Hi,
I was made aware that some people need prices for professional attendees now
but can't find them, guess because we don't have them yet. Some companies
need them earlier as others, so we should come up with them asap.

Hi,
so we had a long thread how to deal with DebConf/Debian money handled at ffis
e.V., whether we make it a Debian account with DebConf people access rights,
or a DebConf one with Debian people having access rights.
So here is what I propose, which is actually what Richard proposed:

As an additional point, the recently delegated DebConf chairs are
looking for one or two people from outside those currently most
involved in DebConf organisation to help out if we can't get a
DebConf12 venue decision by consensus. (We prefer consensus, but if
there's a need to break a tie, we'd l

Hi DC11 local team,
Did you succeed in getting some better prices for the hotels, as you

It would also be helpful to post here some more details about the

they're about 1.5 km away from the planned main
Just an additional reminder to the DebConf12 bid teams in preparation
