Hello, Happy DebConfers! DebConf in Portland is quickly approaching and we're applying the final touches on the social event plannings. You've had information about the Cheese & Wine Party and some general information about the DayTrip[0]. I'd like to get you more precise information about the DayTrip now that we have everything confirmed.
If you are interested in the 3-hour long rigorous hike, you should already be signed up for a slot on the early bus[1] (to leave at 8am on Wednesday morning). For those who aren't leaving on the early bus, we will be leaving Portland State University at 9:30am Wednesday morning, and also visiting the beautiful Columbia River Gorge, with stops at Multnomah Falls, Vista House and Rooster Rock State Park for our picnic lunch. * To enjoy everything without overcrowding, we're dividing the "later buses" into 2 groups, who will visit the same places, just in reverse order. * If you have already indicated you will be joining us on the DayTrip in Summit, we know who you are, and we're already planning for you to join us. * If you will be having people accompany you who are *not* registered in Summit, we need to know about them as soon as possible. We don't need specific information; a generic "+1" on our RSVP page[2] will suffice. * There have been concerns expressed that the later groups will have no recreation time. Please take a moment to read more about our History and Nature Adventure[2]. Piling people on a bus and not allowing them to interact with our beloved gorge was never the intention for this DayTrip. * The DayTrip page[0] has information about bus departures and where they will be leaving. We will have more precise information on how to pick up your sack lunch closer to the date. In summary - we're pleased and excited to share this historic and gorgeous slice of Oregon with everyone. Please make sure we have the information necessary to make this visit as enjoyable as possible!
