| matti | Morning. | 12:08 |
| zeth | Morning matti | 13:03 |
| Mez | zeth: Reckon I've volunteered to chair enough sessions? http://wiki.europython2009.eu/VolunteersByActivity | 13:14 |
| *** ambv has joined #europython | 13:23 | |
| matti | What's about chairing the sessions? | 13:50 |
| zeth | matti: whats about? | 14:08 |
| zeth | matti: I lost the thread of your question | 14:08 |
| matti | zeth: Nothing important :) | 14:08 |
| matti | zeth: I was curious what's all about chairing the session. | 14:08 |
| matti | ;] | 14:08 |
| zeth | Mez: you have some stamina! | 14:09 |
| zeth | Mez: You have good taste in talks | 14:09 |
| zeth | (i.e. Mez you are chairing my talk ;) | 14:09 |
| matti | Haha | 14:10 |
| matti | ;D | 14:10 |
| zeth | matti: Chairing the session means you tell the speaker to shut up | 14:10 |
| matti | Oh that's easy. | 14:10 |
| matti | ;] | 14:10 |
| zeth | and fight the projector | 14:10 |
| zeth | thats about it | 14:10 |
| matti | We have to get a notebook with anything that reads ppt for Sir Tony Hoare | 14:10 |
| zeth | See http://wiki.europython2009.eu/SessionTeam | 14:11 |
| matti | He is a really nice chap. | 14:11 |
| zeth | matti: that is not a problem | 14:11 |
| matti | HUh | 14:11 |
| matti | I need to get some sort of hotel sorted. | 14:11 |
| zeth | I would consider sharing a room | 14:12 |
| matti | That's not a problem. | 14:12 |
| zeth | there are loads of people who have booked double rooms | 14:12 |
| matti | I can expense everything with my company. | 14:12 |
| matti | ;] | 14:12 |
| zeth | and myself, I spent about 3 hours in my room per night last year | 14:13 |
| zeth | on a good night | 14:13 |
| matti | I simply dont have a time to call Etap. | 14:13 |
| zeth | matti: lucky you | 14:13 |
| zeth | matti: you don't call etap | 14:13 |
| matti | As their registration form is kinda silly. | 14:13 |
| matti | zeth: I dont? | 14:13 |
| zeth | Don't do that | 14:13 |
| zeth | use our form | 14:13 |
| zeth | If you company pays, stay in the Holiday Inn | 14:13 |
| zeth | it is much nicer and nearer the venue | 14:13 |
| matti | zeth: What I want to do is... as follows: a room for myself and my colleague, plus I want to take care about inato (Chris Swift). | 14:14 |
| matti | OK | 14:14 |
| zeth | matti: Just using the booking form and turn off the conference if you have already booked conference http://www.europython.eu/registration/ | 14:14 |
| matti | Aye aye aye. | 14:14 |
| zeth | you can go around the form as many times as you like | 14:14 |
| matti | I would need an invoice later, but I believe that this is not a problem? | 14:14 |
| matti | :) | 14:14 |
| zeth | Premier that is what is was called | 14:15 |
| zeth | anyway the nicer hotel | 14:15 |
| zeth | matti: for invoices talk to John | 14:15 |
| zeth | I don't handle the money | 14:15 |
| matti | Can I get a room for 3. | 14:16 |
| matti | ? | 14:16 |
| zeth | ah | 14:16 |
| zeth | well not sure about that | 14:16 |
| zeth | I think the nice hotel is two single beds | 14:16 |
| zeth | the etap is double bed and single bed | 14:17 |
| zeth | http://www.premierinn.com/pti/hotelInformation.do?hotelId=23839 | 14:17 |
| zeth | yep | 14:20 |
| zeth | so there we go | 14:20 |
| zeth | double room in nice hotel | 14:20 |
| zeth | so if you and you colleague want to share a room | 14:21 |
| zeth | then your mate needs to sleep on the floor | 14:21 |
| zeth | or be friendly | 14:21 |
| zeth | or go to the etap and be in double bed | 14:21 |
| matti | Heheh | 14:22 |
| matti | ;] | 14:22 |
| zeth | Nice hotel is far nearer the conference venue | 14:22 |
| matti | 62 per room? | 14:22 |
| matti | Not per-person? | 14:22 |
| zeth | per room | 14:22 |
| matti | Excellent. | 14:23 |
| zeth | everything is per room | 14:23 |
| matti | Premier Inn = Holiday Inn? | 14:23 |
| zeth | the nice hotel is in the more historic, touristy bit of birmingham | 14:23 |
| zeth | matti: it is early for me here | 14:23 |
| zeth | I meant premier inn all along | 14:23 |
| matti | Oh :) | 14:23 |
| zeth | Holiday Inn is a social venue | 14:23 |
| zeth | which is more expensive I think | 14:23 |
| zeth | but people stay there too | 14:24 |
| matti | Premier Inn has 31GBP for Sunday | 14:24 |
| matti | Interesting | 14:24 |
| zeth | Holiday Inn is where the conference dinner is, so people who want to collapse drunk stay there ;) | 14:24 |
| zeth | Premier in nearer the nice spots | 14:25 |
| zeth | etap is cheaper but is just in some random place | 14:25 |
| matti | Heheh | 14:25 |
| matti | 493.00 for Premier | 14:26 |
| matti | ;o | 14:26 |
| zeth | not too far, but you have to walk down an ugly concrete road to get there | 14:26 |
| zeth | the premier inn has nice canals and bars instead | 14:26 |
| zeth | I am staying even further out | 14:26 |
| zeth | in my house ;) | 14:27 |
| matti | zeth: I can sleep on you sofa :P_ | 14:27 |
| zeth | possibly will be taken | 14:28 |
| zeth | if things work out well | 14:28 |
