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

Indeed. Always nice to tell sponsors about the good things that their money will do for them (besides affording me my McDonalds :)

Will we need to choose from the menu before the event again?
dwd
intosi, That level of logistics is down to FLorian, who seems very oevrworked at the moment.
Simon
Too 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.
Simon
Are developers also allowed to use über or can only "executives" ?
dwd
Executive Developers are.

isn't it a free market there?
Simon
Guess France has a different view on free markets…
Steffen Larsen
;-)
Steffen Larsen
well we have a special law here as well for taxies.. And I dont think über can easily enter here as well.
Simon
Funny thing is that all the Munich (regular) drivers already use an über equivalent for arranging pickups (and drive around doing normal pickups too).

Steffen Larsen: let me know where there are true free markets for taxis
Steffen Larsen

Simon

On phone to Domicilium.
dwd
They just say to send a mail to helpdesk@domicilium.com. Which doesn't sound hopeful.
Simon
begin spamming…. NOW!
dwd
No, best not. I'll try a different approach.
Simon
Did you try ping that guy on LinkedIn?
dwd
Simon, He's a 3rd-level contact, I'll see if I can edge closer first. :-)

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

dwd
I think you misspelt that.
dwd
It's "Fanatical Support™", isn't it?
Simon
Chatted 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
Simon
Found his e-mail: padcock@domicilium.com

dwd
Ah, good.
ralphm
dwd: 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.

Is that the sort of stuff we should be publicly archiving?

dwd
Kev, You're normally the one arguing things should be publicly archived. :-)
Kev
Not people's phone numbers.
dwd
That's the main switchboard number.
Kev
Ah, OK.
Simon

dwd
Mailed him too.
winfriedwonders if he should suspend his LinkedIN account in the meanwhile

Ah, Phil Adcock just connected with me on LinkedIn. So, progress.
