[Qgis-developer] HackFest in Lyon

[Vincent Picavet]

Hi Tim,

It's a classroom, so we should be able to arrange tables just as we want. The 
classroom has got 60 seats, so it should be easy if we are 40 to create 
workgroups inside the room.

> - is there a data projector available for ad hoc presentations?
There should be one, and we'll provide a backup one.

> - can we stay late in the venue
We can stay up to 22h in the venue, maybe 23h, except on monday (18h).

> - is it (very) close to cheap accommodation
It's not in Lyon downtown, but a few bus/metro stops away. I did not check 
accomodation yet, but we should find cheap accomodation less than 30mins away 
(max).

> - does it have plenty of power outlets
We'll try to provide that.

> - is there good wireless network access available
It's a university (of medicine), so the network should be good. We'll provide 
at least another wifi access point as backup, and check that we can connect 
with cables too.

> - can we snack and drink coffee in the venue
We can't normally drink or eat inside the classroom, but we'll have a hall 
available for pauses, dedicated to that.

Even for 5 days then :)
This place seems to be satisfying all criterias. I've got one other lead I 
want to have news about, and if the latter does not work, we'll go for 
Rockfeller street ( that's the street where the medecine university is :)

Regards,
Vincent
