Shouldn't be impossible to have the laptop running and providing
a Wifi network to which I then connect from the passenger level.
Then I can basically do anything I want anyway. In short: if this
were a threat, laptops would need to be banned from all baggage. But
I don't see this threat.

… at least not while we're flying in airplanes where toys with
bluetooth are taken off children (just happened…). Since the
aircraft can be disturbed with Bluetooth, I think we have a slew of
other issues anyway, so it's hard to see the tree in all that
forest.

Re: [Debconf-discuss] US laptop ban and DebConf

2017-03-25 Thread martin f krafft
Here's an alternative thought about this laptop ban:

http://m.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=11823052

Basically it says this is retaliation against Gulf airlines, because
apparently, US airlines are exempt from the laptop ban. If that's
the case — I did not verify — then an obvious solution (which may
not be the cheapest again) is to fly on US carriers.

Or — as said before — invest some extra money and avoid US airports
anyway, which I personally choose to do just for the sake of
dignity.

Do not fly via the US. I understand this might mean the cheapest
flight is not available to you, but some of the measures you propose
would mean additional expense on DebConf, in which case we might
just as well commit that money to helping people "upgrade" their
flights?

As much as I'd hate to place a bulk order for (presumably cheap)
sleeping bags manufactured by children in poor working conditions,
I am certain that the Caritas, Red Cross, Salvation Army, etc. would
take them, or just handing them out to people living on the streets

(it's hardly a new topic. In the past, we've even tried to
coordinate with other conferences well ahead of time. For instance,
DC15 reached out to CCCamp 20 months ahead of the conference, but
despite all these efforts, the conflict happened anyway)

While all this is unfortunate, I can't really see the benefit of
sharing all these conflicts; the dates for DC17 @ Montréal have been
set based on the available information at the time. We can't change
that anymore, lest not without huge efforts.

It would be really useful if people shared such information with the
team well ahead of time for 2018ff., e.g. using
  https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf18/FindingDates

While we cannot promise to avoid all conflicts, obviously, we can
certainly include these data in future decisions.

Hint: the current bids are aiming for June and July/August (too).

As long as his reason is not "I thought I was expected to canvas
everything and everyone so we have the maximal number of proposals
before we somehow make a decision and noone feels left out." It
wouldn't be the first time in dc-orga that we go out of our way to
avoid simple decisions.

If OTOH he and the DC17 team don't really like (their own?)
proposal, then I also don't see anything to speak against this. But
do keep in mind that August is a bad month to engage people, so
rather than reaching out further, maybe it'd be better to just
re-ping once the holiday month is over?

What's the problem we are trying to solve? We have a proposal.

I understand that DebConf is about open, democratic processes, which
is why we're expecting a call for speaker proposals before
approaching individual potentials.

In this particular case, however, I think we also need to consider
that no artist likes these sort of competitions, at least not a lot.
We're asking them to put thought and time into something with
a potentially minimal chance of being chosen.

The logo strikes me as something the team behind the proposal should
come up with. If they choose to ask for ideas or even tenders, then
they can, but I don't think we're gaining much from making this
a process we spend much time on.

[Debconf-discuss] Werewolves at DebConf16: Sunday 21:00 location tba.

2016-07-03 Thread martin f krafft
Hello,

rumour has it that there are (again) werewolves among us, and it's
time for diligent villagers to erradicate them beasts before they
devour us all. This will happen tonight from 21:00 in a location to
be announced. (do you know of a room we could use?)

Werewolf is a variation of Mafia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_(party_game) and it's become
a tradition at DebConf (since DC11 I believe). The game involves
bluffing, lies, and deceit, cheating on your friends, and watching
tables turn quickly against you. If this isn't your type of game, go
play Mao instead. ;)

If you haven't played, don't worry: it's easy to learn and you
should just try it.

Hope to see you there!

Wrraar,

[Debconf-discuss] Review the conference dinner restaurant

2015-08-21 Thread martin f krafft
Dear attendees,

Resonance from last night matches the enthusiasm of the staff at the
restaurant, in short: they loved having us and they really worked
hard to deliver near-perfect service.

They're a family-run business and would love to receive some
positive reviews. In fact, they rely on word-of-mouth.

Without endorsing any platform, if you feel strongly about the
quality of yesterday's dinner, please let the world know:

One solution might be to buy a drinks voucher with credit card and
sell it to someone else (or even just return it to the venue, they
will refund it).

Yesterday, I failed to get the pitch, but it's looking good for
Friday. So let's aim for a game at 19:00, which should allow us to
play intensely for a while, then shower and eat.

Go ahead and sign up. The more people, the less running ;)

I'm in for 2-on-2, but then again I think a 6-on-6 or 4-on-4 on our

Just be aware that we have a Barbeque at the venue instead of

Looking at
http://fahrplanauskunft.vrn.de/vrn/TTB/EFA10-3_7732_TP.pdf
there are indeed a few runs in a day that end at "Betriebshof". From
there, however, the main station is within walking distance.

[Debconf-discuss] Karaoke

2015-08-18 Thread martin f krafft
Apparently karaoke went to 7:00 this morning. Good job. Hopefully
nobody was annoyed, but the doors should have been closed and the
volume kept at a reasonable level.

