Yes! It's the Pythonic thing to do, as anyone who's
seen the Holy Grail knows! :)

Since the responses to Jacob's mail so far seems to 
be June 5 - August 0, I guess you might have to come 
twice. But June is nice too, so stay a little longer
and make it a mini vacation!

As far as I understood, there will be fewer rooms
available in June at the location Jacob talked about.
That is a pity, because they are on walking distance 
from Chalmers and you get excellent value for money. 
I hope there will be a fair amount of them available 
in June as well though, so for those who book early, 
they should still be available.

Also the bigger hotels might not have switched to
lower summer prices yet in early June, but there are
several cheap places to stay in Göteborg a short tram
ride from Chalmers, for those who are prepared to bring 
bedclothes and live without daily room cleaning, and 
possibly share the room with one or more other people 
(depending on how much you want to pay). There are also 
some smaller, well located hotels that have fair rates.

As I understand, it's good to make reservations a couple
of months beforehand, so it would be great if we could
get the program finished reasonably early, so that
people can make up their minds earlier. (That will also
mean less of a financial strain on the organizers I guess.)
