Realistically, do you want me to start a discussion on the dev list? Or  
email those who will attend?

Unfortunately, we have to arrange this in advance.

I suppose but I don't know that hotel and its infrastructure.

Most likely. But these places will be of limited use because of lack of  
electricity and good wifi.

Noted. I think at most we would get Tuesday and Thursday (maybe Friday)  
because OSGeo covers Monday evening and Wednesday evening we'll have  
dinner in the city center.

On Monday, Stephan will organize catering at the venue. On Wednesday there  
will be a restaurant reservation. I guess one day will be pizza day. In  
general, there is a big supermarket in the neighboring building where we  
can buy all kinds of snacks and convenience food.

@Tim: So you would want to spend some money so that we can stay longer?

Don't worry, after taxes and the bosses' share, it's not very glorious.

Thanks for your input so far!

Best wishes,
