Before the end of the work day I called back a few times, but only made it to their voicemail. I left a message for a call back. I'll contact them again in the morning. Once I get an answer, I'll make sure everyone knows. A few other people have been following up with me about the Hilton as it would be the best hotel option (in my opinion). Without a group discount, the prices are: Standard rate is $149 (1 King or 2 Doubles) Executive floor rate is $169 (1 King Bed 1 Bedroom) Jeremy -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I had planned on doing this, but haven't had much time to work on it (just a poor attempt at it when we were choosing venue sites). If no one volunteers, I'll eventually get around to it, but probably not this week. Jeremy -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I agree. 20 rooms is what they offered me over the phone (15 is what the contract they sent me shows). I'm giving their sales manager a call back tomorrow morning during office hours to see if we can get more rooms. I have a list of a few other hotels that are within 4 miles of the university that I will call to see about a group rate. I plan on getting a shuttle service or something to run between whichever hotel it is and the venue. side questions: can you buy the meals plans if you don't stay in the > dorms? is the cafeteria(s) in the dorms or closer to the conference > center? also last year the meal plans were on credit card thingies and > you didn't really buy complete meals (we were told to do that) but > credit which you used in many ways on campus including meals. this seems > to be a common thing on many campuses now so some accurate info on this > would be a good idea. many overbought credit because of that and either > wasted money or donated it to the hackathon which bought munchies with > them. a related issue was that we had a dedicated cafeteria room to use > but they weren't prepared with enough cashiers (credit or cash) so the > lines were very long at lunch. just things to learn from previous > yapc's. I'll put together some information on dining. UH offers a Courgar1 Card which is a declining balance card (similar to last year). We haven't included this in the registration option for a few reasons. If people wish to go the Cougar1 Card route, we will probably handle those separately. The venue has a food court, but might run into some problems with the volume of people. We are looking into using the catering at UH for lunches. Again, I'll get some more detailed information together and out to everyone. Jeremy -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Alas, it doesn't seem possible to share authorship of this new Google Maps feature (yet). Thanks for testing it. I suppose I could add points to this map, and I'll be happy to. But I need people to adds points of interest to the Houson Map Wiki page[1]. Please include a title, description (optional, but helpful), and an address or some other reference so I can locate it on the map.
