Scouted dormitory, pictures and videos here[1], could use some editing/putting together. Disadvantage, they do the catering and we would have to negotiate something to be able to sell our beer. Reserved dormitory for Monday and Tuesday, final details to be polished next week. I'll either confirm it and tell them details or cancel it. On Monday I have a meeting with the dean of faculty to discuss everything. What is needed to discuss is price for the weekend at university (for LinuxDays conference, RedHat is putting in 1000 EUR). There was also the option that they'll let us stay at university and move their courses to the dormitory - more freedom and less work for us or that they'll manage to give us discount for dormitory. So currently it looks like it will work, unless we will hit some other major issue. Final price depends on Monday. I believe that without any discounts and if we would pay for whole LinuxDays (which we are not going to do), based on current estimates, total price will be less than 200k CZK ~ 8k EUR. Will get lower based on RedHat and depending on what rooms we will need.
Bad news, I'm ill and looks like I'm not going to make it to the meeting with dean. Even if I would make it, I can't really speak. So either I reschedule meeting (which means more delay :-( ) or somebody from Prague would have to step in and go instead of me (I'll fill him with what I wanted to discuss). Any volunteer? Meeting is at 1pm at Dejvice. You can catch me on jabber - same as my e-mail.
Pavol, any chance you can go? Or anyone else at the team??? We really need this...
Well, it was last Monday, next week I should be able to go wherever I need. Started discussing stuff with dean directly on the mail in the meantime. Prices seems to hold, pushing him to prepare some kind of official contract for University part. He also suggested some alternatives for dormitory. I think we already checked them, but let's see if he will be able to came up with something more doable.
Thanks...
Dormitory should be plan easy as they have official price list that is signed by University and mostly non-negotiable if I understood correctly (but trying something regarding it anyway). So for dormitory, it's just up to us to tell them what rooms we will take and pay up and discuss the catering, which might be a little problem with our own beer, but hopefully not huge one.
We'll figure that out. Any chance we stay in the Uni and they move their people to the dormitory? That'd be even better...
So so far, my original estimate holds and we are on way to have official contract. Who can sign it on behalf of us? Is it only Michael/Alan? That would mean that we need English contract, right? Or should I try to discuss it with Alena and ask her to sign? Or can I sign it on behalf of us?
I think Alena can sign too, but Alan knows for sure.
