Leaving for Kochi airport in the night/morning 3am
Heya, I got a small cab picking me up at 3am "tomorrow" . I'm certainly not going to sleep, so it's actually "logical today". I can take a +1, if there's any interest. The first person who answers get's it. See you then (it will be some time before I check my mails again). It's already payed for. -- Cheers, Evangelos PGP: B938 6554 B7DD 266B CB8E 29A9 90F0 C9B1 8A6B 4A19

One difference is (obviously) in price: The small cab to the airport should be 1800 IKR while the large one costs 2800 IKR. In terms of passengers I was surprised that it was basically +-1 and the main difference apparently being how much luggage will fit in the trunk (or wherever the cab driver ends up putting it) I asked relatively early (~5days ago?) and maybe I'm not reproducing what the lady at the reception had said bit by bit, but this is pretty much how I remember it.

PSA: I want to do a thing
Fellow debianites, I hope you are all doing well. I'm currently sitting in Chambra and with everything that has been going on :'( I want to throw a ... party is not the quite the right word. But yeah something. I will see about making this a private area for the evening where we can get together one more time and do things. I was thinking that we can get joostvb, joeino and myself to DJ a little bit (and perhaps others, but these three people I trust when it comes to music - the live coding thing has always been very awesome, so yeah. There is also a beamer, so I'm sure joeino can do some awesome things. I will be personally responsible for making sure that the room will be in a good shape for the DebMed BoF the next morning on Sunday at 10:30. [0] Word of warning: My music will definitely be of the more depressive variety: NIN e.g. and some german hiphop (to get some idea of what kind of music I am talking about have a look at [0][1]). I find this music to be quite fitting the circumsstances ... Since this is right next to noisy this should mean that people who do not wish to join (either because they just aren't in the mood - perfectly understandable - or who just value their sleep - again, very understandable) will not get disturbed. Please consider though that *outside* and especially on the hallways you should really be quiet. More information to follow later. I'm thinking an appropriate time to start would be 2100. No dress code! Ideally we can also cover the one camera up in the corner (having talked with the hotel about this of course) so that it is truly a *private* space, as opposed to what appears to be considered "private". If anyone has some more ideas, feel free to answer this email or approach me in person.

I can definitely see that #907 was a more than suboptimal room to be put in at this particular point in time, especially having just arrived (and probably very tired/jetlagged from the travel) *and* with a small child! > After tiredly unpacking all our stuff I got to read > some IRC backlog and decided to move away as soon as I got to know > there was > about 20 folks consuming alcohol and making music in the room beside > ours a few > minutes before -- and that being only the prelude of something to be > repeated > in the coming days. Point is taken and as I said in the other email I'll be sure to be as considerate as humanly possible in the future. One more thing: So this was the first party in my room and I had already had some premonition that it *may* get out of hand when I did anounce to debconf-discuss about it happening. > Please remember that some people prefer to sleep at night, rather > than hacking > or partying -- yes yes, even during a Debconf!

This I was actually not aware of: My neighbors next door (the other side) were in my room. And when I apologized the person staying in the opposite room this morning they basically smiled and said "it's fine, don't worry". Of course this does not mean that we didn't overdo it. We most certainly did. And while admittedly it was a very fun party.

Yes, they came by and I've made sure to turn down the volume and (repeatedly) asked my room guests to keep it down.

As a data point: I did not bring a copy of my glorious vaccination certificate and noone wanted to see this (during FrontDesk registration). Of course I did mention that I am fully vacccinated (and have also stated so during my registration).
