All

I have updated the list of hotel rooms that we will need for the conference team based on what you said in the doodle and the most up to date planning from Friday's meeting.

Can you have a look at the list and confirm that it is correct or advise any errors. The presumption is that you will be working on the event on the day of the hotel booking or travelling to Nottingham from far away to get an early start the next day.

Please be absolutely certain that you will be there on these nights as we will have to pay for the rooms once we have booked.

I am going to book a Sunday lunch for the whole team - I don't think there will be an OSGeo board meeting on Sunday morning, should we invite any board members who are still in Nottingham to join us for lunch?

Steven,

I'm not sure about the Monday night for me- this is dependent to a certain extent on Mike- so I'll chat to him when I can.

Jo

Antony Scott on July 9, 2013:

Good for me. Off on my hols early Sunday, so lunch in Toulouse for me.

Barend Köbben on July 9, 2013:

OK for me...

Abi Page on July 9, 2013:

I have booked for GeoCom with the accom. included for 16th and 17th

Suchith Anand on July 11, 2013:

Suchith

Steven Feldman on July 11, 2013:

thanks suchith

Jeremy Morley on July 11, 2013:

I'll have a chat with my wife. I may come home on Friday night, particularly if the dog track thing is confirmed as it's on our side of town.

Steven Feldman on July 12, 2013:

THIS IS KIND OF IMPORTANT!!!

If you haven't confirmed back that the hotel bookings ABOVE are correct then I haven't booked a room for you and we will be releasing all rooms on Monday. I don't want us committing to rooms that won't be used.

Matt Walker on July 12, 2013:

I'll be able confirm first thing Monday

Ian Edwards on July 13, 2013:

Happy with the days.
Still uncomfortable being in orchard when all my senior mgmt are in halls.
I would prefer halls, but will do orchard if it's better for our
relationship with CMCC

Ian Holt on July 13, 2013:

I can confirm and am happy with all the dates specified.
Thanks Steven.

Steven Feldman on July 13, 2013:

Thanks Ian

Franz-Josef Behr on July 14, 2013:

I confirm my participation. Please note that I do not have any need for a luxury (i.e. very expensive) room, it should be useful and not too far away.

I can provide support as much as I can starting from Tuesday until end of the conference.
In this case think I'll have to arrive on Monday. i.e. I need a hotel romm startign from Monday night.

@Steven: Can I give support on Tuesday? Then please adjust my accomodation dates above!

Matt Walker on July 14, 2013:

Hi Steven,

I'm going to trim my hotel nights to Mon, Tue, Thu as I'm planning on travelling home for the other night to see the family.

Thanks,

Matt.

@Ian E @F-J
I am under a lot of pressure to fill rooms in the hotel as our hotel bookings are much lower than expected, so i am going to keep you in the hotel for the moment. If we get a late flurry of interest in the hotel then I could move you if you wish.

@f-j
Great to know that you are going to be available to help us with the event. I have booked you in from Tuesday night as there will be only a limited amount we can do during the day on Tuesday (except for the workshops and hackathon people). Wednesday will be a massively busy day with lots of preparation for 7/800 people arriving later in the day or the next morning.
