Venue

• hosting conferences like the SIGINT and PyCon, used to provide what geeks need to be happy ;) SIGINT also seems to be very happy about the venue and the organizers there.
• in the middle of cologne, easy to reach from the airport and central train station
• Prices: File:Debconf15 komed.pdf - we'll get a special offer for booking rooms for several days and so on. I have a longer list of suggested rooms and daily 'Pauschalen'.
• Depending on the number and size of rooms we need, not all of them will be in the same building, but all buildings are at the same location with a nice lake and a bit of nature. - http://www.komed.de/fotogalerie.40.html
• wifi available, either using their upstream or what we like
• various hotels close (incl. a new motel one) to the conference location, also several youth hostels

TODO

• availability of rooms 24/7

In building 6 after 10pm: only silent stuff. Building 7: whatever we want. Otherwise: 24/7. Used to that from sigint and pycon ;)

• where do people sleep / which hotels and how far?

Two hotels very close to the komed (<= 500m): NH + azimuth.

• NH hotel too expensive
• other hotel close by (500m): http://de.azimuthotels.com/azimut_hotel_cologne_city_center/contacts
• several small-ish hotels around the venue, nothing that looks too promising, though.
• youth hostel http://pathpoint-cologne.jugendherberge.de 1.2km away fro the venue, 161 beds
