Hi, I volunteered to find out when Otavio and his mom are arriving to New York, explore transportation options (which I have done but not finished and with huge help with Jeremy) and also volunteered to find folks to meet him there.
So here is some information 1) We cannot use the access ride service as he is arrives in Newark. 2) He arrives at 6 AM on July 26th. 3) We can have someone meet him with a car to take the luggage, which is apparently sizable, back to Columbia and we need another person to assist with getting Octavio and mom to Columbia via public transportation. 4) We can arrange a car service like Carmel but my understanding--and here I am asking--is that Otavio would have to pay for this (I have cced the global team to see how this was financially handled in the past). I have not checked if he can afford this nor how much it would cost but will soon [1]. Otavio let me know that 1 extra person would not be enough to help with their luggage, which is why I am suggesting that we get a volunteer with a car or at least 2 volunteers there. Suggestions? Volunteers? All best, Biella [1] Due to HOPE and an article that is due asap (really last week), I am a bit behind. I hope to turn in the article tomorrow evening and be back on Debconf board with full attention!
