There's usually two concurrent tracks of talks. So it's not quite so much as FOSDEM but one still has to make a tough choice between two interesting talks at times ;) > When should I guy the Plane tickets? If you are certain you'll come the sooner the better I suppose. Alternatively as soon as either registration opens or travel details get put on the website (what with getting a recommendation for how to best get to the venue - what airport and such). > For what period? If you want to attend talks arriving sometime on Friday 24th would be good. > With how much time before the event should I be there? When > should I leave after the event? That entirely depends on whether you want to make it a vacation then you can arrive earlier and/or leave later. Most people usually travel on the Fridays (except for KDE e.v. members who arrive a day early). > Should I reserve a Hotel? Do we get accomodation? This isn't sorted yet I think. The akademy team would usually put up hotel/hostel/whatever recommendation list up on the website and possibly even get a special discount going with some place near the venue. You need to organize/reserve the accommodation yourself though, so if you want to stay in a special place you can certainly reserve earlier. I would wait for some official recommendations first. > Do I have to register somewhere? Yes. Well, you should otherwise you'll get no name badge ;). Registration once open will happen on the website. There's an announcement when that happens I think. > What sould I bring/pack? (besides the Kubuntu Stickers) clothes! and a toothbrush! > Valorie, are you asking when to have Kubuntu related talks at Akademy, > right? Since the demise of real life ubuntu developer summits we have started to have a Kubuntu Day at Akademy where we'd do what we would usually have done during UDS - discuss Kubuntu matters. Someone could totally propose a talk about something cool in Kubuntuland though (call for papers not open yet) ;) HS -- kubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-devel
