Debian Village at HAR2009 (was: One week to HAR2009!)

[Axel Beckert]

Hi Philip and all other Debianeros coming to HAR2009,

Yeah, and I'm glad you wrote me an e-mail, because you were the only
one on https://wiki.har2009.org/page/Village:Debian#Who_will_come.3F I
had difficulties finding the appropriate e-mail address.

I was already planning to write this mail which now became a reply on
your's since you asked exactly the questions I planned to answer
anyway. (Hope you don't mind citing parts of it on d-d-e@....)

Same to me. Although I saw some villages having there place already
set, I found no indication in the wiki how to claim space for a
Village. So I do this now by announcing it here (see below) and on
https://wiki.har2009.org/page/Village:Debian

Since I just was at DebConf9 and I'm on holidays now, I would like to
see the (small) village as place to hang out, recover from DebConf9
(/me waves to h01ger ;-) and enjoy the time with like-minded people --
nothing overorganised. :-)

> Do you have any idea where the Debian village is going to be on the

I herewith announce that the village shall be at the border between
the camping areas D and W close to the campervan area where I will
probably reside since they want all campervan and caravan users to
live in one place. (The word "ghetto" comes to my mind. *grmpf*)

One village/party tent wouldn't be bad. I'm living in my 2CV for about
4 weeks and have no space to carry around any bigger things. (Besides
of not owning a party tent yet.) Even left my camping table at home...

I do though have an igloo tent with me, but I'm not yet sure if I will
sleep in the car or tent. So if we need some storage space, that tent
would be an option and I would sleep in the car (which should be seen
as one-man-campervan ;-).

h0lger: Do you have that big Debian banner which was in the entrance
hall at Muñoz Torrero? That would make a good feature of our small
village. ;-)

> Since I'm coming by train and bike,

Hehe, cool. I have a folding bike with me, which should help about
being not allowed to move your campervan during the event. :-/

I have only one big powerbar (ca. 8 sockets, several meters of cable)
and two network cables plus connector, so maybe switches, and some
more network cables and power bars wouldn't be a bad idea.

Hrm, I never was and probably never will be at the CCCongress due its
date and me being a member of that set of geeks who belong to a
working family. ;-)

BTW: Anyone coming earlier? I will be in the Netherlands from tomorrow
on and I will probably be at HAR before 13th of August, but I'm not
yet sure when I will arrive there since I don't want the car and me to
be bound to one place for over one week. Give me a call (see below) if
you arrive before 13th of August.

Hope to see you soon at HAR!

P.S.: I probably won't be reachable by e-mail, Jabber or IRC before
arriving at HAR, but I should be quite easily reachable by phone
(using a hands-free set running Linux ;-). My mobile phone number is
[phone]. At HAR (and FrOSCon :-) my DECT number will be 2106.

P.P.S. to tokkee: A pity you can't come. See you at FrOSCon then at
least.

space to bring one...

Jelmer will bring it \o/ We still need to find someone to route it back to
credativ though....

I'll bring a pirate flag, some light chains and could bring a switch, if
needed... if you want my mobile phone number, please reply in private.

stappers will bring a tent that can be use as living room


It is technology from fiveteen / twenty years ago
and is about six years ago that I have seen that tent.

So there is a surprise factor in it.
(No hard feelings when another village/party tent is used.)

When to choose which side of that border, I go for 'D'. ( Yes, D as in
Debian ;-)

At my arrival on wednesday I will look for familiar faces.
>From the seven personal addressed people I do known five, including me.

I have my Private Mobile Radio  446MHz ( PMR446, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PMR446 )
tuned to channel 8, subchannel 16. That is eight for august and sixteen
for Debians birthday (and age on sunday)

On tuesday night I will scan Debian DB for celphone numbers as backup.


Looking forward to see you!

I'll bring two extra big powerbars and the banner.

I hope to arrive on the evening of the 12th, perhaps early morning on
the 13th.

Looking forward to seeing you all again!

Granted. Although the shadow of the trees would be helpful n seeing
what is displayed on laptop displays. Just moved from the outside into
the reception building because the backlight of my EeePC isn't bright
enough to compete with quite an amount of sunshine. ;-)

So I would go for area "D" (like Debian :-) close to the campervan
area and the area "W".

In the meanwhile it's quite sure that I'll arrive on the 12th in the
late afternoon or evening at HAR. I'm currently still on Texel on the
campingsite. (With free WLAN restricting only port 25, MSN and
bandwidth for making customers pay -- payed anyway because when I
asked for WLAN they only told me about the pay option although I only
need SSH. *grmpf*)

Hi,

In roughly 3h (14oo localtime) a group of Debian tea+wine and other lovers
will gather at the Debian village^woutpost at [1 har2009.org] to celebrate
the 0x10th birthday of the project! The outpost is located on the left rear
of the OpenBSD tent - so if you're at HAR, join us and if you don't, make
sure to be at the followup event in four years to celebrate Debians 20th
then!


regards,
        Holger

P.S.: I doubt there will be any tasty cheese left, thats why tea+wine ;-)
