As the conditions regarding our lodging vary strongly from year to year, I am not sure how much we should rely on previous years' information... I suggest we should start by accepting for sponsored accomodation all couples who pledge to do some DebConf work as volunteers (even if they are not Debian-related in other ways). And yes, volunteering is a very subjective and hard to measure amount of effort, but I'd put it as a minimum acceptable line. Of course, whoever wants to attend paying their expenses, go ahead. And of course, if the govt says they will sponsor everybody staying at the hotel for DebConf, great. But I think this is a good baseline for accompanying people. _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
