We're also (obviously) working on keeping people as closely grouped as possible, in a city that has a very high number of hotel beds. Having said all that, I think housing is a lower priority than flights. Don't wait for accommodation options to be announced before booking flights.

Well I won't buy plane ticket if I can't afford the hotel and I guess I'm not alone :) ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list

As you can see we're working out options where people will be able to share rooms for as little as €25 per night. For 8 nights, that is indeed a substantial sum. What I meant is, prices of hotels will not get substantially more expensive as the date approaches, whereas prices for flights will. Thus, buying flights is a higher priority than reserving accommodation - meaning it's more urgent.
