Sounds like it might make a BoF of sorts. We will probably have to be creative about BoFs, in ways such as Ross is proposing (off-site, meal, etc.). There's a wiki page on the Sinsheim area which (in my copious spare time) I will be transcribing some of into the new accommodation page and some into either the venue page or something else more appropriate.

There isn't much information in there yet on restaurants and the like, so additions from anyone are welcome.

Any planner who wants to learn Symposion is welcome to apply for administrator privs, and I will do my best to make sense of it for you. Editing the content is mostly fairly straightforward.

 Steve
