Hi! As part of the Argentinian would-be local team, I'm announcing our proposal for DebConf8.
The information regarding Argentina's local-team and Visa issues is at: http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/Argentina We are currently proposing two different locations, that are quite different, but share some aspects. The main common thing is that the conference would be held inside one single hotel, and that the price per person for food+lodging is less than U$S 30. * The city of Mar del Plata: http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/Argentina/Mar_del_Plata It's a touristic sea-shore city. In this case the hotel would be located in the middle of the city. To get to this location you'd need to either take a 5 hour bus, or go through Buenos Aires to switch airports. (See the wiki page for a lot more info) * The city of Mendoza: http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/Argentina/Mendoza It's the 4th biggest city in Argentina, located near the Andes. In this case the hotel would be 8km away from the city. To get to this location you can fly to Santiago de Chile and take a very short flight from there, or fly to Buenos Aires, and take a plane that leaves from the International Airport. (See the wiki page for a lot more info). So, we are presenting these two options because they are both good, but both have their pros and cons, and we'd rather the whole debconf-team decided which is the most suitable for holding a DebConf. The info in the wiki page is not yet complete. We will be filling up the rest of the info as soon as possible. -- Besos, Marga _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
