Hi all! Some comments and information from the local organizers on epc2006:
Rooms and infrastructure: - rooms are booked and confirmed. - we prebooked open space for that and need to confirm it. - we have prepared network for conference and sprints and some conference printers. - for registraiton we need the MAC addresses of the laptops to make our live easier. The CERN IT is a little bit peculiar with that. - at CERN you get access cards. I prepared special ones with the EPC logo. We have to fix the numbers of cards to print. No problem if there are to few - then we just get the normal ones. Website: - I propose using the INDICO software project funded by the EU. There is a group at CERN willing to support us. (http://indico.web.cern.ch/ indico/index.html). What's your opinion? PR: - we could print conference posters in our print shop but we need someone to design it. - since you can get T-shirts at CERN and at every conference I propose conference coffee cups. I have plenty of conference shirts but I don't wear them at all. - in the next CERN courier will be an article about Europython. (CERN courier is a journal which is read by most of the particle physicists) Tracks and talks: - Should we have a poster session? - I would like to have a talk about CERN and the role of CERN in physics and computing science. Is there time for that? Fees and registration: - we have to decide the conference fees soon. - if there are people from outside EU or Schengen needing a visa they should register early enough that CERN has time to help with that. That's all for the moment.
