summercon 2008 A new tradition of organization (5/30-6/1)

Last year, the Wyndham was smart. They put us down in the dungeon, where a group of surly, drunken hackers wouldn't affect the experience of unsuspecting guests. The World of Wyndham™ is in for a big surprise this year, as we've been "promoted" to the ground floor of the hotel. This means two things: 1) we're closer to a fully stocked hotel bar, and 2) hackers and hotel guests will be forced to mingle. I will express this situation algebraically:

booze(hackers+civilians)=MAYHEM

What could possibly go wrong?

Hopefully everyone will have a good time, and no furniture will be destroyed. I'm counting on everyone to be reasonably well behaved, but if not, I'm sure some of the larger and surlier among us will gladly see to it that everyone "has a good time."

With that, I've listed some random details about the Wyndham, all carefully plagiarized from www.wyndham.com.

I'm half-expecting someone to post full architectural plans for this hotel along with passwords for the phone system and an E/R diagram for the house reservation database.
