Thank you Iolanda and Ellie. The assurance that I have a bed is enough to put my mind at rest. I don't envy you the logistics of accommodating hundreds of people in a small town, but at least we'll stand out! Harry

It is not that we are incapable of doing it, but it is because it is easier for us to provide you this information once you arrive. Below you can find out why.iolanda This is the system which works best for us because we have people keeping requesting beds (even after the registration was closed - and i am sure some of you benefitted from our capacity of managing it), people changing their accommodation even 4 days ago or asking for more nights just yesterday; today we were even informed that an husband is coming we did not know about. This is happening all the time with our 738 bed. And on the other side there are all the requests of the around 100 people and hotels providing the beds. When you go to an hotel you are not informed about your room number or floor before your arrival, and if you go to an hostel you don’t have the names of your roommates. The way we are managing the accommodation in Esino Lario is not different. It is all simple shared accommodation and we are happy to do our best to make it the most welcoming. There are no surprises. We are following our plan [1] and Esino Lario is still (as 3 years ago) a remote mountain village of 761 inhabitants. Well, in a week 1761.

If there is no any script able to do it automatically using data from database that it is a lot of work for someone. Or maybe - such database does not exist - and our keys will be given to us somehow randomly :-) We can later call it Italian Roulette :-) If the information is in a google spreadsheet and we're already using google apps for mail, then script for this is somewhat trivial within google docs. (and maybe i could provide some help with this) Cheers,Katie 2016-06-15 22:30 GMT+02:00 Maarten Dammers <[email protected]>: Hi Ellie, Op 14-6-2016 om 21:11 schreef Ellie Young: The team is about to send information out to everyone who has registered for the conference with accommodation package (today). All that information will be there. I received an email with some information, but not where I'm staying exactly and with who. I'm not feeling very comfortable traveling without knowing this information beforehand and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Why are you keeping this secret?
