I found https://salsa.debian.org/debconf-team/public/websites/dc18/issues/31#note_17366 As per the issue, it needs to be still fleshed out . I remember at least for Debconf 15, 16 and 17 all had pictures so people had an idea of the onvenue accomodation. I didn't look at hotels but hostels for post-debconf stay if things panned out for me I tried to look at hostelworld.com but couldn't find anything for Hsinchu, Taiwan . There are some properties listed at Taipei, Taichung, Hualien (this is where the earthquake hit last year and from what I read on web, they are giving discounted vouchers and such to tourists who would go there.) , Changhua and Keelung but no hostels seem to be listed for Hsinchu, Taiwan :( There is also https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf18/Getting_Around of getting to the venue but doesn't give anything in times. For e.g. https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf18/Getting_Around#How_to_get_to_the_venue How to get to the venue Method 0 (NT$165, US$5.6) Take 搭 Taoyuan Airport MRT 機場捷運 to 至 Taoyuan HSR Station 桃園高鐵站 (A18) (NT$35) Then take 再搭 HSR 高鐵 south to 南下至 Hsinchu (Chubei) HSR Station 新竹（竹北）高鐵站 (NT$130) Finally leaving Exit 4, if 最後出４號出口， 若 Monday through Friday 週一至五 07:48, 09:18, 10:18, 12:18, 13:35, 16:15, 17:40 Take 搭 NCTU Shuttle Bus 國立交通大學交通車 from Bus Platform 5 自５號公車月台 to the last stop 至末站 (NT$0). Then 再 Walk to the conference building 步行至會場。 Monday through Sunday 週一至日 07:15, 08:00, 08:45, 09:30, 10:10, 10:40, 11:30, 12:15, 12:40, 13:30, 14:15, 14:55, 15:30, 16:15, 16:45, 17:20, 18:05, 18:45, 19:30, 20:15, 21:20, 22:30 Take 搭 182 bus １８２公車 from Bus Platform 2 自２號公車月台 to Guo Gou 至過溝 (NT$15) 。 Then 再 Walk to the conference building 步行至會場。 1. It would be nicer and easier to have time estimates taken of Taoyuan Airport MRT to Taoyuan HSR Station - how much time it takes from MRT to HSR Station ? Is it a 24 hour operation or some restricted to some hours ? Also how frequent is the service, every half hour, an hour or some times ? 2. Similarly how much would be the time travel journey for Taoyuan HSR Station to Hsinchu (Chubei) HSR Station and again whether it is a 24 hr. operation or only some times ? Again how frequent the service is or only at some times ? There is also this https://www.worldnomads.com/travel-safety/eastern-asia/taiwan/taiwan-safety-guide which needs to be re-worded and put in the wiki as well. Hopefully most of it will get fleshed out soonish so people can start making plans for travel. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8
