Looking at the bids one thing stands out to me as lacking. there is no 
concrete hotel plans.  We should have a concrete plan and we shuold have 
talked  to the hotels to have concrete pricing lined up
The closest bid to having complete Lodging info is panama.  but it doesnt look 
to me like they have talked with the options and worked out something definete. 
We want to have all people at the same location so that evening events etc are 
simpler to organise  and people can tak and work on things into the late 
hours. 

It was definetly an issue with the last 2 FUDCon's in LATAM  and something we 
must do better.  so id like to ask all the bid teams to confirm avalabilty of  
a block of rooms. we should assume twin share. this will also help people 
paying for themselves to make sure that everyone is in the one place and that 
everyone gets the most out of the time.
