[Debconf-discuss] flyers for upcoming events
We are organizing another conference "netdev 2.2" in November, about the networking subsystem of the Linux kernel. Is it OK if we bring a bunch of flyers for it? Are you going to have a place to put flyers/cards for upcoming events, like the IETF does? (So you know what this is about and can make an informed decision: netdevconf.org/2.2/) bjb ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
Re: [Debconf-discuss] Cycling on the weekend of Aug 5?
I set up a couple of shorter routes in graphhopper, one for Lafontaine park and one for Ile Ste. Helene. Again, I do not know if there is construction on these roads ... or if the destinations are no longer nice. But they used to be fabulous places for picnics - I'm hoping they still are. Conference venue to Lafontaine Park: https://graphhopper.com/maps/?point=45.550812%2C-73.554111&point=45.525172%2C-73.57132&locale=en-US&vehicle=bike&weighting=fastest&elevation=true&use_miles=false&layer=Omniscale Conference venue to Ile Ste. Helene (brings you right past Habitat). I had to tweak graphhopper to make the route go where I expected (did not want to have to go on Jacques Cartier bridge). https://graphhopper.com/maps/?point=45.550662%2C-73.553724&point=45.509114%2C-73.550463&point=45.497383%2C-73.552694&point=45.515008%2C-73.53467&locale=en-US&vehicle=bike&weighting=fastest&elevation=true&use_miles=false&layer=Omniscale Hmm, according to this page there will be construction on Ile Ste. Helene all summer. http://www.parcjeandrapeau.com/en/aquatic-complex-pool-swimming-competitions-montreal/ Rats. There is a beach on the other island though ... plage Jean Dore. http://www.parcjeandrapeau.com/en/jean-dore-beach-sand-swimming-sun-montreal/ For those who do not want to cycle there, the metro yellow line goes to Ile Ste. Helene and you can walk to the beach. bjb On Fri, Jul 28, 2017 at 1:57 PM, Brenda Butler wrote: > For shorter rides, you could go for a picnic at Ile Ste. Helene, Parc > Lafontaine, or Mont Royal.

Re: [Debconf-discuss] Cycling on the weekend of Aug 5?
For shorter rides, you could go for a picnic at Ile Ste. Helene, Parc Lafontaine, or Mont Royal. On Sundays, there is a Tam-Tam Jam on the east side of Mont Royal, there are usually rogue unofficial food vendors so if you are willing to eat their food, you won't have to bring your own. It has been a very long time since I was in Montreal though, I do not know the status of the roads in those areas. And I'm not super familiar with Graphhopper, sorry ... bjb On Fri, Jul 28, 2017 at 8:13 AM, Thomas Lange wrote: > > On Fri, 28 Jul 2017 14:02:01 +0200, "W.
