Karlsruhe is the perfect place to host GUADEC 2016.   \section{Venue}  We plan on hosting GUADEC 2016 at DHBW on Friday, Saturday, Monday and Tuesday and to spend Sunday at ZKM.  DHBW offers exactly what we are looking for: A large room for keynotes and some smaller rooms for parallel sessions and rooms for the BoFs during the two-day hackfest. The rooms are all perfectly equipped with all one needs and the venue has a lobby which we intend to transform into a lounge for casual gatherings.   ZKM offers large auditorium which would be perfect for hosting the AGM and the GSoC Student Talks. There are also a few smaller rooms available for parallel sessions. As one cannot visit Karlsruhe without spending some time at ZKM, the end of the day on Sunday will be dedicated to visit this particularly interactive museum.  DHBW is located in the northern part of Karlsruhe. It is in walking distance of the inner city. It is also in walking distance of the accommodation that we are suggesting. We are nonetheless in discussion with the local tourism office to arrange for reduced fares for public transport to render the access to the venue even easier.   In the unlikely event of things not going the way they should, alternative options such as hosting the event entirely at ZKM or relocating to the Karlshochschule, right in the heart of the inner city, have already been considered and can be activated if required. However, additional costs might occur, especially if we spend the entire time at ZKM.   \section{Travel}  \subsection{Airports and connections}
