That's what I think as well. So orpbably this is some room costs and at 
least one or two persons for three days.

I don't know if pointing to woman directly is CoC, but I promise for 
the future not to point to that always.
(With Tobis "CoC-Buzzer" we'll have the perfect solution for this ;-) )

Yes, that's what I think, must be an "extra".
If that is really easy via Bonn Tourismus it miught not cause big 
efforts on our side.

Maybe it's a part of the "Event Manager" Martin? I guess he will come 
on wednesday to FOSSGIS Stammtisch.
