To keep everyone up to date, I am still looking for a local sponsorship
here in Zagreb for the trip (I didn't get feedback from my university yet,
for example). The prospects don't look too good, though.

If things don't work out and a GNUstep-friendly company is willing to
sponsor cca EUR 150-200 (or less, if I manage to cover a part of the
costs) for the round trip, just send me an email.

Yes, the final dates are the 1-3rd of July, optionally arriving on the 
preceding weekend.  If anyone is planning on attending and is not already on my 
list, please let me know which dates you will need accommodation for.  We have 
a set of college rooms available for £56+VAT/night each (£66/night if you want 
to fit two people in them).

And, after sending that, I heard back from Trinity Hall, and they do have space 
for the original dates (single rooms only, bed and breakfast of £66.00 +VAT or 
a room only rate of £56.00 +VAT).  It's at their Wychfield site[1], which is a

recommend hiring a bicycle for the week (I'll see if we can do a group booking 
- Station Cycles gave us a discount last time we did this, but without the 
discount it's £25 for a week) and that means it's about 5 minutes cycle ride 
from either the computer lab or the city centre.  

Assuming that there are no objections to this, please can everyone let me know 
their exact dates as soon as possible so that I can book it?  

If you need a double room or have other constraints, I can try to find 
something else.  I'd usually use the Møller Centre for that, but they're 
completely booked on the Monday night.  I can try to find a Fellows' Guest Room 
for that night though.

I've been chasing college accommodation, but it's proving difficult (still 
waiting for one college).  The term ends the preceding week and most students 
are still allowed to keep their rooms for the following weekend (and parents / 
friends are taking all of the empty ones for graduation parties and so on).  It 
looks like accommodation becomes a lot easier if we start on the Wednesday and 
run through to the Sunday, or if we shift to a week later.  So we have three 
options:

1) Keep the current dates and I'll try to find guest houses / hotels for people.

suchlike

It should be a Passport or National ID card,  and looks like it is based on EEA

The UK, RoI, Channel Islands and IoM [1] operate external border controls wrt

I didn't want to chime in too much, because it's very doubtful that my finances 
would permit attendance (similar to why I didn't go to FOSDEMs).

But, if I participate in GSoC (I'll write another mail on that) and depending 
on GSoC's payment schedule, or alternatively if a magic fairy spawns some cash 
under my pillow, I might attend.

I haven't traveled outside Croatia at all, so some of the questions are bound 
to be silly.

Does anyone have some tips on coming to Cambridge from Croatia as cheaply as 
possible?

Also, from July 1st Croatia is in EU (or so they say). Does anyone know what's 
the visa regime when it comes to UK? Do I need a passport?

Yay!

There are a few options.  The cheapest way of getting to Cambridge from 
Heathrow is the bus (national express).  This is quite convenient, as it leaves 
from the airport and arrives in the middle of Cambridge, but it's also the 
slowest.  The fastest is to take the Heathrow Express from Heathrow to 
Paddington, then take the underground from Paddington to Kings Cross, then take 
the train from Kings Cross to Cambridge.  I don't really like this because it 
involves two changes and both of them involve walking from one end of a station 
to the other.  The best compromise in terms of effort, cost and speed is 
usually to take the tube from Heathrow to Kings Cross (which takes about an 
hour, so bring a book...) and then the train from Kings Cross to Cambridge.

For the trains to Cambridge, make sure you look at the board at Kings Cross 
that tells you when the fastest train to various destinations is.  Some trains 
are direct, some stop at a load of small stations along the way.  The direct 
trains take about 45-50 minutes, the slow ones take about an hour and a half, 
so waiting 10 minutes can often get you there half an hour earlier.

If you're coming from Germany, you have two other choices, depending on where 
you are.  If you can take the Eurostar, it arrives in Kings Cross, so you just 
change there and go straight to Cambridge.  Alternatively, you may be able to 
fly into London Stansted, which is not too far from Cambridge.  There are 
busses and trains, which take a similar amount of time (again, the bus arrives 
closer to the city centre than the train).

1--3rd July is also fine for me. My tentative plan is to arrive on
Saturday and to spend a few more days in the UK after the hackathon, so
if you could find room for three people (me + wife + kid) between
Saturday and Thursday, that would be pretty great. (should it prove
difficult, I'm also happy to organise that myself...)

Sorry if I caused any confusion, I was intending to reply to David, and ask him 
if there was accommodation for me to stay Sunday and Wednesday night.  I was 
not intending to suggest that other people must do the same.
But it's interesting to know that you will be bringing AR classes to play with 
a little.

I would guess the route (unless hiring a car) would be the underground from 
Heathrow to Kings-Cross station, and a train from there to Cambridge, but it's 
a long time since I went to Cambridge: David would know for sure what the best 
route is.

Hi All

If it's OK I would like a few minutes to present our company, what we want
to do with GNUstep and also, let you try our prototype AR glasses.

Maybe 10 minutes for presentation and 20-30 minutes for demo if we are ~10
people.

Of course, the glasses will be with me all the time so anyone can try at
any time.

I'll be flying in from Germany or Japan. What is the recommend way to
travel from Heathrow (I suppose it will be). I guess train from Germany is
also an option.

Staying Sunday and Wednesday night as well is no problem.

Re: [RFC] Cambridge Hackathon

[David Chisnall]

How does the first  half of the first week in July sound (1-3rd, Monday, 
Tuesday Wednesday).  I can try to find accommodation for people for then, and 
optionally for the weekend before if people want to hang around then.

If some people are willing to give talks, we might be able to cover some of the 
costs from various grants.

Are we any closer on deciding a date?
During how many days are we doing this by the way?

Looks like Eric might come. He just replied to your previous mail few days ago

It doesn't really matter.

I'd prefer something relatively cheap. But I can pay a bit more if needed.

1) Whichever is possible but mid-week preferred.
2) What is the estimated price for the two types? Is student accommodation
shared or private room?

x) How many days are we doing this?

Re: [RFC] Cambridge Hackathon

[Lars Sonchocky-Helldorf]

I am also potentially interested in attending the hackathon, although it 
remains to be seen if I am able to attend. It is possible that I know this only 
a very short time before the event. For accommodation I wouldn't need much, I 
have a sleeping bag and a sleeping pad so some space on the floor somewhere 
would be sufficient for me.

cheers,

Lars

I am still very much interested in this meeting, but wont be able to
attend on the very last weekend in June. It would be great to find some
other date for it.

Whether we have the meeting during the week or over the weekend is of no 
concern to me. I hope to be in the UK for two weeks of holiday and will 
be able to make it anyway. (Apart from that last weekend in June).


You should put some numbers to the rooms, to make it easier to decide. 
And if these are rooms within some of the older colleges I may even 
decide to stay there as well. In which case I would need a double room.

That really depends on the actual date ... in the abstract I guess it doesn't 
much matter to me.

I'm all in favour of cheap.

Hey David,
Sorry, another of my extraordinarily late replies :-(

I'd love to come out for this. Some time in late June / early July sounds good.

I'm a bit late to reply to this one but I was away for vacations. The end of 
June or the beginning of July would be just fine for me.

I am interested and a date in June would fit my plans. I was thinking of 
going to the UK for two weeks of holiday this summer anyway.
Most likely I wont need a college accommodation, there should be some 
old colleague in Cambridge where I may stay over these days.

Hi Everyone,

Since we didn't get a DevRoom at FOSDEM this year, there was some discussion 
about having a hackathon in Cambridge.  The term finishes on the 18th of June, 
after which it is likely to be a lot easier to put people up in college 
accommodation.  Who would be interested, and what are your date preferences?
