Hi everybody,
 
Marga, aj and I will be doing room allocation for Debconf this year.

We'll have accommodation in two backpackers' hostels a few minutes away walking
from Teviot:
- Cowgate Tourist Hotel  
- Budget Backpackers 
You have more info about them in the website [0]

We will have rooms dorms with 4 beds, 6 beds, 8 beds, 10 beds, and even 12 beds.
To distribute the people among the rooms so that it's the most comfortable 
for everyone, we're asking everybody that is going to stay at the sponsored 
allocation to please mail us their room preferences to rooms@debconf.org 

Please state clearly: 
 * Who you would like to share the room with. 
 * Who you would NOT like to share the room with. 
 * Whether would you rather be with people that speak your language or people that don't.
 * Whether would you rather be with people from your country or not.
 * What criteria would be "ok" (people from your own team: d-i, kernel,...)

The idea is to know what is that you prefer to allocate the rooms in the way 
that will make people happier.
 
Some important notes:
- Smoking inside the hostels is NOT allowed
- Couples will not be given private rooms, there is the option to ask to share with others couples. 
- Since we are paying for them, we will try to use the full capacity.
