Hi, At 1:30pm today (Tuesday) in room 329, please join my colleague Eric Johnson and me to hack on the Debian support for Google's cloud. Useful things you can do: * Help us package our tools or the several dependencies (all are DFSG-free) * Try building Debian images for GCE (it's easy!) and see if you might want to do this for future images officially shipped to customers * Talk to us to try our cloud for free and get a feel for it * Ask us questions or give us feedback Hope to see you there! If you can't make it, find us any time this week. We also have a session Friday at 14:30 to summarize and discuss this effort. - Jimmy Kaplowitx ji...@debian.org ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss

[Debconf-discuss] Please Be Courteous And Respectful Of Our Hosts
Hello, everyone! I'm glad DebConf14 is off to a great start and is going so well! I'd like to take a moment to remind everyone to please be courteous and respectful of our hosts and neighbors. Our hosts at Portland State University have gone above and beyond in making sure we are comfortable and the conference can be an overwhelming success. Please bear in mind, though, that (unfortunately) Oregon laws restrict our enjoyment of some adult beverages, and thus to comply, we are restricted to alcohol consumption in our dorm or hotel rooms (or at pubs/bars/restaurants/private parties, etc.). Mark, our host at Broadway and Ondine, was very accommodating in getting us a night hacklab setup, and we very much don't want to repay his kindness by getting him in trouble with campus security and Portland police. I have also been told that the cheese and wine party was a successfully fun evening (as always!). Thank you to everyone who made that happen, and a big thank you to our hosts at Puppet Labs for sharing their facility with us for the evening. Please remember to be respectful of all of our hosts. We have a history of leaving venues better than when we arrived at them, and impressing everyone with how awesome and courteous Debian Developers are in general. Thank you to everyone who has helped thus far, and thank you to those who will help in the near future as well!

It would be cool to have a cycling session; probably, a good moment to schedule it would be Friday or Saturday (29 or 30) between 17:00 and 19:00. Allison kindly pointed me to the Bike Gallery, which rents bikes. The price is at US$35 for 4 hours. Who would be interested in joining the trip? Count me in :) I also wanted to point out that the PSU bike hub (on the corner of Harrison and 6th, two blocks away from the venue) seems to have bikes for rent as well, and for a better price: http://www.pdx.edu/bikehub/dailyweekly-rentals Apollon ___ 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
[Debconf-discuss] DayTrip Itinerary and Details
Hello, everyone! With the DayTrip quickly approaching (TOMORROW, OMG), we have some important notes. === DEPARTURE INFORMATION === == Hikers == For the Hiking Group, even if you are on the wait list, please be ready to leave the red block on the map[0] at 7:45 am. The bus will be leaving at 8:00 am promptly and breakfast will be distributed on the bus enroute to the gorge. If you are on the list to go hiking, and you are not present at 7:45 am, you may lose your spot to the next person on the wait list that is present. I highly recommend punctuality. :) == Less Strenuous Group == For the less strenuous, but still outside and enjoying the gorge group, please be ready to leave the red area[0] at 9:00 am. It will take time to situate everyone on buses and get prepared to leave. We will not have breakfast for you guys, but Ondine will be open regular breakfast hours, so please get your fill before meeting us at 9:00 am. === Itinerary [1] === == Hikers == You will be departing PSU at 8:00 am *sharp*, and heading straight for Multnomah Falls. We will have maps to distribute to you. Please be sure you have your water bottles. Once all sub-groups have completed the hike, you will be bused to our central location to meet up with the other groups and enjoy lunch at Rooster Rock State Park. We will have your lunches there waiting. After lunch and recreation, you will join one of the other groups to see Vista House, and get a spectacular view of the Columbia River Gorge. You will then return back to PSU campus for showers or whatever you need before meandering to Punch Bowl Social for our conference dinner. == Less Strenuous Group == You will either be starting at Multnomah Falls, meeting up at Rooster Rock State Park for recreation, then finishing the Gorge trip at Vista House, or you will start at Vista House, meet up at Rooster Rock State Park for recreation, then finish the Gorge trip at Multnomah Falls. For specific time-frames, please see the itinerary linked above. == Both Groups == Please note that there is potential for swimming at Rooster Rock State Park. If you wish to swim (it will be warm!!), please make sure you pack your swimsuit and a towel. Please be courteous to our organizers and fellow DayTrippers and be punctual at each stop to ensure a timely return to campus. === DayTrip Completion === All buses will return to PSU by 5:30 pm. You will have an hour to freshen up and head over to Punch Bowl Social to join everyone for the Conference Dinner [2]. === Other info === If you get separated from the group and need to reconnect, the Front Desk line will be open: +1 503 740 9606. If you have a special dietary request, please be sure you identify yourself when picking up your sack lunch at Rooster Rock State Park.

[Debconf-discuss] Werewolf
Howls have been heard coming from the second floor of the Broadway dorms. A game of Werewolf is starting in about twenty minutes on the 2nd floor of the Broadway dorm. (~2030 local time) If you can't get into the Broadway dorm, please hit me (hlieberman) up on OFTC and I will come let you in.
