-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everybody! Those not interested in coming over to the FOSDEM 2010 happening next weekend in Brussels, Belgium, can stop reading here. For the others some stuff to keep in mind:
1) Things you should not forget to pack: - If you stay at 2go4 (true for most Wesnoth people): don't forget to bring a towel. - Bring Euro coins (1, 2, .5, .2 and .1)! The reason is simple: Close to the hacking room is a vending machine that is a little cheaper than the official sale of drinks at FOSDEM and the drinks are cooled. The problem: you need coins to feed it! Beside this buying tickets is cheaper when getting them from the automats available at basically every station. When buying from the driver you pay a little more. - Don't forget your laptops plus power supplies if you plan on hacking. - Don't forget to take your mobile phone with you and take the power supply for it either. - Some people should take power extension cords as well as some multi outlets with them. That is I will take some with me and mordante already said that he plans on taking some, too. Though if you are coming over to FOSDEM by car you might want to consider putting some into your trunk. 2) The list of normal talks is already/finally available at the FOSDEM website as pdf. You might want to download [1] it and have a look at the list of talks to get an idea what you want to do beside talking about Wesnoth and hacking on it. 3) As the last years we will most likely conquer the first row of the hacking room AW1.115. So if we don't meet before, you should be able to find some Wesnoth people there. 4) We will most likely meet already Friday afternoon/evening and have dinner at the same Greek (hey, great country name, so close to 'geek'... ;) ) restaurant we were at over the last years. Prices were affordable and food was good. At [2] you can find a link with approximate google maps coordinates. It should be at this street and the coordinates should be correct +-50m. 5) All people with access to the hidden moderators forum should have a look at the list of phone numbers [3] and save some of those so that you can easily call/message some of the others (makes coordinating a meeting a lot easier!). 6) Those who have no idea how some of us look can have a look at the 2008 group photo [4]. Of the people shown in the photo at least boucman, Ivanovic, Mordante, Noyga and YogiHH plan to participate in this years FOSDEM. IMO it would be a good idea if someone coming over to FOSDEM could bring a (usable) digicam so that we can make a new photo. 7) For those who have no idea how weather will look this weekend: Current forecasts (eg. [5]) say something about temperatures between 0°C and 10°C combined with some rain. More information about what we want to do at FOSDEM as well as some maps and stuff about transportation is available in the wesnoth wiki at [6]. This year I don't plan to release a new beta at FOSDEM, but maybe there will be one right afterwards. I am not sure yet. Looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible, Nils Kneuper aka Ivanovic [1] http://fosdem.org/2010/schedule/schedule.pdf [2] http://maps.google.de/maps?q=50.845731,4.35312&num=1&t=h&sll=50.846281,4.354727&sspn=0.112791,0.256119&ie=UTF8&ll=50.84571,4.353142&spn=0.00148,0.001741&z=19 [3] http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=283311#283311 [4] http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=283649#p283649 [5] http://www.wetter.com/wetter_aktuell/wettervorhersage/7_tagesvorhersage/?id=BE0BR0029 [6] http://wiki.wesnoth.org/FOSDEM2010 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAktm10oACgkQfFda9thizwULmwCghtTQUHoEAy7V+7m44IKKfH4c ugsAn3dFja6L8gY3dxIE5PPspBzksoUC =X71U -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Wesnoth-dev mailing list Wesnoth-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/wesnoth-dev
