Dear Simon,

I just did a first read of your document and I want to congratulate you and your LOC for such a beautiful proposal.

I see that you consider numbers that I feel are a bit low for attendance (base 550, better 650, best 750). I like that you are conservative and that the budget stays strong with a low number, but I think that we should be prepared for the upper number to be at least 1000, considering the historial data[1]. Is there a reason why 750 is the higher you planned? Because even if it is very far away from me (Spain), I see it is very close to some of the most vibrant communities out there. I know you mention you can expand to more rooms if needed and that you can have a bigger plenary room, I am just curious if I'm missing some reason behind the numbers.

I like the childcare services. As a suggestion: are you also considering offering some tourist package for partners?

Sometimes the codesprint is not of interest for the majority of the audience for several reasons (considered too technical, people are tired at the last day and decide to just do some tourism,...). Do you have any ideas on how to encourage participation?

Cheers!
María.
