[EuroPython] Reharsals of first-time speakers
Hello, on Sunday July 1st, 15:00 - 19:00, a few first-time speakers will be given the chance to rehearse their talk to improve their public speaking skills. We are looking for a few people that might be interested in attending these rehearsals, both acting as public and, at the end of each talk, giving suggestions to the speaker (were the slides clear? was there any slowness/boring part? etc.). You basically just need to come to the venue, watch a few talks, and comment on them to help out first-timers. if you are interested in helping out, please reply to this mail. We are aiming at gathering 10-20 people in total. Thanks! -- Giovanni Bajo EuroPython 2012 https://ep2012.europython.eu Python Italia APS Non-profit association Registered in Italy ___ EuroPython 2011 - Florence June 20-26 http://ep2011.europython.eu/ EuroPython mailing list EuroPython@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython

Does anybody know how fast is the 3G provided by the 20€ local SIM cards that we've been offered to purchase? And what is the data usage limit on them? In general, are they an OK substitute for wifi?

That's he meant I had the same experience. 3G was barely usable at the hotel.

Hi Erik, the 3G SIM is nominally UMTS 7.2Mbps. Actual speed is usually around 1 Mbit/s. It should work OK for mail, mobile web browsing, etc. It feels obviously slow on a computer. The conference center has thick walls, so within the rooms you don't always get 3G signal; in that case, your phone will fallback to 2G EDGE which is obviously much slower. I live in Italy and use 3G all the times; it's an OK substitute for wifi to me, eg: I never pay for wifi in hotels when I travel around Italy. Obviously your mileage may vary. -- Giovanni Bajo EuroPython 2012 https://ep2012.europython.eu Python Italia APS Non-profit association Registered in Italy ___ EuroPython 2011 - Florence June 20-26 http://ep2011.europython.eu/ EuroPython mailing list EuroPython@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython
Re: [EuroPython] Free Wifi zones in Florence
As I understand, 3G signal is weak in the hotel and the hotel wifi is overcrowded. Therefore, could we consider setting up one (or more) of our own 3G devices (outside the wall, e.g. on a window) that shares itself over wifi to the conference guests? Unless of course it's too much fuss, or too expensive, or both.

Re: [EuroPython] Free Wifi zones in Florence
Please do not do it. We are working very hard to provide a top-notch wi-fi experience and the last thing we need is random radio devices that interfere with our access points. We worked on all fronts to improve connectivity; more bandwidth, more radio apparatus and the experience of very smart guys.

Actually, the worst times were during the plenary sessions. My guess is that with 600 geeks sitting in one hall, most carrying a laptop and a smartphone, with wifi, 3G and bluetooth, radio interference was a major factor. Let's not make it worse.
