Group Hosting Checklist
Clarify the basics
- communicate and find out the following:
- what is it that they are doing?

- when will they arrive (earliest) and leave (latest)?
- which room(s) will they be using for day-time activities?
- which room(s) will they be using for sleeping?
- (when) will they participate in dinner preparation?
- will they bring food or help us recover it?
- communicate to KH residents about the group coming
- make a Slack post (#kanthaus?) and/or a CoMe point
- put it in the nextcloud calendar in the following format:
Group name (n ppl) [host]
Before they arrive
