Hi,
as this is my first wineconf and I probably won't recognize people, will
there be a meeting point or similar for the gathering on Friday evening?
Kind regards,
Wolfram

The hotel has a bar ;-)
There is a large contingent of people who will arrive around 7am at the
airport. The plan is for that contingent to go to the hotel and then
spend the day doing touristy stuff. We will be back to the hotel in the
late afternoon, presumably some time between 17h00 and 18h00, certainly
19h00 at the very latest. But nothing is set in stone; it will very much
depend on how tired that contingent is, weather, etc.
Then we will hang out at the bar and/or the restaurant for diner, if I
remember correctly they are next to each other so it should be no issue.
We may go out to a nearby bar later in the evening but nothing is
decided yet. If that's the case we will try to leave word at the desk.

Great, I will arrive late afternoon and will probably be able to spot "the
contingent" then in the bar or restaurant. Thanks for the update!

http://www.wunderground.com/global/stations/07157.html says "make that
the most conspicuous Wineconf sweater or parka" they have.
How about everybody wear a "Hi, My name is Tux" tag? :-)

I'm afraid that algorithm didn't work too well for me in Zurich.
How about this: look for the sign of the penguin
( http://www.google.com/images?q=linux+penguin )
and have at least one person bring a letter-sized
sheet of paper with a big image of the pengin on it,
and tape it somewhere at the table...

How will knowing how we look (for my picture you have to go back to
wineconf 2005 or 2004, I'm afraid) help resolve the interface
incompatibility between Dan's US Letter size paper and the bar's metric
tables? Think how frustrating it must be to carry a printed penguin all
the way with you from the US, only to find out you did it on the wrong
paper size....

Friday is expected to be cold, but without rain.
I'm arriving at France on Tuesday, and will spend most of the week at my
sister's, about 80Km from Paris. I did book the hotel at Friday night,
and I'm not sure how early on Friday I'll be arriving at the hotel. It
would be great (though not crucial) if I had some way (i.e. - cell
phone?) to rendezvous with the rest of you before you go back to the hotel.

I'd rather not put my cell phone number on the Internet but I can send
it privately to anyone who is interested. I'll start by sending it to
everyone in this thread.

In theory, theory and practice are the same, but in practice they're different.
