[LUAU] TPOSSCON Registration...or NOT?
Alle, I registered for TPOSSCON on the website and received my PAYPAL verification receipt. This was on the 17th of December. Does anyone know whether I should expect any other e-correspondence from the conference registration folks, or is the PAYPAL receipt my Welcome to TPOSSCON? Should I just bring a copy of my receipt to the registration desk in case there are any problems? Also, did the convention get any deals with local hotels for special room rates? I found nothing on the Where to stay section of the website regarding this. Best Regards, Camron Camron W. Fox Hilo Office High Performance Computing Group Fujitsu America, INC.

A badge will be printed for you, so unless another Camron Fox shows up, with ID, and claims it, you will need only your drivers license. I suppose that at this point your receipt is your Welcome to TPOSSCON! greeting. Not very good, so I appreciate the feedback. I will work with the webmasters to improve this. Expect a letter from the organizers at the turn of the year. If you have any trouble when you arrive, ask for me. Also, did the convention get any deals with local hotels for special room rates?

Several Sheraton properties have offered special TPOSSCON rates http://www.tposscon.com/where_to_stay.php and Aloha Airlines is our official carrier. You can get 15% off of published rates by mentioning the conference. Our webmasters are working on getting this information up. You will need the registration code that I am mailing you privately. We are working on adding this to your registration email. The Aloha Airlines details are They will just need to call in to our reservations department at 484- (Oahu), Neighbor Islands 1-800-367-5250, U.S. Mainland and Canada 1-800-367-5250/1-877-879-2564 and advise the agent that they are attending the conference. The code is xxx. This promotional fare is valid from January 14, 2005 through January 31, 2005. Best Regards, Camron aloha --scott
