Yikes! I have *never* heard of anything like that. I have heard of last minute being asked to pay some small fee for a room use, but this seems so ridiculous!

I recently taught in a really fancy room where the tables had both network and power in them. They were set up in a U shape, so as per usual, the first thing we did was to set them up in rows so that people wouldn´t have to break their necks. We didn´t get power to the tables now, because we couldn´t figure out the cabling, but we didn´t think too much of it. There were no notes or information regarding room configuration or desks or anything anywhere. I just got word from the host that they incurred an extra $3000 charge from the facilities management for costs incurred due to the facilities people having to put the tables together correctly again. I have profusely apologized to the host, so no hard feelings fortunately, but still. It might be wise to not only double but triple check if there might be any issues regarding room configuration. karin _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.software-carpentry.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_lists.software-carpentry.org _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.software-carpentry.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_lists.software-carpentry.org
