I thought that the source vs. destination (supposing that the top field is source and destination) already indicated that, but I am now unsure. That's to say if the time specified is the time you take the train or the time you want to arrive to Heidelberg at. Some prefilled form for the 15th: http://goo.gl/UPNxfL there are trains for 19 EUR Beyond that, I am not sure if I'm elligible for the savings fare or the standard fare. You can choose the cheapest option as long as you don't select any reductions (you probably are not elligible) I think that, depending on the time of my plane (and delays, and grabbing my baggage, and potentially more delays etc.), this uncertainty would rule out the savings fare? Or wouldn't it? If, given these constrains, it is still possible to have the discount price, do I have to acquire the BahnCard 25 to take advantage of the lower price? The savings fares are for specific trains only. So if your plane is delayed you might need to pay a penalty to go to another train, but I don't know how this works To be honest, I would like to, in principle, take the simplest (read: smallest number of hops), to avoid some anxiety problems. In the form i linked, you have options with only one change, less than one hour in total time. and you have already platform numbers and everything :) -- Martín Ferrari (Tincho) ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss

The orga team are already busy enough during each day that we can't really take this on. So, if the late-night hacking sessions are important to you then please get in touch - you can make them happen! Last night I stayed for closing the night venue. I can still do that provided I'm not attending any talk in the early morning, or somebody volunteers for waking me up in the morning :) -- Martín Ferrari ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
[Debconf-discuss] Fwd: DebConf2 stuff wanted!
Hi, Sorry if this message gets to you twice, as I don't know who's subscribed and who's not. I'm trying to build a site for documenting the past DebConf2 as currently there are none, only a few pages scattered (and some lost). So, if you have something: pictures, talks slides or transcripts, recaps of the event, even some blog posting, it could be nice to put it into the site. Right now, I'm missing information about the following talks: Introduction Joe Drew, Bdale Garbee [EMAIL PROTECTED] Free Software in Brazil Henrique de Moraes Holschuh [EMAIL PROTECTED] Security Enhanced (SE) Linux in Debian Russell Coker [EMAIL PROTECTED] debconf at Debconf Joey Hess [EMAIL PROTECTED] Catered dinner (there was a talk here??) Michael Robertson, Bdale Garbee [EMAIL PROTECTED] How to support users David B. Harris [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Joe, Bdale, Henrique, Damian, Andreas and Matt: I already could find the material from your talks not listed here, I'd like to know if it's OK if I upload that in the new site. Thanks! -- Martín Ferrari ___ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss

This state radio web page is the Argentine variant of Fort Know, right? Could you por favor send me a deep link, so that I have a chance to listen to this radio? Gracias! Sure, here it is: mms://streaming.netizen.com.ar/la2x4 Today I listened to it for a couple of hours without problem. Totem and mplayer like MMS addresses... But if your player chokes at it, just GET it with http, and there you will have the raw streaming URI. (today it points to http://200.73.177.38:80/la2x4) I didn't understand your first question, what is Fort Know??
