That question in other words: Train travellers arriving at Railway station Zagreb Glavni Kolodvor, do they arrive near a bus station that has a connection to Banja Luka? They _seem_ to be very close together. When the bus enters the station, we went just by the stopped trains. It's just a couple hundred meters (and that, if the exit is in the opposite end). Might be a little late to respond to this questions, but I'll do it anyways, maybe it helps someone else. My understanding is there is only one central long distance bus station in Zagreb, namely Autobusni Kolodvor. This is five (?) tram stops from the central railway station, namely Glavni Kolodvor. Tram lines 2 and 6 connect both locations, and the tram stops are very close (northern end of Glavni Kolodvor, western end of Autobusni Kolodvor). ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss

[Debconf-discuss] Wanted: Talk Meisters!
Hi, The talks team is asking for volunteers who would coordinate talks on a half day each. That means your task is to give a small introduction of the speaker (which most probably requires to talk to the speaker before the talk), making the speaker aware that he has 45min time to speak as well as coordinating the discussion after the talk. The morning shift usually consists of three talks to coordinate, the afternoon shift has four talks. Please go to the Wiki page: http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf11/Talk_Meister and add your name to your prefered time slot.

Re: [Debconf-discuss] Visit to cheese-making monastery in Banja Luka
On Sat, Jul 23, 2011 at 11:19, Moray Allan mo...@sermisy.org wrote: The Banja Luka locals are organising this, not me. :) As I understand it, the current total of people is close enough to 20 for the capacity constraints, so there will only be an afternoon visit, including people who already signed up for the morning. The bus to the monastery is a public bus or a charter? (moray thinks a regular public bus) When I originally saw the 2 separate trips I thought 1 could be a scouting trip for the other trip to check accessibility for the part of the trip not on a bus. This morning, I asked Otavio and he was interested in going on the trip. I guess it may be too late to dig up a suitable bus/van to/from the monastery. (i'll double check with locals) But it should still be feasible to go ahead by (public) bus to check the site to see if it would work. -Jeremy ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss

When/where should we meet, assuming you don't want to write it all down? Well, writing it down might consume similar time and is usable for more people. :-) I was running (very slowly) this morning to the pool (took me about 17min so you can walk in less than 30min easily). I arrived exatcly at 7:00 and they really had open at this time. The price for a time span which is not really clear to me (I was inside for 1.5h and did not to pay something in addition, see below) was 3KM which is quite fair. You need bathing cap and mens should wear what I would call a *real* swimming trunk [1] and not those what I call swimming sack [2] consisting from a lot of cloth perfectly increasing your resistance inside the water. (There are indicating signs for this ... and I like it ;-)) You get a key *without* something to fasten it on your body. My solution was to put it just on my head before putting the bathing cap on it. You might consider putting it into a towel and take thus inside. In addition to the key you get a receipt and an additional paper with a bar code. This barcode can be used to enter the barrier and leaving it later. You need to hold it in front of the round sensor on the right of the three entrance barriers. Inside you find doors to small cabins to change closes. I was tricked by red and green signs on the door knob. They seem to be sealed from inside all - so you need to find one of the pathes inbetween and enter the cabin from the inside. From this path you also can estimate the distance to the box were you can store your clothes. Inside there are two pools, one 50m the other 25m. Howeverm they separated the lanes of the larger pool across to make the lanes also 25m long - there was no chance to swimm 50m distance. The unusual separation left space for a waterball area (inclusive goals). I have not checked whether you can fetch a ball from those boxes - these are probably locked. When I entered there seemed to happen some training in one end of the large pool and I decided to break the smooth water surface in the completely empty smaller pool. The water is very clear and I can confirm that there is only less cloride in it. I'm alargic against cloride and I feel that my nose is closed after a certain time. In the pool at home I get this after swimming 400-800m here I did not had any trouble even after swimming 3000m. I really like this! There was some last hurdle when leaving the barrier to go outside. I tried to put my bar code paper in front of those two barriers were the sensor light was on (red diodes). This was the wrong choice - use the one on the right side which is dark. The staff was not happy about seeing me jumping over the fence but later showed me kindly how to behave correctly. I really liked this nice, modern and clean pool and will probably go at some other day again. Kind regards Andreas.
