Some people living in or near berlin (including me :)) could provide accommodation in their residences. I think I have space enough for two people...
An other idea would be something like: [http://www.couchsurfing.com/] --[[User:jukey|jukey]] 15:24, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
:Still space for two people ? me and my girlfriend ? We are couchsurfers and are also looking for hosts--[[User:anidel|anidel]] 07:14, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
:: Also looking for a place to crash just for Saturday, couch or floorspace all good. -- [[User:horkana|horkana]] 12:59, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

=== Affordable hotels ===
People who may want something a bit classier than a hostel (presumably not sponsored by the Maemo Software Team) may be interested in this [http://www.berlin-landmarks.com/mitte_hotels.html list of hotels] which should be near the venue. For example, [http://www.accorhotels.com/frm_fiche_hotel.svlt?code_hotel=0357 Ibis Berlin Mitte] has rooms for about 74 EUR/night. --[[User:jaffa|Jaffa]] 20:11, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Here is an Accor hotels search for [http://maps.maporama.com/idl/accor/drawsa.aspx?xml=common&xsl=liste_hotel&Lang=En&MD_height=265&MD_width=372&_rawxml=1&MD_scale=0.00013333&SA_config=1&SiteOrigine=ALL&GC_address=Rungestra%C3%9Fe+20&GC_city=Berlin&GC_zip=&GC_country=DE hotels near the c-base]. The cheapest one is [http://www.accorhotels.com/accorhotels/fichehotel/gb/etp/5058/fiche_hotel.shtml Etap Berlin Potsdamer Platz] at 65 EUR/night, [http://www.accorhotels.com/frm_fiche_hotel.svlt?code_hotel=0357 Ibis] is second at 75 EUR/nigh. The prices are for the whole 5-day stay; if you stay for only 3 days, Ibis is more expensive per night (but the total is still under 375 EUR).

=== Pure luxury ===
If you really need it a hint could be [http://www.osimworld.com/newt/l/handsetsvision/osim08/venue.html Hotel Palace], the venue of OSiM World.

=== Sponsored participants ===
Participants with a sponsorship covered by Nokia '''need to book their accommodation themselves'''. They need to pay in advance and claim their expenses to Nokia afterward, presenting the invoice paid. For budgeting purposes, please tell how much is your accommodation to Quim as soon as you know it.

The limit of accommodation costs covered by Nokia is '''375€'''. This reference amount comes from a rough calculation 5 nights * 75€. Feel free finding other combinations as far as you get your budget within the limits.
