So what's the back up plan wrt venue? Should I try to get a quote from the Thon EU hotel for one of their smaller rooms?
-
daniel
Or are we doing this more grass-roots trying to meet in a cafe or bar or something

I was asking for that, but haven got a response

daniel
Asking who?

daniel
I imagine that any negotiations with the hotel will take a couple of days so if we want to get that going we shouldn't wait too much longer
-
daniel
Plus I think it will be really really expensive so board will have to decide on the finances
-
daniel
The Thon city center has rooms that are slightly smaller. So maybe an option to save some money
-
daniel
Plus the normal (sleeping) rooms are slightly cheaper in that one too so that might be applicable to the conference rooms too
-
daniel
And since none of the current participants are actually staying at the Thon EU I guess there is no reason to pick that particular hotel

I am so new to all this, I could only offer guided support maybe ralphm should better do it but I follow Daniels think and it sounds reasonable

daniel, if you're volunteering, I think getting a quote from Thon (and confirming current availability) for N..2N attendees seems like a sensible thing to do at this point

I think a dedicated quiet meeting space (e.g. with whiteboard) would be preferable to a cafe/bar/etc.

> I think a dedicated quiet meeting space (e.g. with whiteboard) would be preferable to a cafe/bar/etc. Obviously. I'm just worried about the financial aspect of it. I'll reach out to the Thon City center(!) for a quote

daniel
Assuming that it's billed / blocked hourly does 10-18 sound reasonable?
-
MattJ
Yep, that sounds reasonable

to me yes, but I am not a hacker working night shift

> to me yes, but I am not a hacker working night shift I am. In general I think it would be nice to have _the option_ for staying a bit longer writing some code. A place to come back to after dinner. *but* I'm worried it will just unnecessarily make it way more expensive

I see
