- Germán has some hw problems with his laptop, he will sent the list as soon as possible.
List required in order to create a definitive budget for the hackfest.

Alejandro Leiva has contacted hotel tryp macarena, the one recommended by AEGIS
Initially they have offered a 15% group discount, but is required a minimum of 10.
In the same way, they informed that they have full the 9th.
This means that the day scheduled for wrap-up should be removed.

Alejandro Leiva would check second options.

Bryen reported that there are not real updates from the funding sources.
He will always be on the lookout for funding opportunities.

Alejandro Piñeiro things that this should be just added as a additional cost, and that foundation is waiting for the final budget estimation.

Alejandro Piñeiro current idea is avoid to create a poster, as it there would be overlapping with the general gnome-a11y one.
Joanmarie will work on a Orca one.
