...And also: In the past we have managed to have a nice daytrip with
zero cost to DebConf (each person paid their own train ticket in DC7;
each person paid their transport to the beach in DC10). In other
DebConfs we have received the daytrip as an in-species sponsorship
from the local govt (IIRC we didn't pay for it in DC9, DC11 nor
DC12). Yes, food is budgeted as we have to pay for it, but IIRC it's
in the range of an in-venue meal. And being the daytrip an important
socialization/integration activity, I do consider it an integral part
of DebConf.
I would only leave it out if we do shorten to one week, of course, as
it would become a much bigger hit on our productive time.
