[Debconf-discuss] making hotel reservations at Vacational Center IMSS Oaxtepec
greetings, i am planning on attending debconf and am needing to book a hotel room. the travel agency for the university that i work for has been in contact with Vacational Center IMSS Oaxtepec. it seems that they (the travel agency) are having a difficult time communicating with V.C. IMSS; that is, they cannot seem to find anyone who speaks english when they call. does anyone have any advice regarding this situation? also, the website: http://debconf6.debconf.org/about/accommodation.html talks about two hotels being inside of V.C IMSS, Yautepec and Zacatepec. do i or the travel agency need to contact the hotels (Yautepec or Zacatepec) directly? thanks, -matt zagrabelny ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss

I'd like to add that restraining oneself from using profanity (either as a speaker or as an audience member) in a public venue is common courtesy. Similarly as we choose our words when speaking to strangers. I might be tempted to use profanity with friends or coworkers, but I'd be much more careful with people I don't know or have never met. -mz ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