The set is available all week and you're free to set it up and start
using it *but not before events in Berlin&London have ended*.

Also, when done for the night, ensure that the set is tidily put
away without obstructing the door, or else the video team will get
very sad.

Enjoy,

[Debconf-discuss] Sandwiches available for grabs

2015-08-17 Thread martin f krafft
Folks,

there are 30 baguettes with various fillings available at the bistro
for free. If you feel like a sandwich, come get one. They were
freshly made on Saturday in case we'd be too many hungry mouths, have been
cooled since and are tasty and fine, but whatever's not eaten today will need
to be thrown out.

If you're leaving today, you could also consider taking some along
to give to homeless on the street (there are quite a few near the
station).

[Debconf-discuss] Physio BoF today 14:00 Madrid

2015-08-17 Thread martin f krafft
Probably everyone at this conference has muscle pain, sore backs and
necks etc.. For several years now, I've been experimenting with
a product called Blackroll¹, hard rolls and balls that can be used
to massage and loosen fascial tissue.

¹) http://www.blackroll.com/

Prior to the conference, I took a chance and asked the manufacturer
to sponsor us a few sets for the conference, and they gladly
complied. I am not affiliated with them, but I am a big fan of their
products.

So if you're interested to learn a bit about fascial tissue and how
to use these rolls, come to Madrid at 14:00, ideally in relaxed
clothing.

I probably can't make 18:00, but if there are people interested less
in the currency/finance aspect of Bitcoin, but more in innovative
uses of the blockchain, I'd love to chat any time.

I've been an early supporter of Ethereum¹ and Counterparty², both of
which could e.g. replace Debian voting entirely, and I think there's
an amazing amount of potential here.

¹) Ethereum is a Turing-complete platform on the blockchain with
decentralisation and global consensus built

provides e.g. dividends and voting for shareholders of all kinds.
Think DEBCOIN. http://counterparty.io/

Probably that will be possible, especially since your needs are more

I already talked to the venue and while we cannot declare any

I agree with Richi, those three areas, as well as the blue tables,

[Debconf-discuss] Werewolf session Wednesday night, 21:00 o'clock

2015-08-11 Thread martin f krafft
Hello,

we are inviting to the game of Werewolf, a variation of Mafia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_(party_game)

The game starts Wednesday night at 21:00, location dependent on
temperatures. An update will follow short-term.

Here's a general idea of what to expect:

1. The players cohabitate a village, when suddenly, one morning,
   they find one of their own killed by werewolves over night.

2. The villagers know that the werewolves live amongst them (they
   morph to be villagers by day), but they do not know how many
   werewolves there are, or their identities. Only the werewolves
   know who their group, and they strive to hide this information
   until all the villagers have been killed (at which point the
   werewolves have won).

3. Through daytime, the villagers attempt to identify werewolves
   amongst themselves. Suspicious behaviour, the wrong word said at
   the wrong time, or just the villagers' desperation cause the
   villagers each day at dusk to kill one of their own, in the hope
   it's a werewolf. Only if the villagers kill all the werewolves
   will they survive (and win).

4. There are a number of special roles that make the game more
   interesting and give more space for lies, deceit and bluffs.
   We'll be playing variations: seers, healers, Cupid, barmen,
   Necromancer, Dentist… just to name a few. All the roles will be
   explained, obviously.

Hope to see you there!

Wrraar,

[Debconf-discuss] Going back to Munich by train post-DC15

2015-08-04 Thread martin f krafft
Folks,

is anyone of you planning to head back to Munich by train after
DebConf? Would you be willing to take my bike with you, since I have
to drive a car back which won't fit the bike. In exchange, I could
take heavy luggage by car or try to fulfill one of your wishes. You
also get to ride an awesome bike if you want!

Thanks,

[Debconf-discuss] The DC15 wiki

Hello DebConfers,

Just a few more nights and we'll convene in Heidelberg.

I just wanted to send out a quick reminder about our wiki, which is
the canonical place for all information about getting to the venue
and what life during DebConf15 will be like.

  https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf15

If you see anything inaccurate or have some information potentially
relevant to others, please take the time to update the wiki.

Information about getting an account and the situation around the
SSL certificate are detailed here:

But http://www.umwelt-plakette.de/umweltzone%20heidelberg.php

The hostel is west of the zone, right about where the river turns
north and it says "Neuenheimer Feld" on the map.

There will be a printer on site, we hope, but it'd certainly be

Don't use Google Maps. ;)

It is confusing, indeed, as the stop labelled Jogendherberge doesn't
correspond to a sensible connection.

Well, https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf15/CCCampTransport is
looking like a bus is coming within reach, but if not, then from
what I know, there'll be transport to a station in Berlin from where
you'll catch an ICE to Mannheim and then switch to the regional
train to Heidelberg; yes.

There are also bus operators, possibly operating at a cheaper price,
but someone else will have to tell you all about them.

This is a great idea.

