Re: Boston Summit logistics (was Re: Desktop Summit Planning)
Hi Richard, Henry Holtzman at the Media Lab and Walter Bender has helped us in the past. They have work with the registrar's office at http://web.mit.edu/registrar/www/schedules/ though that link seems outdated. This one seems to be the correct one - http://web.mit.edu/registrar/classrooms/reserve/index.html -- John (J5) Palmieri ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list

Is there any chance you can reach the previous MIT contact to ask him who he spoke with about rooms in the Tang Center? That way I won't have to hunt for the right person. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!

Thanks. Now I know enough to raise the issue on Monday. If room booking only starts in March, maybe I can at least find out if it will be allowed. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!

Stata Center rooms: - Kirsch Auditorium - Room 124 - Room 144 - Room 154 - Hallway between those rooms for a registration + food table (more details https://live.gnome.org/Boston2005/TheSchedule) Alternatively, in 2006 we were in the Media Lab: - Bartos Theatre - Rothschild Room - Wiesner Room - Room 235 - Room 135 - Room 483A - Room 443A - "Cool Hangout Room" (more details https://live.gnome.org/Boston2006) In 2008, 2009, & 2010 we were at the MIT Sloan Tang Center / E51 Building: - E51-315 - E51-325 - E51-335 - E51-345 - E51-372 - E51-376 - Hallway between those rooms for a registration + food table (more details https://live.gnome.org/Boston2010) I'm not sure which is the economics building (I guess E51?)

I never went to a Boston Summit in the Stata Center, but in 2004 and 2005, we had rooms 124 and 144 (according to schedules on the wiki: http://live.gnome.org/Boston2004/TheSchedule and http://live.gnome.org/Boston2005/TheSchedule) In the last few years, I think we had E51-315, E51-325, E51-335, E51-345 (in the Tang Center).

Thanks so much for offering to look into this, Richard! I hear that the Stata Center was a better location in the past than the Economics Building if we have the choice... When it was in the Stata Center, which rooms were they? If I get the room numbers, I will know exactly what to ask for. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
