Regarding that one stay > tuned. Otavio, it seems that if your trip is entire in July, the flight company will charge "extra" because of the "vacation period". I found out on some simulations that you can travel much cheaper if you choose Tuesday/Thursday flights. That way, my current plan is to arrive in the middle of DebCamp (21.JUL.2011) and stay a few extra days after DebConf (02.AUG.2011). And we are traveling Zagreb, I do hope there are transportation for 21.JUL. :-) For going back, we'll have to arrange ourselves, but as I understood there are regular buses from Banja Luka to Zagreb, can somebody from local team confirm if this plan is OK? :) Kind regards, - -- Felipe Augusto van de Wiel (faw) Debian.

Of course it is possible, it's even encouraged. We are strange animals that like being observed and studied ;-) Even more, if you care to share with us (could be via registering a talk describing your work and why is our community important for it), you will surely get many more people to go through it.

[Debconf-team] Extending registration period
Hey everybody, Topic of extending the registration period was brought up on our last meeting. I was the one who brought it up as in following couple of weeks I'll be attending some very important conference in the region and thus when I present the people with idea of DebConf11 in Bosnia I want to avoid situation where I'll say something along the line "you're welcome but only in case if you want to pay as you're not eligible for sponsorship as sponsorships have been closed". Thus I suggest we extend the registration period until 19th which marks the end of the last conference I'm going to. Now, as extending itself isn't much big of a deal, but some have suggested that we also restrict sponsorship to the people who register in this extended period, and that they are only eligible for sponsored accommodating. I see from what kind of background this suggestion is coming, but if we put that aside I still don't think that's fair, what I would suggest is that we set more rigorous criterion for these people who register in extended period or just let them register as everybody had a chance up till now :) Even if we disregard all things that were said in last paragraph, please take this info into your consideration, all the conferences are going to be held in <=500km radius so travel won't be much of a deal, and shouldn't take much funds as all of it will fall on government, as all of them will need accommodation. Opinions and comments are most welcome. Adnan ___ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
