Good enough may not be sufficient to continue to grow the event in coming years, if that is what we want to do. It only takes one sidestep and we have to start from scratch.
Anyway, we'll see how it works out. At this point we do not have any alternatives anyway.

Heya all,
Went with Theo and Michal to the KC place today. See the video below for an
impression:

Thanks for posting this. The place certainly looks nice but....
The place is big enough for about 200-250 people.
which is my main concern. I am not certain how many people we actually had last year, but it appears to me that the space will be tight, maybe too tight.
The main hall is very nice
and cozy and bigger than what we had at the location until 2010 so it should
be OK to hang out there. The little cafetaria is OK for drinks and snacks but
we do need more for lunches (they can help with handing stuff out and we can
put our beer there as well).
In 2 min walking distance is a small shopping area with a LIDL and a
restaurant. ~10 min walking away is the dormitory, with about 150 low-priced
hotel rooms. We could reserve them all - it should cover most of our visitors.
The metro is about 15 min walking or one bus stop - there are plenty of busses
going. The metro station is however not very close to the center - it's about
30 minutes from Mustek (city center).
I understand we are not allowed to hang up posters so we can't really brand
the place green :(
My impression of the rooms: enough. Not big, not many - but good enough.
Good enough may not be sufficient to continue to grow the event in coming years, if that is what we want to do. It only takes one sidestep and we have to start from scratch.
Anyway, we'll see how it works out. At this point we do not have any alternatives anyway.
Later,
Robert
