Here is the deal: Close to the conference venue (about 7 minutes walking) are the docks of Arnhem. We have contacted a hotel-boat or 'flotel' if you will. It has a capacity of 52 quarters with two beds each. Now if we achieve to book them all, we have ourselves a boat.
It is a non amendable offer: You pay 499 euro for a place to sleep for the whole event (from October 8th until October 15th). By booking a bed (not a cabin), you are ensured of a nice and non-traditional stay in a place with only fellow Plonistas. There is a bar aboard!
You always pay for the whole week. Even if you stay there for a few days, you pay a bed for the whole week. The cabins all have 2 beds, a toilet and a shower. If you book alone, we will randomly place you in a cabin with someone else.
We are about to setup an online booking form, but until then, send a mail to ploneboat@ploneconf.org to secure a bed. We will contact you when booking is up and running. Also be sure to visit the site often since we will keep you up to date on the Plone boat.
Note: We need to know before September 5th if we get the boat fully booked, so respond fast: ploneboat@ploneconf.org and state how many beds you want, please add you arriving and leaving day. Already booked your hotel? Check if you can cancel for free, but only do this when we ensured the boat! the organization is not responsible for any obligations.
Plone will rock your boat!
Update: All rooms are the same, and have 2 separated beds, a shower, a toilet and a window you can open.
Update: 499,- is for 1 person, 1 bed.
