dwdSimon, I was thinking a less formal, "&Yet [or whoever] have kindly offered €1,000 toward the XSF Dinner". But whatever.

intosiWill we need to choose from the menu before the event again?
dwdintosi, That level of logistics is down to FLorian, who seems very oevrworked at the moment.
SimonToo many Taxis?
Lloyd"Its not a taxi, its an executive transport service" - Florian when mentioning taxis
Simonremembers the SF taxi driver describing himself as a "transport engineer". Given his driving, he was more like particle physicist trying to smash atoms.
SimonAre developers also allowed to use über or can only "executives" ?
dwdExecutive Developers are.

Steffen Larsenisn't it a free market there?
SimonGuess France has a different view on free markets…
Steffen Larsen;-)
Steffen Larsenwell we have a special law here as well for taxies.. And I dont think über can easily enter here as well.
SimonFunny thing is that all the Munich (regular) drivers already use an über equivalent for arranging pickups (and drive around doing normal pickups too).
ralphmSteffen Larsen: let me know where there are true free markets for taxis

dwdOn phone to Domicilium.
dwdThey just say to send a mail to helpdesk@domicilium.com. Which doesn't sound hopeful.
Simonbegin spamming…. NOW!
dwdNo, best not. I'll try a different approach.
SimonDid you try ping that guy on LinkedIn?
dwdSimon, He's a 3rd-level contact, I'll see if I can edge closer first. :-)

ralphmEver since I started at Rackspace I've been spoiled by Fanatical Support. I suppose Domicilium doesn't have it?

dwdI think you misspelt that.
dwdIt's "Fanatical Support™", isn't it?
SimonChatted with James Body - "https://www.linkedin.com/pub/phil-adcock/7/86/436 is definitely the guy you want" try him on phil.adcock@domecill….im
SimonFound his e-mail: padcock@domicilium.com
Twitter @philipadcock
dwdAh, good.
ralphmdwd: probably. In any case, you start expecting it from every service company, is my experience. Not sure if that's a blessing or a curse.
