[Foss4g2011] Group rate for reservations in Sheraton Denver Downtown

[James Sakamoto]

Hi Roald,

Yes, if you book via the FOSS4G web site, you will receive Internet for free.  The FOSS4G committee negotiated a special rate which includes free Internet.  You must book through the FOSS4G website (not directly through the Sheraton site) to receive the room rate and free Internet.

We look forward to seeing you next month!

James

Hi,

I'm looking at booking a room at the Sheraton. When looking at the room 
features, I see: "HIGH-SPEED INTERNET FOR A FEE", but the FOSS4G website 
claims that in-room wireless Internet is available for free [1]. Can I 
safely assume it will be available for free?

Thanks, Roald
