to me.

OK. Frustration vented somewhat, but seriously. Ccing list admins to
reconsider the settings. Or perhaps you are receiving tons of spam
otherwise?
Honestly - I have no idea/recollection about the spam (since apparently
it's going to a black hole of doom now and not being held for
moderation, hard to say :D) levels historically, and I didn't set up the
mailing list originally. Paul - I know a while back you were looking at
some of the lists with heavy-spam-patterns, was this one of the lists in
question?
That said, if it's anything like the other lists I am on that have
moderation for non-members, yeah, there's potentially a crapton of
spam. This list does have mails from
fedoraproject.org whitelisted
(with some explicit spammy addresses blacklisted, like postmaster, etc),
and I just added
redhat.com mails as well, since we can probably expect
that there are some redhat folks who may inquire about fudcons.
Let's see what Paul has to say about if this was one of the lists that
got mega-spam.

Right, so Tomas used his impeccable French to write them an email and
ask about this "small" issue. After few back-and-forths the end result
is that we can:
1. Go to hotel booking site [1] (as linked before)
2. Set arrvial/departure dates etc
3. Choose number of rooms/people you are booking for. Obviously works
best if you fill the rooms (i.e. you will have X number of rooms with
2 people inside. In any case you don't fill in the names or anything
like that anyway.
4. Several options pop up. I didn't play around, but there was one
option that came to the 81euros/night as was suggested on the wiki
5. When finalizing the booking you will be required to put in your
credit card number and expiration date. Apparently they don't charge
the card until you check-in. It's just for verification purposes.
6. There is a comment field, so put "Fedora Group" in there.
Rest of the booking process should be fairly straightforward. At least I
*hope* the reservation went well. I received a verification number,
perhaps someone could then verify it went to the Fedora Group :-)
