Y::E accomodation
we were just talking on IRC and the subject of accomodation for YAPC::Europe came up again, it was previously discussed that a hotel in amsterdam would be better, for a few reasons, including going out in the evening, partners having something to do during the day, etc. now all we need is a volunteer to arrange and organise us all, someone who knows amsterdam so well they might form Amsterdam.pm .. -- Greg McCarroll http://www.mccarroll.uklinux.net

Or is it a free for all? there are no plans, and i'd rather not do this for several good reasons. however i've had a look over amsterdamn hotels, and the best option that will keep everyone happy appears to be going for a reasonable 3* or 4* hotel, that does tripple or quad rooms for people if they want to save a bit of cash the 2* hotels look a little grim and the better 4* hotels are pricey the sort of questions that whoever organises this needs to know is ... Who is going? and if you are going . What sort of room do you want? i.e. single double don't mind sharing with another don't mind sharing with 3 don't mind sharing with 4 What are you willing to pay per night? What do you require from the room? i.e. minibar safe TV shower bath jacuzzi What do you require from the hotel? i.e. bar pool gym if we get this , then someone that knows amsterdam can do the leg work -- Greg McCarroll http://www.mccarroll.uklinux.net

Re: Y::E accomodation
dunno if this is useful .. but if possible, try and avoid hotels that are only prepared to take bookings for 1 hour slots. Indeed. I will probably use my usual hotel in Amsterdam as it is nice, quiet, 15 mins from the centre by Tram and (my favorite bit) - every room has a Jaccuzi[1]. Red [1] Which will only fit two.
