[Debconf-discuss] Last minute cancelation due to unexpected health problems
Hi. I'm verry sorry I can't attend the Debconf, due to last minute unexpected health problems for a close family member. I hope it's not too late to cancel my room and lunches and any other booked expenses. Please tell me if I should give more details to someone. Sorry again... I'll miss you, and you'll miss the lovely cheese I was about to bring tonight ;) Best regards, -- Olivier BERGER http://www-public.it-sudparis.eu/~berger_o/ - OpenPGP-Id: 1024D/6B829EEC Ingénieur Recherche - Dept INF Institut TELECOM, SudParis (http://www.it-sudparis.eu/), Evry (France) ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss

This means a long drive into the night, but it's the best we could do. If you want to travel along, drop me a line. First come, first served. Sorry for the late notice.

You could try movistar (owned by Telefonica). I was in a movistar shop in the morning and was after a SMS card but bought a mobile phone for 20 Euros to call my wife in Barcelona for 1 cent per minute. It was cheaper to buy the mobile phone to make calls within Spain. I can go with you.

[Debconf-discuss] Volunteers needed to staff the front-desk
Hi We need volunteers to staff the front-desk booth. The task is quite easy: You just have to be there and greet and check-in the new people arriving, answer questions of newcomers, sell food tickets and Debconf wine, ... Nothing too complicated and in case you don't know the answer to something, there is a nice little cheat-sheet in the wiki and you can always ask Amaya. I'm sure it's actually quite a lot of fun, because you will meet a lot of people and you'll not be doing the shifts alone. Please if you are able to help with this, if only for a single shift, prefereably more, register yourself on the wiki page at: http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf9/FrontDeskSchedule Thanks for your help!

It's nice, but it has no data (3G, Edge, or anything) support and my phone is stupid without it. So, two things, where's that Movistar store? And, do people know if I can get a SIM card with prepaid cards recharging that also has 3G/EDGE? Also, if I'm able to get such a SIM card, I offer to trade the Happy Móvil SIM card worth €10 (with still €3+ credit in it) for a cerveza pint :-D > I can go with you.

And, do people know if I > can get a SIM card with prepaid cards recharging that also has 3G/EDGE? The YOIGO card I got for €20 does 3G and had €20 of credit on it. Charges for use of 3G seem to stop after €1.20 each day (or less if I only use it a very little). I saw a YOIGO advert on a phone shop in the building at the end of Plaza Mayor, where the Caja Extremadura building is, but I don't know if they sell them there. > Also, if I'm able to get such a SIM card, I offer to trade the Happy > Móvil SIM card worth €10 (with still €3+ credit in it) for a cerveza > pint :-D > > > I can go with you.

So, that 'deadline' has now passed, and I drew lots (literally) to determine pairs of players. The wiki page has been updated accordingly; people who signed up should check the page to determine against whom they should play. The number of people who signed up is not a power of two, so there will at several stages be people who may skip a round without facing an opponent. For the first round, this is Stefano Zacchiroli; for the next round(s), I will again draw lots to determine the lucky person.
