Alternatively, we are looking at the city hostel. They have enough space

​Thanks for the update. Just bear in mind that we would like to hold the
user conference part too (which may attract up to 150 people). Are your
suggestions above specifically for the code fest part of the programme?

If the monastry sleeps 26 people, is there cheap nearby accommodation that
the overflow participants can stay at?

So for the user conference part (overlapping with SIG conference venue etc)
we should expect ~150 people
For the hackfest part we should expect 40 - 50 people I think

Others in CC may be able to give a better idea of numbers...

Regards

Tim​
