Hi all, Some information about the GNU Classpath & Friends DevRoom from the FOSDEM organization. The main thing to remember is that we are in is AW1.120. And that we are not supposed to enter the room on Saturday before 14:00 (there might be lectures going on). There will be wireless, but not wired internet in the room. If someone could bring a Hub and some Ethernet cables that would be highly appreciated. Big thanks to the FOSDEM organizers! Hope to see you in Brussels this weekend. And don't forget the Friday night meeting! (A La Mort Subite - 7 rue Montagne aux Herbes Potageres http://www.alamortsubite.com) See http://developer.classpath.org/mediation/Fosdem2006 Cheers, Mark DEVROOMS ~~~~~~~~ Video projectors will be provided by us in all devrooms, as well as wireless network connectivity (every devroom will have it's own access point), the ESSID will be "FOSDEM". If you want wired network, you will have to bring your own equipment (cables, hubs, switches). Please understand that it is already a daunting task to provide network connectivity everywhere for such a large event, we can't take care of wireless and wired at the same time. The schedule of all devroom talks and activities are included in this years' folder that is distributed (for free) to every FOSDEM visitor. A map with the location of each devroom (by project) is included as well. To those who have never been to FOSDEM: the location is the Solbosch campus of the Universit? Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), the Free University of Brussels (see http://www.fosdem.org/2006/index/practical) Basically, the event is spread across 4 buildings, with only two for your concern, named "H" and "AW" (the 3rd and 4th buildings exclusively hosting the FOSDEM "main tracks", no devrooms nor booths in those). The AW building is located just in front of the H, with some 30m between them. All room numbers start with "H" and "AW" to indicate in which building they are located. We will be present in *both* buildings with a FOSDEM InfoDesk (and staff members). Toilets will unfortunately only be available in the H building (but, as said, it's really not far away), including a "toilet lady" that will take care of cleaning them (it's free, but a few eurocents in return are always nice ;)). To know what room is assigned to your project, you can always just pick up a folder at the InfoDesk, or check the "FOSDEM Survival Map" where I have compiled all the activities and talks that will be held at FOSDEM: http://www.fosdem.org/docs/plan-color.pdf http://www.fosdem.org/docs/plan-grey.pdf http://www.fosdem.org/docs/plan-bw.pdf (my 2c tip: download and print one of the PDFs above and take it with you to the event) The folder (available at the InfoDesk) includes a map to help you find your room. On Saturday, rooms in the AW building are only available from 14:00 on (with the exception of AW1.126 (Calibre), which is from 13:00 on). Rooms in the H building only for sure from 12:30-13:00 on. Unfortunately there are still courses taking place in most rooms before that time and, hence, no access possible. Some rooms in the H building might be accessible before 13:00, but please be careful when you check and don't just rush in and disturb the course taking place (we've had people doing that a lot past years, so please don't get us into trouble with the ULB, thanks for your understanding ;)). Note that this only applies to Saturday. On Sunday, the staff is there from 08:00 on, so all rooms are accessible from 09:00 on. Rooms in the H building are locked remotely by the ULB security staff so in case your room is not unlocked on Sunday morning (which we will do our best to avoid, but no one is perfect), please just notify someone at the InfoDesk and we'll have the room opened immediately. I will stick A4 sheets with your devroom name and the schedule on the room doors, but if you have something fancier and/or larger, you can of course bring it to the event and put it in place of my minimalistic version. FYI, everyone will be in very nice company again this year: here is the list of all projects having a devroom at FOSDEM 2006 (in no particular order): - KDE - openSUSE - Embedded - Mozilla - OpenGroupware + GNUstep - Tcl/Tk - Jabber - GNU Classpath & friends - X.org - GNOME - Debian - Calibre - Linux on Laptops - Ada - Gentoo That's 15 devrooms, summing up to 143 (!) talks over the weekend. -- Escape the Java Trap with GNU Classpath! http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/java-trap.html Join the community at http://planet.classpath.org/ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
