do want to go by coach another company to try is www.megabus.com. If you are lucky and price is more important you can get very cheap fares with them but you can only buy tickets about a month in advance.

I guess 'and so on' should include the consideration of commissioning the font developer that karora mentioned to develop a Debian font for the logo and other useful use under a DFSG free font license. Initially the letters dDebiıanconf covers Debian and Debconf. Someone capable doing it for free or as part of an academic project would be preferable but I don't know if that is possible.

[Debconf-discuss] arrving at Banja Luka bus or train station
Afaiu it is not possible, or at least very difficult to get Bosnian currency outside the country. If people arrive at Banja Luka bus station or train station is it possible to get currency there? Or is it possible to pay for the bus or taxi with Euros or other currency?

[Debconf-discuss] arriving on 23rd or 24th?
Hi, Before I fill in the arrival/departure dates for sure, I'd like to confirm something. This appears different from previous years, but is the sponsored food and accomodation definitely only starting on Debian Day 24th July i.e. anyone arriving on 23rd July will need to pay full price for that night's accomodation? In that case, since I would arrive late in the evening anyway, I might spend the night in Zagreb and then try to join the morning arrivals at the train station.

The 2 of use should be fine on the 03:15 bus to Zagreb if there is no other option but that will be no good for the people going to the airport.
