Frequently Asked Questions
General Information
Registration
- Where can I register and what is the procedure?
Detailed instructions for registration for this years Conference can be found at the register page.
- How much does the registration cost?
Registration for DebConf11 is free. However, attendees will have to pay for accommodation and food by themselves, or they can apply for sponsored attendance.
- What is sponsored attendance?
When registering for DC11, attendees can choose between paying by themselves or having sponsored food and/or accommodation. Sponsored food and/or accommodation means DebConf will help cover the cost of your staying. However, applying for sponsored stay does not necessarily mean you will get it; you will be notified on time. You must register for this category before 8th May, 2011.
- Will there be travel sponsorship?
We hope to obtain enough sponsorship to help some people attend who would not be able to pay for their own travel. We hope to allocate travel sponsorship money between April and June. We will make travel sponsorship reimbursements as soon as possible, but unfortunately, in the past this reimbursement has sometimes only been possible quite long after DebConf. You must apply before 8th May, 2011.
- Is there a confirmation email?
No, there will be no automatic confirmation email sent to your address. Log out and log in the system, or just refresh the page and your register information should now be saved and available for viewing. Please double check everything! Also, you need to select at least the " I want to attend this conference" checkbox or your registration won't be valid.
- Where can I get invitation letters?
Forward your request to register@debconf.org and make sure to include your full name, passport number and expiration date as well as you physical address.
Travel Information
- When and how will the bus from Zagreb to Banja Luka operate?
There is a huge entry on our wiki regarding this issue. More.
Accommodation and booking
- Do those not seeking travel sponsorship need to book directly with Hotel Bosna?
We will make reservations for everyone. People who are not sponsored will pay for the accommodation when they arrive at the Hotel.
Practical information, safety and must-know stuff
- Are non-smoking zones available for those allergic to smoke?
As much as it is permitted, in almost same measure it's prohibited. Smoking in buildings is prohibited, especially offices, same with hotels, while you have places where you can smoke. For example in Hotel Bosna there's cafe/bars/restaurant for smokers and non-smokers, same with smoking floors.
- What security is present for DebConf attendees?
We are currently working on providing a 24/7 security for Venue building.
- I've read negative things about safety at places such as the US State Dept. Are they accurate and relevant?
