[Debconf-discuss] Train / Bus / Car to DebConf?

2007-02-27 Thread Joachim Breitner
Hi,

I’d like to go to DebConf and DebCamp by land, not only because of
ecological reasons, but also because I’m sure it could be quite fun if
we travel together. I’ll be leaving from Stuttgart or Karlsruhe, but one
could meet, for example, in Paris.

It is not necessary cheaper to go by train compared to flying, but it’s
not too expensive. It seems that you can get a ticket Paris-London on
the EuroStart starting 59£[1] (90€) both ways if you book in advance and
are lucky. Going to Paris depends on where you are, of course, and I’m
not sure what the cheapest option from London to Edinburgh are, of if
there are combined offers. It takes roughly 24h from Stuttgart to
Edinburgh.

An alternative might be a traveling by bus, although I did not check the
rates there yet.

Going by car makes only sense with 3 or 4 people (and drivers) and a
car.

So is anyone else interested in taking any of these paths? I’d like
attend both DebCamp and DebConf, so I’d prefer to travel on the weekends
of the 10th and 24th.

Greetings,
Joachim

Is it true that I can’t see the offers online? Seems a bit, well,
offline :-)

Does the Bruxelles-London Eurostar go via Paris? Maybe I can join you
there. When do you think you know your exact times?

For people under 21 years you can get Eurostar tickets for 60 € each
now, but I guess they will be sold out soon

How do you book your train from London to Edinburgh? What are the
cheapest options?

Re: [Debconf-discuss] Train to DebConf

2007-03-03 Thread Joachim Breitner
Hi again,

it seems the cheapest way to get to London from Germany is the combined
German night train / Euro-Star ticket. From Stuttgart it is less than
100€ on way per person. Tickets are sold 3 months in advance and you got
to be fast, I guess.

http://www.nachtzugreise.de/site/nachtzugreise/de/angebote/partnerangebote/eurostar/eurostar.html

So is anyone from southern Germany interested in joining me on the
journey? It seems that all Night trains from Frankfurt or Munich pass
through Karlsruhe anyways.

Of course we still need a cheap connection from London to Edinburgh. It
seems that the normal price is more than £150 one way, that’s definitely
too much for me.

Greetings,
Joachim

[Debconf-discuss] Help: Edinburgh - London before 1pm?

2007-03-26 Thread Joachim Breitner
Hi,

I just bought my return ticket from London to Germany. Because of
limited availability (and because I should have done that on saturday),
I have to take the Eurostar leaving at 13:36 in London Waterloo. Now my
problem is: How do I get from Edinburgh to London in time? Could please
someone living in the UK, who knows the system better, help me out with
an affordable connection London - Edinburgh (on 2007-06-10, leaving not
before 10:30) and Edinburgh - London (on 2007-06-24, arriving before
13:00)? 

Or maybe someone is going by car from Edinburgh to London and is willing
to leave early enough so that I can make it?

Or maybe someone for some reason has a later Eurostar connection to
London and is willing to swap?

Any help highly appreciated.

Greetings,
Joachim

2007-03-26 Thread Joachim Breitner
Hi,

thanks for the information. I think I start to understand the British
system, at least in those parts that matter :-)

I just booked the London-Edinburgh Train (Sunday, 10/06/2007 departs
LONDON KINGS CROSS at 11:45 travel by Train service provider GNER to
station EDINBURGH WAVERLEY arrives 16:49) for £28.50, not the best deal,
but it’s ok.

For the way back I think I’ll go for the sleeper train if I can get the
reduced £33 ticket, otherwise I might take the overnight bus (only £5,
can that be true?)

Thanks for the help.

Greetings,
Joachim

I guess the Information is on the websites of the hostels, but in case

What do we need to bring to the hostel rooms, and what is present?
 * Linen

 * Bedcover

 * (anything else that I forgot)

This will be a very spontanious, unprepared, confusing talk and does not
deserve to be recorded. But if there are more interested people that do
not see it today, I might do it again later. Mayb less spontanious, less
prepared and less confusing then :-)

If I have the checksum computed and compared, do I still need the
fingerprint on the printout? After all, they are verified in the file on
my disk? Therefore, I’d only key ids and uids. Right?

[Debconf-discuss] What to do on a sunday morning in London

2007-06-21 Thread Joachim Breitner
Hi,

due to some bad luck and bad timing, I have a rather bad connection back
to Germany. I will take the night bus to London and arrive there 7:30 at
Victoria Station. The Eurostar to Paris leaves at 13:30. That gives me 6
hours to fill, while dragging along my luggage? I don’t mind to get a
day pass for the underground.

Any suggestions what to do? Maybe some nice park to look at (and to rest
a bit more)? Sights that are compatible with a tired geek? Or maybe
someone is already in London at that time and wants to meet for some
post-DebConf hanging-around?

The same questions actually arises for Paris as well, where I have to
waste time from 17:30 to 22:30.

Greetings,
Joachim

I’d like to take the city of the dead tour tonight. I don’t know exactly
what it is, but I know that the tour enters the locked down part of the
graveyard near the hostel. Tours starts tonight at 9:15pm and 10pm, but
I’d rather take the later one, so that it will be dark. Prices are £8.50
(£6.50 discounted).

Anyone interested in joining?

you are talking about Debit card – does the problem also exist for
Credit cards?

In particular, with my MasterCard, I have to pay no fee if I withdraw
more than 100€ (so more than 500 Pesos) – how are my chances of finding
an ATM that allows me that?

Thanks,
Joachim

being similar-minded (Edinbough and Helsinki by train), I’d be
interested to join. Did you already found out possible connections,
travel times and prices? 

OTOH, sharing a car was fun as well (Oslo). Is anyone from Germany or
France planing to do a road trip?

I’m really interested in that, either via Paris or Zürich (probably
doesn’t make a big difference from Karlsruhe). 

Anyways, we should make sure to have a complete list of train-interested
people, possible on http://wiki.earth.li/DebconfTravel2009/Trains (added
myself there now). 

> PS: I finally made up my own mind and *will* travel by train.

Great, looking forward to see you there.

Maybe we should, once we know how many people want to travel from where,
ask http://gleisnost.de/ (international train travel specialists in
Freiburg) for an comprehensive offer. They add a fee to their tickets,
but (according to them) are often able to provide cheaper tickets due to
strange combinations and special offers. I’m sure they’ll also check if
InterRail tickets are cheaper.

Greetings,
Joachim

[Debconf-discuss] Anyone had success with tgv-europe.de?

2009-05-09 Thread Joachim Breitner
Hi,

I’m trying to book the night train Paris → Madrid via
http://www.tgv-europe.de/ (or http://www.voyages-sncf.com/, same
results, just in a different language). I can enter the travel dates
(leaving 7-15, returing 7-31), select my price class for the train going
there, then select my price class for the return train, and then I get
„technical problems“. Am I the only one with such experiences? Maybe
someone with Internet Explorer could see if he gets further – who
knows...

Thanks,
Joachim

It works fine for more usual connections (e.g. Karlsruhe → Paris). I
hope it’s not a permanent problem with that particular connection, or
I’ll keep trying until after DebConf :-)

Too late. Worried by Christian’s correct observation, and the fact that
yesterday evening, the 88€ fare for going there was available and then
stopped to be available, I just booked my ticket via tgv-europe.de. 128€
each way now – at least a geeky number.

So is anyone else going on the 15th or returning on the 31th? I put my
seat numbers on
http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/Debconf9/Travel/TrainBooking, maybe we sit
nearby :-)

I’m also having a few extra hours in Paris either way, so one could meet
early somewhere.

I just hope that booking the last part of the journey will be a bit more
sane...

Joachim

A few days ago, I could have booked the €88 journey there via
tgv-europe.de, so it might actually be the same backend and you were
just lucky that you didn’t insist on booking both tickets at the same
time :-)

I only did a rough guestimate at the time when I expected to get a 88€
ticket, and it didn’t seem to pay off. But it’s an option, I guess.

Actually, I mostly looked at the one-country-passes (where there are
three-day-valid passes). The 10 in 22 days pass could be competitive as
well.

Mind that you need to add special fees for the night trains, not sure
what they are.

[Debconf-discuss] Train Madrid → Caceres

2009-05-24 Thread Joachim Breitner
Hi,

I’d like to book my train from Madrid to Caceres on July 16th now, and I
have some questions that (I think) have not been answered yet here or on
the web pages.

* I will arrive with the night train at 9:10 at MADRID CHAMARTIN. Is a
train leaving from MADRID-PUERTA DE ATOCHA at 09:55 possible and safe to
catch?

* When querying from http://www.renfe.es/horarios/english/index.html
(and also on[1]), I see this train leaving at 9:55. But when searching
for a train via http://www.renfe.es/, under „Compra de Billets“, I only
get two rather late trains (leaving at 16:25 resp. 22:25). What am I
doing wrong?

* Would I gain anything by waiting for the return ticket to become
available, and booking both together?

* Should I select the „Open return“ option? What does it mean, after
all? :-)

* Is it normal that there are no tickets available for the busses at
http://www.venta.avanzabus.com/ yet?

* Is anyone else traveling at that time? Debacle, what about you?

Thanks in advance,
Joachim

I wonder if Ian Jackson, Wookey, Nick Bane, Daniel Glassey are aware of
this, according to

trying to do exactly that. Is anyone of you reading this?

sounds better than having to wait for 7 hours in madrid (after being on
the rails for a whole day already). If only the 9:55 train would appear
in the booking view of renfe.es...

Is it possible to book the Cercanias ticket together with the Madrid →
Caceres ticker? If not, where and how can I get the Cercanias ticket?

Thanks,
Joachim

When I search for an earlier date (up to 2009-06-14), I do get this
train (and a few other regional trains that did not show up for
2009-07-16). At the days from 2009-06-15 I see these trains, but it says
„TREN NO DISPONIBLE A LA VENTA“, until 2009-06-20. At even later days,
no connections are found.

Could it just be that tickets for REGIONAL trains (R-598 in this case)
are available later than tickets for the long distance trains?

Thanks,
Joachim

That would be great. If do you so, make sure you cover the case where
the ticket to Chamartin (Nighttrain from Paris) and the ticket from
Atocha were bought independently.

And while you are calling, could you also ask when the regional train
tickets are going to be available online for July 16th and 31st, resp.

[Debconf-discuss] Ticket for sale: Paris → Ma drid, July 15th

2009-06-06 Thread Joachim Breitner
Hi,

my nephew’s chistening will be on July 18th, and I’m going to be his
godfather, so I have to throw over my DebConf plans. I have a Elipsos
night train ticket from Paris to Madrid, July 15th, which I’d like to
sell. (I hope these are transferable)

Is anyone interested? I paid 128€ for that part of the journey, and I’m
open for bargains :-)

(It seems I could return it for a 10% fee, but I’m sure that’s more
hassle than selling it).

[Debconf-discuss] Condensed keylist to print out

2009-07-16 Thread Joachim Breitner
Hi,

as last year, I’m consensing the list that I print out considerably: It
gets this format:

SHA256 Checksum: 314F 1126 E119 F139 871E 356F FCFB 7310
 B818 6959 6A57 4224 24A2 114C CB4B 4CA3  [ ]

1D227AFB: In [] Out (  )
[..]

which should be all that’s needing during the (long-running) keysigning
event. The list fits on two A4 page. The script to generate it
(including the call to enscrpit) is on 
http://people.debian.org/~nomeata/debconf9-signing-party/condense-keysign-list.tar.gz
You need to adjust the key-ids in generate.sh, and if you want the

in the code.

I also tried to generate a graph of the current signatures as on

Thomas put in the wiki that he is only joining for DebConf, not DebCamp.
What about you, Ian, are you taking the train for DebConf or DebCamp?

I’d like to attend both and also take the train from Munich, and would
appreciate company. Anybody interested?

Also, Thomas, do you a rough estimate how expensive the train is?
bahn.de does not give that information yet.

When you say Munich → Zagreb, you refer to the same train as Thomas
does, when talking about Munich → Novska, right? According to the data
on http://wiki.earth.li/DebconfTravel2011, there is not a suitable train
connection to Zagreb to Banja Luka (13 minutes is not enough after a
night train). Thomas, do you already try to find out there is a way
(e.g. a bus) to get from Novska to Banja Luka if we do not try to hire a
car for a group of people? http://www.akz.hr/EN/voznired.aspx does not
list any. From Zagreb to Banja Luka there are busses about every two
hours, and they take three hours, according to the same webpage.

On the way back, Ian’s choice of trains suit me perfectly from Banja
Luka until Munich. Ian, will you book for everyone joining, so that we
are sure to share one compartment? This would be doubly convenient for
me as I am traveling in India on May 1st and could not book myself until
later.

For the way there, I’d be glad if more people would join me from Munich
on. I plan to attend DebCamp, so I would depart on the 17th. Anybody
interested? Or maybe DebConf is enough this year... guess I should make
up my mind soon :-)

Greetings,
Joachim

For Zagreb → Banja Luka, I find buses via
http://www.akz.hr/EN/voznired.aspx

For example, for the 18th of April (Juli is not available yet) there are
busses leaving 06:30, 09:00, 10:30, 12:30, 15:00, 16:30, 20:00, 22:00.
So if we arrive at 8:40 in Zagreb, we can easily catch the 10:30 bus
(assuming it runs on that day) and reach Banja Luka by 12:50 for 108
Croatian kn.

But you are only attending DebConf, right? I’m more likely to attend
both.

Thanks. Count me in!

(I am assuming that it is quite likely that accommodation sponsorship
will be available for me, so I guess I can book before getting the
official confirmation.)

It should not make a great price difference to book from Okucani to have
the choice, although with some carriers your tickets is invalid if you
board later.

Or we could take a bus from Banja Luka to Zagreb with more clearance.


BTW, there is a bus going from Germany (Mannheim, Karlsruhe, Stuttgart –
I’m offline at the moment, so this is from memory. I think it also stops
in Munich) directly to Banja Luka. This might be an interesting option
for the way there, especially for the Karlsruhers – Phil, what do you
think? I don’t have any detail yet about price and comfort level,
though.

my source is
http://www.busfahrkarte.eu/Fahrplan/bosnien/t416-deutschland-banjaluka-bijeljina.html
where the trip takes 16h (14:00 to 5:45), which is not too bad. And
given that there are no connections to miss, I think it’s something we
should alt least keep in mind.

But I agree that trains are nicer. I guess it depends on whether we can
conveniently reach Banja Luka from Novska. Is someone from the local
team reading this and can tell us if renting a car for that distance is
viable and affordable?

Joachim

if there is a shuttle from Zagreb anyways, we could of course alight the
night train in Zagreb. But I have not seen a mention of a shuttle bus
yet (maybe I missed it). What day is that planned? And in case this bus
does not help us and we have to organize another one for us: What are
the costs of the bus from Zagreb?

which links to
http://lists.debconf.org/lurker/message/20110331.165633.52477e5f.en.html
which seems to indicate, if I am not reading it wrong, that as long as
we somehow get a flight or train to Zagreb and make sure we put our
travel times on the wiki, then the local team takes care of getting us
to Banja Luka somehow? That’s of course a very nice service!

So should we definitely go for Zagreb, or nevertheless consider Okucani
or Novska?

We would be leaving on Sunday, probably not too late after noon, and at
least those from Germany will arrive Monday morning... If you want to
take the train one night earlier, you’d probably miss the last events on
Saturday.

Ok, after 8 more hours, it’s not morning any more. So I refine my above

[Debconf-discuss] Night train Munich to Zagreb on 26. → 27

2011-04-20 Thread Joachim Breitner
Hi,

Phil and I (well, mostly Phil), are about to book the night train from
Munich to Zagreb on the 26th. Andreas Tille has indicated interest in
joining that train (Andreas, can we book for you or is there still
uncertainty?)

If anybody else would like to join that part of the trip and wants to
have a chance to be in the same compartment, please speak up, so that we
can book the tickets for all at once.

yes, Phil Kern and I, although not directly to the start of of DebCamp,
but rather arriving on the 20th. Andreas Tille is likely to join us,
although booking separately, and Michal Čihař is also likely to come by
train, but with non-final plans yet.

I am only sporadically online at the moment, so if you want us to book a

[Debconf-discuss] 08:53 train from Zagreb to Banja Luka

2011-07-07 Thread Joachim Breitner
Hello,

given that we need to prepare our own travel, I’m reviewing the
information on the wiki again. Phil and I arrive at Zagreb by Train at
8:40. Of course we can go to the bus station take any of the busses to
Banja Luka; this is our default plan.

