Transportation
by plane
Reaching Salzburg by plane is easy - there are flights from all major (and even some smaller) cities in Europe to the Salzburg Airport W.A. Mozart. The BSP location is only a 2.2km walk or taxi drive away from the airport terminal.
In case flying to Salzburg is not an option you could fly to/from Munich Airport. From there you'll need about 3 hours by train via Salzburg HBF and bus to reach the BSP location.
by car
Reaching Salzburg and especially the BSP location by car is easy http://maps.google.at/maps?daddr=Karolingerstr.+36a,+Salzburg. If you come from Germany it is possible to reach the location without paying highway tolls by leaving the German A8 towards Bad Reichenhall and following the B20/B21 to Salzburg (use the 'Avoid tolls' option in Google Maps, for example).
by train
If you want to come to Salzburg by train your destination is Salzburg Main Station (Salzburg HBF). From there you either take a taxi (about 10-15 minutes, probably 10-20 EUR) or the local bus (timetable), about 20 minutes, 2.50 EUR if you buy the ticket in the bus).
by bus
Coming to Salzburg: Various coach services will bring you to Salzburg. If you live in the South and/or East of Austria, eurolines might be interesting for you. For travelling within Austria (and close to the border, for example to Bad Reichenhall) you could use the PostBus.
Travelling within Salzburg: timetable will have all the timetables for you. The bus stop next to the conova building is called 'Pressezentrum/Kugelhof'.
Accommodation
There will already be some tourists in Salzburg in April, so you might want to book early! There are various small towns and villages around Salzburg which might offer cheaper and not so crowded accommodations, don't hesitate to ask bzed@debian.org (bzed on OFTC and freenode) for details.
