[edit] Homework exercises

[edit] Our weak points

  • Munich:
    • Three contractual partners (youth hostel, venue, catering);
    • Venue status still not certain, negotiations are ongoing;
    • 900m walking between youth hostel and venue;
    • Venue not available 24 hours/day, youth hostel not ideal for socialising;
    • Danger of groups splitting off and going to town towards the end of the day;
  • Heidelberg:
    • Venue not too small, but "snug";
    • Network connection looks promising, but not finalised;

[edit] Their strong points

  • Mechelen:
    • Small town flair;
    • Good-looking venue with food and night-life options nearby;
    • Government backing; especially in a small town, this can mean a lot for the quality of the conference;
    • FOSDEM organisers with a lot of conference experience, and probably backing by other (non-Debian) FOSDEM organisers if needed;
    • Belgian chocolate;
    • Some in our team think the availability of Belgian beer is a benefit; some in our team vehemently disagree.
