Greetings :-)
The organizers of YAPC::EU::2005 would like you all to know how things are going.
This is report #6 and here are some details:
Pictures of the venue: We recently had another conference in one of the rooms where we'll host YAPC::EU::2005. There are some pictures from that conference here and here.
The reason I'm mentioning this is because you might want to have a look at the room :-) Oh, and you might recognize Michael Schwern as the first speaker :-)
When to get there and when to leave: People were asking when they should arrive/leave in order not to miss anything. We have answered that in our FAQ. Basically, we advise people to arrive at least on August 30th and to leave no sooner than September 3rd. But that's just to make sure you're not going to miss anything.
Getting from the OPO airport to Braga made easier: Getting from the OPO airport to the city of Braga will hopefully be made easier with this. What you see there is not a final version and comments are welcome. More pictures will be added as possible.
Reports on the website: As you can see, the Site Map now includes the reports we've been sending to this mailing list.
The Fishnets incident: So that everybody could understand what's up with this fishnets thing, we posted the fishnets incident on the wiki. It's here.
Behind the scenes action:
And that's it for now.
If there's anything else you need, the organizers can be reached at yapc@perl-hackers.net
Kind regards,
Jose and Alberto
... it's all my fault.
My opinion it that the next group of organisers must perpetuate the fine tradition* of auctionning something of the next conference (orga T-shirts are just an easy target) at the end of each YAPC::Europe. What could wrong, eh?
* Well, sure, it's a tradition... it already happened twice!
