HI!
I also want to step back a bit and leave choosing a date up to Andrew and FLOSSUK people. So feel free to ignore my comments.
It seems to me that the most suitable week is Monday 9th November to Friday 13th November. If we go with that week then we just need to decide on the 3 days. If you want to hold the tutorial on the first day (which I reckon is a good plan) then it would suit our staff best if this happens on the Tuesday or Wednesday so that there is a working day beforehand to deal with the room setup. It would take a couple of hours to get the desks in and to ensure there is power and networking available on each desk. That can be done first thing in the morning but it's quite a rush and risks something not being ready in time.
I'd really like to get a firm decision by the end of this week so that we don't lose out to any other conferences.
