[Debconf-discuss] Getting to the venue
¡Hola! I'm very much looking forward DebConf12! As I arrive in the evening [0] I'm a little concerned about travel options to the venue. The wiki page [1] still says "This wiki page is going to provide information soon." Should we just plan to get a taxi with fellow travelers? Please advise! --Tom [0] http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf12/Arrivals [1] http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf12/Travel-Arriving-Airport ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss

Things are in the works - but unfortunately don't get cleared as quick as everybody wishes, but from seeing it myself in place in Managua there's no reason to worry. Current last information I have is that Hotels that'll be booked for accommodation will provide Airport transfer services. Those contracts should become signed very soon, probably even today. Then lists of names of all the people willing to be transferred will be created and people be picked up. There might even be a special area in the airport available to us to gather and wait for transfers together. > Should we just plan to get a taxi with fellow travelers? As far as I see it at the moment, that'll not be required. Cheers, Henning ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss

Just to make it clear ( I've been pointed out I might not have been): The localteam is working hard to get transfer/pickup organized, but things take longer as expected and therefore it's not 100% confirmed. It should turn out in one way or another that there will be an organized transfer(by hotels or with a government sponsored bus). As a fallback, having names and contact data of other people that arrive at about the same time, and joining them to share a taxi is good to have. There will be detailed information on getting good and safe taxis at the airport before debcamp!

DebCamp people will be picked up at the aiport by their hotel. DebConf people will probably use the govt sponsored buses. Either way, whe're working on it and will confirm as soon as we have more info. > As a fallback, having names and contact data of other people that > arrive at about the same time, and joining them to share a taxi is > good to have. > There will be detailed information on getting good and safe taxis at > the airport before debcamp! > > > Henning > ___ > Debconf-discuss mailing list > Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org > http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss > ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss

(recycling last year's mail) Do I need to explain what is the Cheese and Wine (C&W) party? Still, if some of you need more information, please feel free to ask. The C&W8 wiki page has just been created on DebConf wiki : http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf12/CheeseWineBoF Information will come there until the day of the C&W, which is scheduled for Monday July 9th. C&W orga details are currently very vague, but the most important point is: start planning what YOU will be bringing for the event. Remember that the event is only successful when many of us manage to bring good stuff to share (preferrably cheese, wine...or other ethanol-improved beverages). If you think about something *else* than cheese, please feel free to bring it: just try to have it representative of your part of the world...or a part of the world you love. Any further questions can be asked in this mailing list or in #debconf channel on irc.debian.org PS: don't ask me what are cheese import regulations in Nicaragua, I have no idea ATM. I suspect they might be similar to what we had in USA, Mexico, Argentina: avoid fresh cheese but focus more on cured cheese (aka "hard" cheese). ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss

The customs declaration form at http://www.eaai.com.ni/images/stories/info/adua1.jpg mentions "Live animals, plants or fresh food", so I assume that cheese that doesn't move doesn't need to be declared :) Cheers, gregor -- .''`.

I like the definition using "cheese that doesn't move"..:-) And some could anyway say that cheese is indeed not "fresh" food as it stinks. ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
