Re: space for infra meetup
Closest airports are probably Stuttgart (STR), Frankfurt (FRA) and Baden Airpark (FKB). STR is The latter isn't an international airport so you would have in transit transfers. According to google maps STR is the closest one to Sinsheim. In regards to closeness I wonder what it means to you... the area is pretty packed and there's the German autobahn which should get you to any of these airports within a reasonable amount of time I suppose :) Cheers Daniel On Wed, Aug 15, 2012 at 11:16 AM, Daniel Shahaf d...@daniel.shahaf.name wrote: Gavin McDonald wrote on Wed, Aug 15, 2012 at 09:30:33 +0930: -Original Message- From: Daniel Shahaf [mailto:d...@daniel.shahaf.name] Sent: Wednesday, 15 August 2012 2:55 AM To: apachecon-discuss@apache.org Cc: infrastructure-priv...@apache.org Subject: Re: space for infra meetup Nick Burch wrote on Mon, Aug 13, 2012 at 22:29:27 +0100: On 13/08/12 18:32, Ulrich Stärk wrote: Infra would like to hold a meetup directly after ACEU.

I don't think we have a reason to care about being close to the venue wherein an apachecon used to take place :) I do, I'll have been staying at a venue close to ApacheCon for a week , and go home On the Sunday, so moving out of one Hotel and moving to another one for one Night would seem a waste to me, but we'll see where we end up. I assumed some of us might be flying out on Saturday evening and hence closeness to an airport would be an advantage.

The distance to the airport directly affects this. With that in mind, I'd suggest you think about holding the meetup in Heidelberg. It's about 30 minutes on the train from Sinsheim, where the conference will be, and a direct train to Frankfurt airport (and I think Stuttgart too?) There are loads of hotels in Heidelberg, and some hostels, plus lots of restaurants / bars / cafes etc. It also has a number of universitites, so there's a chance we might be able to arrange some space for the meetup there, if that'd be of interest. (I think some people on the list have contacts with some of the Unis?) Nick
