We really want a single hotel,  What facilities are available for a room for 
having hackfests in in the evening?  will the hotel provide this room for free 
for us?

Please pick a single hotel that we can make appropriate agreements with 
What internet facilities are available at the hotel? Can we walk from the 
hotel to the conference?  I know at FISL we can not and that makes things 
harder.

These questions really need to be answered by all bid teams.  Sorry i did not 
pay closer attention to the proposals earlier.
