Hi all,

My first reaction reading both proposals is: wow! There are only two of 
them but they are both of very high quality so congrats to both teams! 
Wherever LibOCon goes for 2012, the other one will be a very worthy 
candidate for 2013.

At first glance, Berlin felt like a shoe-in: that's the home of The 
Document Foundation and I love Berlin. But then when reading the 
Zaragoza proposal, I started to change my mind: this is a very well 
thought out proposal and you can tell that they are used to organise 
events like this. So without further ado, here are my questions for the 
two teams:

Questions for Berlin:

 * When will you have final confirmation of the main venue?
 * Will you have agreements with nearby restaurants for lunch and/or
   dinner so that attendees can have a quick reasonably priced meal?
 * Will you have any catering on site (coffee, coffee and maybe coffee)?
 * Does the venue have enough power sockets to enable attendees to
   recharge between events (lots of laptops => lots of flat batteries)?
 * I like the Zaragoza idea of open public lectures: is it something
   you would consider?

Questions for Zaragoza:

 * Will you post a recording of how to say the name of your town so
   that all non-Spaniards can practice it before going?
 * Same as above: Does the venue have enough power sockets to enable
   attendees to recharge between events (lots of laptops => lots of
   flat batteries)?


Cheers,

Bruno
