Word back from the hostel director, we would have all the rooms except one ( 1 fireplace room to be used for other guests) for free. > > For what is worth, the standards we applied in looking for potential hacklabs > in venues we investigated were: accessible 24/7, low security risk, enough > space.

You (local team) has said plenty of time Switzerland is very secure, so I don't know why this wouldn't apply to this hostel too ;) When you have the rooms for yourself you can have them accessible 24/7 and close them too (as we have done in previous years). As I told you by IRC, Didier, I know somebody who worked there in a previous winter season and I was told the staff was great. > > So far, I have not gotten any indication to indicate that a talkroom could > happen in St-Moritz's youthhostel, nor for which price. Read above.

Well, you told me this clearly by IRC: 16:11 <OdyX> I don't really care in fact. 16:11 <OdyX> We go to LeCamp, so I don't care. The internet is also for free and for the moment what they have is a 10Mbps line. I'm sorry for not sending this before, I had real life stuff. I still want to send it so I can point to it people in the future when they say le camp was our only possible venue.
