Gorjan should investigate this. We need a brief hotels description, in terms of conf room size, spare beds at given time, location...
== Format and Schedule ==


The Balkan meetup will be comprised of 3 parts :


Conference rooms in hotels in Skopje can be quite expensive, and would attribute a too formal note on the whole event, the University should give a more informal and yet creative and open event.
* Day 1: [Private event] working sessions led by staff and community
* Day 2: [Public event] presentations given by staff and community to the general public (FREE and open to everyone who registers) in university auditorium + workshops
* Day 3: [Private event] Wrap-up and Goals setting


=== Schedule ===


==Ohrid, Lake Ohrid, Macedonia.==
[[Balkans:2010/Schedule|Schedule]]


A lot of hotels are available, April till June is the conference season so we can get good package prices for conference rooms and accommodation depending on the number of people attending.
== Contact People ==
[[User:Jovanovski|Gorjan Jovanovski - Local Community Leader]]


We should see if we can also book a mini-bus or some kind of transportation to bring people from Skopje to Ohrid. Its a 2 hour drive, buses run every hour if we take public transport. But we should still organize the transport from the bus station in Ohrid to the hotel.

Hotels are equipped with broadband internet, wifi and a beamer. Free Software Macedonia also has a beamer that can be used.
