'lo all,
As I arrive beginning of the afternoon on the Friday (actually, I should be
at 1 PM at the train station), who would be there to do something on the
afternoon (like visiting Stuttgart or stuff like that) ?
I should only have a backpack so I could leave directly from the station and
only go to the hotel on the evening to check-in and to leave for the evening
meal.

Folks,
I worry that we have left this a little bit too late, and
that we have not been giving Herr Gemkow enough support.
At this point, I understand that we have the following
plans:
1. Coffee to be provided by the University, as they
have good high powered coffee makers.
2. Rolls of some sort to be bought and brought in
separately by local volunteers, whether that's
Michael, Andi, or Brian is not yet clear.
The thinking is that most folks will have breakfast
at their hotel, so the rolls/donuts are a 'nice to
have', not a 'have to have'.
3. Lunch is still open. I think if we just ordered
30 pizzas delivered along with some soda that would
suffice. I don't know if there are more elaborate
plans than that, or if it would be okay for us to
have pizza in the meeting rooms.
4. Dinner Saturday I think we're nearly done on; I understand
that Hans-Ulrich is making a reservation for us on
Saturday.
Is that about right? Am I way behind the curve?
It seems to me that if we could have someone to volunteer
to take care of rolls (there are two days, so maybe two
volunteers), and if someone could volunteer to figure
out lunch, that we would maybe have this covered.
As far as how this all gets paid for, I think we're still
figuring out who is willing to sponsor what events; CodeWeavers
will at the least cover any otherwise unclaimed expenses,
so folks should certainly feel comfortable scheduling pizza
deliveries knowing that someone will step up to pay for it.
(I was planning on picking up dinner on Saturday; if all other
expenses get to be too much, I'm going to assume no one will mind
going dutch on Saturday; we're looking at ~20-25 EUR/person).
Thoughts? Comments?
Cheers,
Jer
I'll be arriving at Hahn Frankfurt airport on the 28th, around 10:25.
I'll get Stuttgart with a bus/train combination, and if I get all the
connections right I should be at the hotel by 14:30.
Naturally if you're driving along my same route do let me know and we
can meet somewhere.
Ivan.
I'll be arriving at Stuttgart on Friday at 11:50, on flight AF1708.
I'll be leaving on Monday at 08:30 (early wakeup for me).
I won't have a car, but if other people arrive more or less the same
time, we can share a taxi/train. I'll be staying at the Deusche Telekom.
If anyone is coming on similar times, please let me know.
On a different thread, I'm considering buying a Mac mini while there.
Can anyone local let me know where a nearby computer store might be that
is likely to carry Macs?

Hi,
I'm going to drive from Darmstadt, which is about 10 miles from Frankfurt
airport, to Stuttgart on Friday afternoon and back on Sunday evening. If
anybody flies in to Frankfurt airport at about this time, I would be happy to
offer a ride.
Bye,

Hey,
I assumed there was an audio shoutcast for wineconf this year until I
noticed this morning I had been reading the archives of 2004. I know,
now this might be a bit too late to arrange. But let's try.
I have the experience in setting up an audio stream and the general
knowledge about audio. But I do not have much portable equipment I can
take with me at wineconf.
I would mainly be needing a laptop with a _proper_ soundcard and a
server doing the actual streaming.
What kind of sound system does the conference room have? Do we know
specifics? If there is nothing available I can arrange some equipment.
If there is equipment available our biggest problem will be getting
the signal at the poor 3,5mm jack line-in connections of the laptop.
The laptop would need a distro (duh) with basically just ALSA. And a
soundcard that can do hardware mixing (multiple local playback streams
at once).
You can have nice sound at 56kbit/s mp3. So somewhere around a 5mbit
connection should be enough for 100 listeners at the stream server
(you don't want to do that on the laptop, connections eat memory).
What do you all think?
Paul
> Personally, I'd prefer a non-streaming solution.
I think we'll make anything we record available for download anyway, and if we can also stream it live, so much the better.
We'll just get to wineconf with the equipment we have and see what we can get together.
Ivan.
Hi Folks,
Say, we've been very fortunate; WRS, CodeWeavers,
and Lingnu have all offered cash assistance for
Wineconf, and many, many people are also providing
volunteer services.
This means that there will be no fees beyond your
own travel and hotel costs, and you may even get
a free lunch or two out of the deal.
But here's the catch: we need a sizable fraction
of attendees to stay through to the bitter end,
and help with the cleanup. The University of
Stuttgart is generously going to let us use their
space all weekend; but it needs to be pristine
by 8:00 am on Monday.
So, I would like everyone to make a mental note
that when we officially adjourn on Sunday, that
you should stick around and help make sure everything
is clean and orderly.
Thanks!
Jer
