Ok so my two cents. Dorm lounges don't have a lot of capacity, so they probably shouldn't be relied on as a late night option during DebConf. They would probably be an option during DebCamp. I'm wondering if we want to consider further restricting the 8am-1am hours during DebCamp, to make the DebConf hacklab 24 hours. We'd need to shift 5 hours so that would make the DebCamp hacklab hours 8am-8pm. Hmm.. maybe shift three hours, and pay the extra $275 x 2 = $550. That way for $550 we could have the DebConf hacklab be open 24 hours and, and DebCamp be open from 8am-11pm.
