Hi According to the initial timeline we planned to open registration Mid March. This has not yet happened at least to some degree because we don't yet have an agreed upon proposal about how to present the accomodation options at Le Camp.
I intend to restart discussions with proposals for each open point in separate mails. The basis for all of this is still the Pricing wiki page [1]. There was also an IRC meeting about most of these things[3]. As far as I understand there is consensus about the following. If you disagree please start a separate list thread with an alternative proposal: - Categories: There was no opposition so far to the accomodation category separation in the pricing wiki page. - Room prices: I increased the prices for the smaller rooms with respect to the initial proposal to those proposed by Giacomo[2]. As I read the list mails and meeting log there was a general agreement about this. - Sponsored accomodation: Sponsored accomodation should get you a room in the "Large sleeping-bag room" or "Medium sleeping-bag room" categories for free. At least together with my proposal to reduce the capacity of the large rooms by 1/3 I consider the quality of all these beds roughly equivalent. - Upgrades because of special needs: There is consensus that upgrades because of special needs should be free. I intend to send separate proposals concerning the following topics. If you agree with them or have alternative proposals, please propose them on-list NOW. * Room capacity limits To what level do we want to fill each of the rooms. There was much discussion about this in the "accomodation and pricing" IRC meeting[3]. * Sponsorship and paying options Which options of sponsored accomodation and food and wich options of paying for accomodation and food do we offer. * Upgrades for sponsored attendees Should upgrades to better rooms for sponsored attendess be allowed or not and if yes under which conditions. I hope that these topic cover everything that needs to be decided. If you find other things that we should decide before being able to open registration, please start discussion about this on the list, preferably with a concrete proposal.
