I don't fully understand what you mean. We're usually doing a social
event on another place, because it's a bit better to move to another
place if you were sitting in the same place for the whole day.

Nope, you have to pay money to those mostly too. If we're getting the
university for free, that would be good enough. :)

We're getting 1500€ for this year ubuconDE from the Ubuntu Community
Dontations. I think we can get something much higher for ubucon.eu. Even
though it'll doesn't cover all our costs. So we definitely need more
than one sponsor.

The site itself doesn't look too bad. Anyway I dislike that they're
using google forms the registration. I think I will try some/different
django-based sites.
