-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everybody! Just a little more than one week left till FOSDEM 2012 starts. Because of this a short reminder regarding stuff you should make sure to bring if you want to join:
1) Stuff you should not forget to package: - Bring Euro coins (2, 1, .5, .2 and .1)! The reason is simple: Close to the hacking room is a vending machine that is a little cheaper than the official sale of drinks at FOSDEM and the drinks are cooled. The problem: you need coins to feed it! Beside this buying tickets is cheaper when getting them from the machines available at basically every station. When buying from the driver you pay a little more. - Don't forget your laptops plus power supplies if you plan on hacking. - Since network access at FOSDEM is a little, uhm, erratic you might consider getting yourself a git checkout so that you can continue hacking and saving stuff even when network ain't available for a while. For instructions on getting a git checkout of the wesnoth tree, have a look at the wiki [1]. - Don't forget to take your mobile phone with you and take the power supply for it either. - Some people should take power extension cords as well as some multi outlets with them. That is I will take some with me and mordante might take some with him, too. Though if you are coming over to FOSDEM by car you might want to consider putting some into your trunk. For those staying at 2go4 (valid for most participants): - Don't forget to package a towel. The booked beds include sheets, but not towels, so you got to bring those yourself. - Consider packaging a padlock, too. Some of the rooms got lockers, but those got no lock included, for those you need a padlock. 2) Many of the talks for FOSDEM are already listed as [2] (not as pdf, will probably be out later...). You might want to have a look at it to get an idea what there will be besides Wesnoth. Of course there is also the games devroom. The schedule for this one is available at [3] and it will take place all day on Sunday. 3) As the last years we will most likely conquer the first row of the hacking room AW1.115. So if we don't meet before, you should be able to find some Wesnoth people there (on Saturday). On Sunday it is likely that some (or even most?) Wesnoth devs will be in AW1.120, the devroom centered on open source game development. 4) We will most likely meet already Friday afternoon/evening and have dinner at the same Greek (hey, great country name, so close to 'geek'... ;) ) restaurant we were at over the last years. Prices were affordable and food was good. At [4] you can find a link with approximate google maps coordinates. It should be at this street and the coordinates should be correct +-50m. The name of the restaurant is "Santorini". 5) All people with access to the hidden moderators forum should have a look at the list of phone numbers [5] and save some of those so that you can easily call/message some of the others (makes coordinating a meeting a lot easier!). 6) Those who have no idea how some of us look can have a look at the 2011 group photo [6]. Of the people shown in the photo at least AI, boucman, crab, elias, fendrin, Ivanovic and Mordante plan to participate in this years FOSDEM. IMO it would be a good idea if someone coming over to FOSDEM could bring a (usable) digicam so that we can make a new photo. 7) For those who have no idea how weather will look this weekend: I don't know it either. You should check the weather forecast shortly before... Okay, you can also have a look at [7] to get a rough idea... More information about what we want to do at FOSDEM as well as some maps and stuff about transportation is available in the wesnoth wiki at [8]. Additional topics for discussions are welcome. Those interested can eg test Wesnoth on the Pandora [9] (yeah, I'll bring mine!). And of course there is the games devroom for Sunday, filled with open source gaming related talks. Looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible, Nils Kneuper aka Ivanovic [1] http://wiki.wesnoth.org/GIT-SVN [2] http://fosdem.org/2012/schedule [3] http://fosdem.org/2012/schedule/track/open_source_game_development_devroom [4] http://maps.google.de/maps?q=50.845731,4.35312&num=1&t=h&sll=50.846281,4.354727&sspn=0.112791,0.256119&ie=UTF8&ll=50.84571,4.353142&spn=0.00148,0.001741&z=19 [5] http://www.wesnoth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=283311 [6] http://wiki.wesnoth.org/Fosdem2011#Group_Picture [7] http://www.weather24.com/16days/r/Brussels/R%C3%A9gion+de+Bruxelles-Capitale/Belgium/BE0BR0029 [8] http://wiki.wesnoth.org/FOSDEM2012 [9] http://www.openpandora.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk8ef7oACgkQfFda9thizwW2JQCfYtxpkeqM4VGz+TZIYVrgEgFL a3cAn0I5yUlYrm0GcUw9QUeuQCXlq++X =pLyI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Wesnoth-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/wesnoth-dev
