My contribution 0,02 cents: http://www.amazon.de/Brita-Optimax-Filter-Fridge-Counter/dp/B00FZN8N42/ Buy Large filters that cost cheaper than rent (70 ~ 100 vs 150). Then we can give. A turnover of volunteers or people can get by switching to refuel. 2015-07-19 18:02 GMT-03:00 martin f krafft :

Re: [Debconf-team] Drinking water in HD

It's the most normal thing for me since ever to carry a half-liter plastic bottle with me and refill it with tap water. I did that in Romania, Italy, France and Banja Luka. Do we have a "what to bring" page? How about: * water bottle: The tap water in the youth hostel and in general in Germany
