[OSGeo-Conf] My Prague proposal questions

[Jachym Cepicky]

Hi,
I was in Lausanne - yes, the overall feeling would be similar. With the 
exception, that there are pubs in the area of CULS (no need to travel to 
the city center, if you do not want to and if you feel, Prague is 
boring), and you do not have to hurry to the last underground (I 
remember this very well) - public transport works all night (not so 
often, but you can rely on it).
