I don't think we should pay all of the expenses of all people. Many people did not ask for refund in Denmark (only 13 out of approx. 45-50). I would not expect that to be different in Gran Canaria. Regarding our travel expenses I would suggest to cap these expenses at a total of 7.5 or 10k max (PSC should decide).

OK great, +1 from me.

I guess some will stay shorter, some will stay in a more expensive room etc. It seems reasonable to me (though not as cheap as e.g. Linux Hotel), but I am wondering how much we will need to budget when flights are also taken into account and if we can afford it….? Pablo are there any potential local sponsors that might be able to support the HF in some way? We can put out a fund raising call on twitter etc too to try to stimulate more donations for the HF.

However, we are managing to block as many as rooms as possible in two nearby hotels: Hotel Parque and Hotel Iberia (20 mints walk to the HF room). For them we have some discount at the university. We need some extra time to confirm this. Fortunately Las Palmas is a small city and our hotel network over the city is good, and easy going transportation along the city.
