As I understood the hotel website, a twin room (seperate beds) costs as much as a single room using the 3-night-package? If so, anybody willing to share a twin room with me (non-snorring preferred ;)) from Friday to Monday (Sunday would work, too, probably; just leave earlier)? That would cut the cost to some awesome 35 €/night. Regards, Wolfram

Yes, in France all hotel prices are per room. The hotel confirmed to me that all their rooms either have a bed for two or twin beds. So sharing a room is definitely possible, and not just for the 3-night-package. -- Francois Gouget <fgouget(a)free.fr> http://fgouget.free.fr/ "Only wimps use tape backup: _real_ men just upload their important stuff on ftp, and let the rest of the world mirror it ;)" -- Linus Torvalds

Thanks for the additional info. I just booked a twin-room and will hope for a companion. I added "looking-for"-table to the WineConf-wiki-page, feel free to remove it if you think it is not appropriate. Regards, Wolfram
for a companion. I added "looking-for"-table to the WineConf-wiki-page, feel free to remove it if you think it is not appropriate.
Now that it has been removed, I feel the urge to know why it is not considered appropriate? It could help people save some bucks before hitting the "Book your room" button without knowing their options? Regards, Wolfram
Hi, 99% of the people who will attend will see the request to share a room on this list. I would guess that's why its been removed. Cheers, Tom On Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 10:08 PM, Wolfram Sang <wolfram(a)the-dreams.de>wrote:

It seems relevant to me, it does have to do with WineConf... I would add it back, until someone explained *why* it doesn't belong here. :) Tom On Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 10:27 PM, Wolfram Sang <wolfram(a)the-dreams.de>wrote:

Checked that before, of course. "Doesn't belong here" didn't help me understanding, though :)

Well, I do like ping-pong as a sport but not in wikis/development/etc. The correct approach should be a) sort out what to do; b) do it. No? ;) Regards, Wolfram

The mailing list is fine for this anyway, so best let it be as is. - Dan

I have removed it because the WineConf wiki page is supposed to contain the official information about the event, not some private or personal one. -- Dmitry.

Dmitry, I'm afraid I have to disagree sharply. I don't see any reason that the Wiki page should be formal. I find it nice when people post their personal information; their arrival times and cell phones and so on. Information about a hotel room bed available strikes me as just the sort of info that is useful. Obviously, at this point, I don't know that it matters, but I would appreciate it if you would treat this as an *informal* page from this point forward. There is a reason we call it the Wine *party* fund...

Perhaps I'm paranoid, but names associated with e-mail/street addresses, phone numbers, room numbers, amount of money paid, arrival/departure dates, etc. are the personal data most people would prefer to share *only* with their friends/ relatives and nobody else. -- Dmitry.
