Hi Stephan,

cc'ing to community list, hoping some locals will chime in to form a
'local' QGIS organizing team to assist you.

@community: somebody want to join Stephan to have a look at the venue?

Your other questions:

- number of participants: I think 20-30 is a better guess now. Brighton
was I think packed because it was just in front of Nottingham. Second I
think this is seen as a rather technical HF.. (? not all too sure of this)

- hotel blocks: well,... QGIS people are comfortable everywhere ;-) No
special requirements then not being expensive

- social activities: as long as there are 'schnitzels' around we are
fine. We had a nice walk around Vienna the last time we were there.

- potential sponsors: not that I'm aware of: Paolo?

- no objections on announcing it anywhere

- brief meeting: sure, let's meet on IRC

@community: please chime in here if you think other answers are better.

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde
