I had a nice quiet meal there yesterday afternoon ~18:00.

Although I'm sure people can present counter-examples for specific instances, I
suspect that using a travel agent would result in cost-savings on average.  It
may also result in opportunities to consolidate - e.g. it would be difficult for
a given attendee to arrange to buy tickets in a block for a group of attendees,
but a travel agent could do this easily.

[Debconf-discuss] Java Team BoF follow-on meeting 8/28 @ 11:00, outside of 238

2014-08-27 Thread tony mancill
Let's take advantage of the 11:00-11:45 "Hacking Time" built into the
schedule on Thursday to talk about what the Java Team can focus on
between now and the freeze.

We can meet outside of the 2nd floor hack lab (Room 238) at 11:00 and
then figure out where we can talk (maybe in the park if the weather is
still nice).

Thank you,
tony