But now I see that there is also a train from Zagreb to Banja Luka
leaving at 8:53. Night trains tend to be late, so I don’t want to book
tickets for that train in advance. But in case our train arrives on time
or even a bit early, I might want to try catch it, as it is more
convenient than a bus. Can someone of the local people or maybe someone
from croatia tell me:

 - Is it possible to board the Zagreb → Banja Luka train without
reservation, and
 - is it possible to buy the tickets on the train, and if yes
 - is it possible to pay with Euros or credit card (13min will not be
enough to withdraw Croatian money from an ATM)?

Thanks,
Joachim

Hmm, in Germany they have devices that at least read the BahnCard, I
would not be surprised if they can also read credit cards. Haven’t tried
though :-)

Will do, although for that I yet need to find out (didn’t try yet) the
maximum of the possible prices of either bus or train, so that I don’t
have too much HRK afterwards.

a considerable number are taking trains from Zagreb, and even those who

I’m pretty sure that we will spend the money somehow (e.g. lunch. And
dinner.), so I am sure you will get rid of it. I am actually hoping for
the opposite: That someone will be able to give me enough Kunas for
Euros to pay for whatever we want to pay for in Zagreb, as I can only
withdraw money without fees if I withdraw more than 100€.

[Debconf-discuss] Speakers in summit?

2014-08-05 Thread Joachim Breitner
Hi,

maybe I am blind, but does the schedule on, e.g., 
https://summit.debconf.org/debconf14/2014-08-24/
somehow contain information on who actually holds a talk?

I can only find a list of participants (which seem to include the
speaker somewhere) in a unwieldy popup.

Thanks,
Joachim

[Debconf-discuss] Does anyone bring a Jolla phone to DebConf?

2014-08-21 Thread Joachim Breitner
Hi,

I’m playing with the idea of obtaining a Jolla Phone (looks like a nice
shiny hackable and non-mainstream device). So I’m wondering: Does any
DebConf attendee have such a phone? I’d like to see it in real live and
hear about your experiences.

Thanks,
Joachim

[Debconf-discuss] Lindy Hop Dancing

2014-08-23 Thread Joachim Breitner
Hi,

I really enjoy Lindy Hop dancing, and depending on how much I need a
break from geeky stuff (and how well my ankle behaves) I might consider
going to some of the social Lindy Hop events in Portland this weekend:

Today (from 8pm, outside!)
http://www.portlanddancing.com/moreinfo.aspx?moreinfo=3800
Tomorrow (from 7pm, with a quick beginner introduction)
http://www.portlanddancing.com/moreinfo.aspx?moreinfo=2230

I’d be happy to have people tag along, and wouldn’t mind explaining the
steps either.

Greetings,
Joachim

if you want to tag along, be at the MAX light rail stop between the dorm
and the building with food (SW 6th & College St) at 9:10pm. I would be
glad not to go alone. This might also be a nice thing to do for
accompanying attendees.

Greetings,
Joachim

[Debconf-discuss] Swing Dancing in Heidelberg

2015-08-08 Thread Joachim Breitner
Dear fellow DebCamp and DebConf attendees,

time to plan some diversions...

I greatly enjoy Swing dancing (Lindy Hop, Charlston), and I had great
fun doing that last year in portland. So I figured it would be nice to
do that in Heidelberg as well. There is an active Swing dancing
community, but most of it is on summer holidays. There is, however, one
open practice session still going on: every Mondays at 20:30, 30
minutes by foot from the venue:
https://www.google.com/calendar/render?eid=Y2VmcjZwYW9hYjJlYmtkdnNwN285amQyNjRfMjAxNTA4MTBUMTgzMDAwWiBzd2luZ2RhbmNlLmhlaWRlbGJlcmdAbQ&ctz=Europe/Berlin&sf=true&output=xml#eventpage_6

So if you want to tag along next Monday, you are most welcome. If you
don’t know the steps, I’ll be happy to show you.

During DebConf it unfortunately collides with Enricos show and the
Cheese&Wine party – we’ll see.

Greetings,
Joachim

some people indicated interest, so if you are among them, come to the
main exit at 20pm and we will walk from there.

Greetings,
Joachim

just wondering: Is there a reason why your (very appreciated!) swimming
opportunity reconnaissance seems to ignore the pool right next to us:
