Accommodation at UDS in Barcelona?

// February 21st, 2009 // Free Software, Jonathan

I just booked my flight tickets to the Ubuntu Developer Summit that’s taking place for the Karmic Koala release in May.

I checked the pricing at Hotel Rey Juan Carlos and it’s €160 per day for a twin-bed room. Is there anyone else that’s self-sponsored that would like to share a room? Please get in touch via IRC (highvoltage) or e-mail.

Or if there are other alternatives I should know about, please let me know :)

    Thanks Luis.

    Cosimo Concillo sent me an e-mail and notified me of the following which also looks quite good:

    I thought Karmic Koala was due in October?

    @Wayne. It is indeed. The UDS (which is an intense planning session for the next release) happens at the beginning of the release cycle, and the actual release is at the end of the release cycle, so there is typically about 5 months between the UDS and the actual release.

    Have you considered signing up to be a couch surfer?