On a related note, we'll have a X200 with Libreboot to give away at
DebConf15 during the (newly introduced) morning assemblies. This is
possible thanks to a generous donation by Marcus Möller from
Switzerland, who is doing this also to help point people at
http://shop.gluglug.org.uk/. Francis is the main developer of
Libreboot and the shop helps finance the development.

That said: if you (or your employer) have giveaways like this
(anything interesting to Debian geeks basically), please consider
donating them to DebConf, so that we can make the morning assemblies
even more attractive. It's a great way to spread buzz about
a product too.

The earlier you buy your tickets, the cheaper the price will be.

The university is across the road and in August, we expect their
parking lot to be empty. In general, parking out there should not be
a problem, especially if you're willing to leave the car a bit
further away.

That said, please do consider public transport; you'll find some of
the best in Germany.

The website at http://www.bahn.de/p_en/view/index.shtml can be used

[Debconf-discuss] CCCamp to DebConf15 transport by bus

2015-05-31 Thread martin f krafft
Folks,

If you're going to CCCamp and don't have transport organised yet,
there might be the possibility of a bus hire. This is not a promise
nor do we have a price, but in order to pursue this, we need to know
who's in. Public transport from the camp to Heidelberg seems to be
a pain anyhow.

Please add yourself to the list if you are interested and *prepared
to pay for this opportunity*. Of course it'll only make sense if the
price is sensible, so you can bank on that.

[Debconf-discuss] Travelling to/from DC15 by train — saver tickets

2015-05-23 Thread martin f krafft
Hello prospective DebConfers,

The German railway company offers so-called "saver tickets" to
people who know exactly which train they will take and book their
tickets well in advance, starting as low as 19 € and rising to
29€/49€/69€ while supplies last. These tickets can be bought
3 months in advance via http://bahn.de and DC15 is 3 months away,
hence here's a little reminder.

Availability is usually very low, so act quick if you need this
(though if you're just travelling from Frankfurt Airport, read on
below).

  Please refer to
  
https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf15/Welcome#How_to_get_to_Heidelberg_International
  for updates and new information as DebConf15 draws nearer.

For people travelling longer distances within Germany, we're also
offering special "event tickets" with a discount, see below. If you
own a BahnCard, you're likely going to fare better using that. There
are also often special offers for time-limited BahnCards, which may
be of interest to you. Generally, the website will give you the
offer while booking.

Please be aware that all saver tickets are only valid on the chosen
train(s) and a 17 € charge is incurred for changes, in addition to
possible fare upgrades. The saver tickets are also not transferable.

It is not cheaper to buy a return trip than it is to buy two
individual tickets, so you can easily opt for one saver ticket and
chose to remain flexible.

** Local transport tickets

When buying a ticket online, you'll have the option to add "City
mobil" which will allow you to travel from the main station to the
youth hostel. We strongly recommend everyone doing so to facilitate
your time at the main station and to avoid delays. The price is the
same.

Please remember that people travelling to DebConf with
a BahnCard-ticket will likely have the "+City" option included and
don't need this extra option.

** Frankfurt Airport

As most of you will be travelling via Frankfurt Airport, you
probably need not worry. A full-price, single-trip from the airport
to Heidelberg is 25 €, and the few saver tickets at 19 € will likely
be sold out quickly. Plus, flexibility is a bonus as one never knows
how long luggage takes etc.

** Event tickets

Thanks to a collaboration with FrOSCon and the CCC, we are able to
offer DebConf15 event tickets. These tickets are sinlge-price and
include the return trip no matter what distance within Germany you
are travelling and hence of special interest to those from Hamburg,
Berlin, Munich, even Düsseldorf, if you are not holder of a BahnCard
and you didn't get a saver ticket.

There's a saver option (specific train) available for 99 € in 2nd
class (159 € in 1st). If you need a full-flexible ticket, that'll be
139 € in 2nd class (199 € in 1st).

Unfortunately, the event tickets can only be purchased on the phone
by dialing +49 1806 311153¹ and quoting the code "CCC", payable by
credit card.²

  ¹) Mon–Sat, 07:00–22:00 (CEST); 20¢ from a German land-line, 60¢
 from a cell phone. International charges vary.
  ²) A small surcharge (~ 1€) will be asked for payments with credit
 card.

[Debconf-discuss] Childcare at DebConf15 — action required

2015-04-08 Thread martin f krafft
Dear (potential) DebConf attendee parents…

if you're interested in childcare options at DebConf15 (and future
DebConfs), please sign up to the debconf-kids mailing list:

  https://lists.debian.org/debconf-kids/

We realise that you may not feel comfortable talking about kids in
public, but this will be a good forum for us to send information
out. If you want to reply just to us organisers, you can always
address your replies to k...@debconf.org and we'll consider your
input anonymously.

Regarding DC15, I would like to specifically draw your attention to
the following message

  https://lists.debian.org/debconf-kids/2015/debconf-kids-201504/msg0.html

Right now, interest is too low and a decision needs to be made next
week, so unless you feel strongly and write in, we'll turn down the
offer.

Also, there's an idea floating about on a "Teckids" workshop at
DC15, targeting kids 8 and up. Again, currently interest here seems
low and we'd have to turn down the offer unless we know that there
are (several) kids between 8 and 16 attending.

Let us know!
