[TYPO3] T3CON07 pricing and people from low payed countries..

[ries van Twisk]

Hey Virgil,

I called Queens hotels myself, these are the prices they gave me:

107E first night
85E second and third night

All nights include breakfast, this is an very expensive location.
However, there are much cheaper locations available in the location  
for 40 and 60 euro.

I am currently disappointed that the organizers did not respond yet  
to this thread.

Since I know Tania very well I will sponsor her the hotel for 3  
nights...

Now organizers, come on and show yourself and show us you have balls!!!!
