Re: [Flightgear-devel] Announcing: FSWeekend 2010
I need a carpool from Eindhoven (or somewhere halfway, like Utrecht) because train and bus schedules to Lelystad are somewhat impractical. The bus to the airport has an hourly or 2-hourly service IIRC, and taking the train and bus takes me over 3 hours to get there (where it would only take me 1,5 hours if I would travel by car). I'll try and see if I can pull some strings and arrange a car for Saturday, in that case, I can pick up somebody enroute.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Announcing: FSWeekend 2010
Hi All, I would just like to drop a note here, announcing that FSWeekend, the largest flight simulation event in Europe is coming up again. As in previous years, the event will be organized in the Aviodrome, the aviation museum at Lelystad (EHLE) airport, in the Netherlands. This year, the event will be held on Saturday 6, and Sunday November 7. Last week, I signed us up for having a booth again, and have already received confirmation that we're welcome. Last year we had one of the larger booths, and a pretty good show. I certainly hope to be able to improve upon that one. In addition to FSWeekend, a number of people, most notably Willie Flemming, have coined the idea of organizing a developer meeting / conference to coincide with FSWeekend. I am supportive of that idea, but unfortunatly lack the resources to assist in organizing such an event. However, speaking from past experience I do know that such meetings are typically a lot of fun, and I would most definitely welcome anybody who would like to join or participate in such an event. In any case, if you happen to be around and have some time available, please stop by for a quick chat with one of our booth staff members, and share your FlightGear experience with us. Hope to see you all in large numbers! :-) Cheers, Durk I am very proud to announce that German hardware vendor Thomas-Krenn AG has sponsored a workstation to help us present the latest and cooles features of FlightGear at this year's FSWeekend. The machine specs are, well, insane: dual Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5690 @ 3.47GHz, total of 24 cores 12GB RAM four nvidia GTX460 with 2GB RAM each. enough harddrive space, sound, DVD, etc., etc. http://www.t3r.de/flightpics/ThomasKrenn-workstation1.jpg http://www.t3r.de/flightpics/ThomasKrenn-workstation2.jpg http://www.t3r.de/flightpics/ThomasKrenn-workstation3.jpg (how many DVI adaptors do you count? Yes, eight!) We met the nice guys of Thomas-Krenn AG at this year's LinuxTag where we were almost booth neighbours. Durk, Martin and I visited the their headquarter a few weeks ago. We received a very warm welcome and had the oppertunity to visit the entire company. If you are in the need for professional server- or workstation hardware, you might want to consider visiting http://www.thomas-krenn.com/ and support our supporters. If you were still looking for an excuse to fly into Amsterdam and visit FSWeekend, this machine definitely is one!
