In the schedule it appears as if the code sprint is essentially the<br>
same time and duration as the conference. This is further explained<br>
about having mentoring sessions available.<br>
<br>
Some projects use the code sprint not only to write code but as high<br>
bandwidth face to face interaction about making project decisions.<br>
Finding a time that everyone can meet from a project during the<br>
sessions could be difficult (many of these people will also be<br>
presenting sessions).<br>
<br>
Before eliminating the separate-day code spint, can you poll this<br>
list, <a href="https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/tosprint" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/tosprint</a> ?</blockquote></div></blockquote></div></blockquote><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">This was my direct question which was not answered. That email list is where much of the code sprint coordination occurs. It sounds like the more traditional code sprint may occur on Saturday (the only conference day that the code sprint is not listed in the schedule). Providing a room on Saturday with adequate power outlets, WiFi, and other typical code sprint amenities would certainly be needed if it is happening on Saturday. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Rephrasing my question, before code sprint plans are finalized, can there be some coordination on that email list so that the usual participants are consulated? </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div>I do like your idea to gateway more beginners into learning how to contribute.

Maybe I've misread this, but it seems that the vast majority of the<br>
conference (workshops, sessions) is taking place at the law school.<br>
Is that correct? Is the large venue being used for more than Opening,<br>
Closing, AGM, and Lunch? If the large venue is only being used for<br>
Opening, Closing, AGM, and Lunch, can other venues but explored for<br>
those functions? Does the Law school have any larger spaces? It<br>
seems like a large expense and high risk for minimal use. Maybe I've<br>
misread it.</blockquote></div></blockquote></div></blockquote><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Thanks, I’ve reviewed page 18 and better understand the proposal. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Best regards, Eli</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><br>

Unfortunately you will not have a clear feel for potential attendance until the early bird registration period closes, which can be only a few months before the final date. At some point, the venue will ask for full payment. Do your schedule points for things like early bird line up with your decision points for things like venues?<br>

At the same time, the entry fees seem very low, compared to the general foss4g trend. I see that the A/B and food costs are lower than I would "expect", have those been validated in the marketplace? Generally expensive venues have exclusive catering arrangements with firms that are equally expensive, are you allowed to use your quoted catering in the venues you have chosen?<br>
