DebConf Announcements for Thursday, 2016-07-07 highvoltage says: I could never get the hang of Thursdays.
== T-shirts == If your t-shirt is the incorrect size, swap t-shirts now, as we're going to start selling the remainder tomorrow. There are no shirts smaller than M available. Shirts will be on sale at R350 each. Bags for R400. == Conference Dinner tomorrow (Friday) == Please sign up for a bus to get to the conference dinner at https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf16/Conf-dinner. Our buses depart at 16:00, 17:00, 18:00 and 18:30. If you take an early bus to the dinner, you may not actually get into the aquarium. We are trying to make this possible this and will report back. As things stand, you'll need to buy a ticket. R150 at the Aquarium, R135 online at: * http://www.aquarium.co.za/content/landing-page/plan-your-trip. Return buses run from 10pm to midnight. If you stay out after that, use a taxi. Cow says: Why do scuba divers fall backwards into the water? Because if they fell forwards they’d still be in the boat. == Safety == Heaters: Using halogen heaters (that we have) is not allowed in Fuller in general, we have been granted special permission to do so. To prevent damage, make sure there's at least one meter's distance between a heater and any non-living thing, and all are turned off if you're the last who leaves a room. Also, no more than 2 heaters per wall socket. Laptops/hardware: Remember that the conference venue is a public space and anyone can wonder through there without access control. We had an incident this morning where unattended personal hardware got stolen during the group photo, and it's really sad when that happens. ctpc says: Thieves make ctpc very angry!!! Always encrypt your mobile data!!! == Assistance for stolen laptops == 3 attendees had their personal laptops stolen this morning :( We're running a collection at the front desk, to help them get replacements. == Bursaries == Today is the last chance to bring your hard copy documents to bursaries for re-imbursement, 1200h to 1400h at front desk.
