KevMail forthcoming?
Steffen Larsenbut any code for getting discount?
Steffen Larsenit seems like the same prices tough..
dwdNot yet; that's just the offer Florian has.
dwdSteffen Larsen, The weekday rate isn't reduced; the weekend rate is (from €125)
Steffen Larsenokie
Steffen Larsengreat dave. So there will be mailed a code etc.?
Steffen Larsenbecause I need to book soon
dwdI *entirely* sympathise.
intosiWe all do.
dwdAnd FWIW, I'm like to get this done and dusted by the end of today; Florian's on it.

Steffen Larsendwd: right on!
dwdAnd when I say "by the end of the day", I mean in a few minutes, thanks to Florian. :-)
Steffen Larsenha ha

dwdlooks at travel
Steffen Larsenwhen do you guys arrive? wedensday evening or thurday morning?
KevWednesday evening for me.
Steffen Larsenyeah I was thinking the same
KevAnd then I'm heading off Sunday.
Steffen Larsenotherwise I had to get up early at thurday…

dwdI'm considering flying in on Thursday morning. Saves me a hotel night.
dwdThough the plane won't land until 10:10, so I'll be late.
Steffen Larsendwd: yes true, save a night at hotel, but give me a headache
LloydArriving Thursday morning, flying out Monday afternoon
KevI don't want the stress of trying to arrive on time on Thursday.
dwdLloyd, Yes, that kind of thing. You flying from Cardiff?
Steffen LarsenOk. So maybe we could start at 10 oclock thurdays instead of 9
LloydActually flying up from Munich, we have a buddycloud hackathon in the Alps for a few days before the summit.
dwdSteffen Larsen, I think our official start is actually 10:00 anyway, isn't it?
Lloyddwd you can get 6:40am flights from Bristol direct
Steffen Larsendwd: ok, I thought we said 9
Steffen Larsenok then I might take the morning flight
Steffen Larsenlet me browse a bit
dwdLloyd, Ah, OK. Though it's only 0600 from CWL, and gets me four flights onto my frequent flyer.
dwdLloyd, I don't *think* I can drive CWL->Bristol in 40 minutes. :-)
Lloyddwd: Cardiff -> Bristol ~45 minutes. Either longer in the Car or the air. Plus they've increased Wales tax again.
Steffen LarsenI cant remember.. how far is the hotel from the airport?
Steffen Larsenor do people come to diegem directly from the airport
dwdSteffen Larsen, The hotel? A reasonable way. But Cisco Diegem is right next to the airport, I think.
LloydSteffen Larsen: Ensure you don't turn up with only 50 euro notes, grumpiest taxi drivers in the world.
dwdAny idea how much a taxi from the airport to Cisco is?
Lloyddwd: I think I paid 14 euro last time, but that was with a detour to get change and I was too tired to argue
Steffen Larsenits about 4km away
Steffen Larsentry über. :-)
Steffen Larsengoogle says 3.9 km
dwdSteffen Larsen, I'm told they don't operate there.
Steffen Larsenbut the address for cisco is: Cisco Systems Belgium, De Kleetlaan, Diegem, Belgium . Right?
dwdDe Kleetlaan 6/B, 1831, Belgium
Steffen Larsenokie perfect. I'll put it in the wiki if its not there
Steffen Larsenso people can find it.
Steffen LarsenCan I write that we start 10 o'clock as well?
dwdI believe we have the room from 0900. Ralph mentioned 0900 for 1000 start; but I'm hesitant to call that definitive; it's really up to Kev.
Steffen Larsenok
Kevdwd: The room's been sorted now?
Steffen Larsenfor cisco, yes I think
dwdI... thought so.
KevExcellent.
KevWhen do we have the room until in the evening?
dwdThough I can't recall seeing that it had been, just that it definitely would be. Perhaps I should check...
dwdThis I do not know.
KevThat seems potentially useful information for time planning.
Steffen Larsen:-)
KevI'd have thought that gathering at 9 but starting in earnest at 10 on Thursday and 9 on Friday would be sensible enough.
Steffen LarsenKev: yes
KevI don't think starting later than 10 would be sensible - we'll spend the morning not getting anywhere anyway, with introductions and schedule and stuff.
KevSo we'll have to behead anyone who arrives late :)
intosiputs guillotine on list of items to pack, and needs to check if a big enough van can be rented.
KevThanks.

fippokev: oh, you're planning for a meeting longer than 15 minutes?

KevWe're missing a day for the dinner still, aren't we?
dwdI was assuming Saturday.
Steffen LarsenKev: Friday or Saturday
KevSaturday would be ideal.
KevFriday would also be fine.
KevI'm just trying to arrange what else I need to do while I'm there.
Steffen Larsen+1
KevThursday would be inconvenient :)
Steffen Larsenyes. Then we can only drink orange juice ;-)
LloydThursday is good for those not staying for FOSDEM, Friday is better for me :)
Steffen LarsenLloyd: true
KevThere are people not turning up until Friday, too, so swings and roundaboutns.
Kevs/typo/notypo/
Steffen LarsenKev: your the chief in command. Choose a date, and people will show up. :-)
KevThat isn't true for the meal.
KevI think I got nominated to 'chair' the meetings during the summit days, but I certainly don't have responsibility for logistics of the meal or anything (which is sitting with Florian, I think).
dwdFriday is the FOSDEM beer thing, so wouldn't work.
Steffen Larsenso saturday for the dinner might be best
dwdAnd as far as responsibility goes, that's probably resting with Ralph, though I'm trying to shoulder some of it.
Steffen Larsengood idea

ralphmdwd: I've been (and still am) travelling today
ralphmdwd: I thought we had already settled dinner for Saturday and gave this suggestion to Florian?
dwdralphm, That seems likely.
intosiIf you didn't say anything, he will most likely assume it's going to be Saturday anyway.
ralphmdidn't we have saturday for years already?
dwdralphm, I'm pretty sure that we agreed Saturday, and asked Florian to work on that.
dwdralphm, We changed day in, erm, 2012.
dwdI think.
ralphmdwd: no http://wiki.xmpp.org/web/index.php?title=Summit_11
ralphmI think I researched this last year, too
LloydWasn't it Thursday last year? I may be wrong, my brain was, erm, not performing at 100%
intosiIt was.
intosi(on Thursday, cannot judge how well your brain was functioning)
ralphmI would not necessarily be opposed
ralphmI think there was something with the venue not being open on certain nights
