[Debconf-discuss] West Coast Swing dancing tonight 21:30
We had a nice West Coast Swing dancing session in the Foyer last evening and I've been asked for another one. I think nobody was bothered by the music and the reduced light in the Foyer? So I'll be there again tonight at 21:30 and teach and practice WCS with whoever is interested. Is it possible to have this put into the schedule? You're also welcome to just watch.

It kills me to hear the nice music at the reception and not having danced for more than a week. Since there is no other program: Is anybody interested in a spontaneous West Coast Swing workshop this evening? What would be a good room to use? Heidelberg might be fine if we make a bit more space in the front. Can we use the sound system?

I evaluated quickly one of them: http://www.youthhostel.ch/en/hostels/st-moritz Hi Ana, I also feel a bit worried about the current situation. I'm personally fine with le camp but I understand that many others have issues. I was looking for hotel prices in my home region[1] (Ruhr area, Germany) just for curiosity minutes before your email. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruhr.2010 Just by quickly searching the net I get quotes around 50 Euros/night in a 4- Star conference Hotel.

It was on sale, but a 225 euro round-trip seems reasonably likely. The very cheapest special offer singles on the day train Munich-Zagreb are Eur39, dep Munich 0652 arriving Zagreb 1533. The sleeper, which I will be taking on the way back, depends on the quality of accomodation and the number of people. Here is what seat61 says: 3. Munich to Zagreb on the Lisinski: In a seat: In a couchette In the sleeping-car 6-berth 4-berth 3-berth 2-berth single One way 29 49 59 69 79 139 Return58 98 118 138 158 278 (All the above are the cheapest available special offer fares.) I will be travelling back on the sleeper departing on Sunday the 31st of July in the sleeping car, and would be happy to share with 2 or 3 other Debconf attendees. I will need to know by before the 1st of May who will be joining me, as that's when bookings open. thanks for the info. 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 :-) I did not find any suitable train of bus connection from either Zagreb nor Novska to Banja Luka. In Romania prices to rent a bus are amazingly cheap so I'd very much prefer to kindly ask our hosts to arrange this for us. If I'd end up being the only one coming from Zürich, I could also switch to take the other train from Munich with you.
