Dear all,

It seems this thread has been going on outside of the mailing list.
Carnë informed today on IRC that "everything is booked[at CERN] for
the end of March but nothing else has been done".

It seems we need to move fast.

@Sebastian or @JordiGH: Would it be possible to get a checklist from
you, describing the organizational steps you took?
(or anybody else with experience in organizing OctConf or similar meeting)

I am a simple guy, I would be worried of getting access to food,
internet and then giving some guidelines on where to stay and how to
get to the venue. Maybe I am missing something important.

Thanks
