Umh... I did some quick asking at #debconf-team. The reality is, we don't have a clear answer for you. *My* (and please, stress on it being *me*, as others have said otherwise) feeling is that, to have a proper family comfort setting (i.e. a private bathroom), you will be much better off if you are hosted at a Vaumarcus studio. I don't know how would the cost difference be. But my main issue WRT hosting families is that... We don't yet know how full will DebConf be, or how Debian people will be distributed. Keep in mind we have relatively few such rooms - And, of course, we should try to prioritize filling those rooms with Debian people who are concerned about not getting their base level of comfort to sleep well during a week of hard work. So, we don't know yet how full will Le Camp be during DebConf, and we also don't know how full will that "room category" be. It might turn out that we end up with enough room to host you and your family - but that's not yet something we can take for granted. In short, if I were you, I'd look into the Vaumarcus studio options. Of course, others are welcome to comment, and to dissent with me. And you as well, of course. _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
