Out of curiosity, what do you understand for a family here? I have
discovered recently that the definition of a family varies widely
and for some, the concept of family must include children.
For others, like me, 2 persons who share their live together are
already a family.
In previous years, DebConf welcomed families (as in 2 persons) without
problems, if this year you are not going to guarantee lodging for developers
taking family members until later, this should be clear in registration
to avoid people making plans in this regard.
Hello Ana,
I think that "families" in this context means: "developers with
accompanying person(s)" (where "accompanying" not in "developer").
There was a heated discussion about what to answer in the previous mail:
should we privilege developers on the limited number of small rooms, or
should we be inclusive?
As background: since months there are big discussions about the big
rooms: Much worries that many developers will not attend DebConf if the
only option is a big room.
Returning to the real case: the questioner had an alternate sleeping
option, so the discussion ended slightly in favor of the first view of
DebConf (privilege the developers).
But we are in the -team mailing list, so other opinions and arguments in
favor of one option or the other one are welcome. Maybe we missed some
important arguments.
In other words: do you (= -team readers) think that most of the
developers want small rooms? Should we privilege the number of developers?
My opinion: I'm more in the inclusive part. We talked in past also about
a possible "kindergarten". Additionally I don't think we will have an a
lot big DebConf (compared the previous years). OTOH I would not bet on
the preferences of contributors about small/big rooms.
ciao
