David mentioned in IRC a few days ago some options locally: * Holiday Inn Express. * Motif Hotel * Four Points Sheraton on Westlake Ave N. * Residence Inn by Marriott Seattle Downtown/Lake Union * Hotel Five My employer Arm is paying for my travel and accommodation; I'm booked into the Holiday Inn Express. Jimmy is also booked in there. So far I've had *three* people tell me they're coming and would like Debian to cover (at least some of) their costs: * Jimmy Kaplowitz * Tomasz Rybak * Thomas Lange I'm going to formally ask the DPL for funding for this early next week. If you're planning on coming and need Debian funding, let me know *ASAP* please! I've started putting more details into the wiki page at https://wiki.debian.org/Sprints/2018/DebianCloudOct2018 Please add yourself there if you're coming... -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.