| zeth | I will be in my new house | 14:28 |
| zeth | and I won't have a sofa | 14:28 |
| matti | Heheh ;] | 14:28 |
| matti | No problem | 14:28 |
| zeth | but maybe your work can buy the sofa and you can sleep on it | 14:28 |
| matti | I just booked Premier | 14:28 |
| zeth | cool | 14:29 |
| zeth | it is more but I think you have nicer holiday that way | 14:29 |
| matti | Its actually not about me. | 14:30 |
| matti | I want to make this expenses-free for Chris Swift. | 14:30 |
| matti | He is young and his income is not that great. | 14:31 |
| zeth | cool | 14:31 |
| matti | Therefore I'd like to offer him a place to stay for free. | 14:31 |
| matti | ;] | 14:31 |
| zeth | well I think you don't get too sleep too much, so just fill your room with people | 14:31 |
| zeth | The conference day starts at 8pm and the socials can go on until about 1-2am | 14:32 |
| matti | I am not that people person. | 14:32 |
| matti | I don't know anyone. | 14:32 |
| matti | ;] | 14:32 |
| zeth | then people still programme in the hotel lobbies all night | 14:32 |
| matti | And... I don't drink :) | 14:32 |
| matti | Hehe. | 14:32 |
| zeth | oh right cool | 14:33 |
| matti | The worst that might happen to me is actually my company phoning me up. | 14:33 |
| zeth | you can be the sober one who throws me in the taxi | 14:33 |
| matti | And I would be stuck on the conference bridge for hours. | 14:33 |
| matti | zeth: Can do :) | 14:33 |
| zeth | I am trying to be a good boy this year | 14:34 |
| zeth | after last year's PyConUK | 14:34 |
| matti | Hahaha | 14:34 |
| matti | ;D | 14:34 |
| zeth | I think we have almost everyone from the UK Python community coming | 14:35 |
| zeth | not so many europeans though | 14:35 |
| zeth | but it is already a EuroPython attendance record | 14:36 |
| matti | :) | 14:36 |
| zeth | well I suppose it is natural for their to be more UK people | 14:37 |
| zeth | we don't have to fly | 14:37 |
| matti | I'd like to have a chance to get a photo will all people involved in organising EPC. | 14:37 |
| matti | Plus some great people like Bruce Eckel etc | 14:37 |
| ambv | hello guys | 14:44 |
| ambv | I'm actually from Poland :) | 14:44 |
| matti | Hi Lukasz. | 14:44 |
| matti | I know. | 14:44 |
| matti | ;] | 14:44 |
| ambv | oh. | 14:44 |
| matti | God. I am angry on Canonical. | 14:44 |
| matti | ambv: Me too. | 14:45 |
| zeth | ? | 14:45 |
| zeth | Hello ambv ! | 14:45 |
| ambv | I've put my name in the audio editors list if that's OK. | 14:46 |
| zeth | great, welcome on board! | 14:46 |
| ambv | :) | 14:46 |
| ambv | My company sends me to the conference so unfortunately I had no possibility to choose my staying place. | 14:47 |
| ambv | It's Etap. | 14:47 |
| zeth | well etap is fine too | 14:47 |
| ambv | Well I sure hope so :D | 14:47 |
| zeth | last year with Pyconuk we only had etap | 14:47 |
| matti | Guys. | 14:47 |
| zeth | well as I said, you probably wont spend much time in your room | 14:47 |
| matti | What would you also include on the conference CD? | 14:47 |
| matti | ;] | 14:47 |
| ambv | Hm. | 14:50 |
| ambv | It's not as easy as it used to be when the internet wasn't as popular. | 14:50 |
| ambv | Most of the things you can put on the CD people can download from the net. | 14:51 |
| matti | True. | 14:51 |
| ambv | And rightfully so because in a moment the CD will hold obsolete versions. | 14:51 |
| ambv | When will the conference CD be made? | 14:51 |
| matti | I am not talking about software. | 14:51 |
| ambv | Before the actual gathering or after? | 14:51 |
| matti | Before. | 14:52 |
| ambv | OK, so audio files are out of the question. | 14:52 |
| ambv | Slides are pretty much obvious. | 14:52 |
| matti | They'll be included in the conference-bag. | 14:52 |
| ambv | At the conference site, will there be wi-fi access? | 14:52 |
| matti | So far we have: slides and presentations, relevant source code and examples. | 14:52 |
| matti | Plus - books on the CC license. | 14:52 |
| ambv | If not, or if it won't be everywhere, some packages | 14:53 |
| matti | Perhaps last year talks and slides. | 14:53 |
| ambv | that will be handy while hacking during the talks | 14:53 |
| ambv | E.g. include pyjamas on the CD | 14:53 |
| matti | Hm. | 14:54 |
| ambv | if there would be any problems with obtaining it from the web during the conference | 14:54 |
| ambv | I guess Etap won't have wi-fi either. | 14:54 |
| ambv | So stuff that would be handy for an offline user - that's the thing I would want to get. | 14:54 |
| ambv | What do you think? | 14:56 |
| matti | Granted. | 14:57 |
| matti | I need to find out what it is that an off-line *yay* person might need ;] | 14:57 |
| ambv | Internet access :] | 14:58 |
| matti | :P | 14:58 |
| ambv | that would be neat: Internet access on a CD. | 14:59 |
| ambv | :D | 14:59 |
| matti | Let me see what I can do about that :P | 14:59 |
| Mez | zeth: I'm only chairing your talk as it means that I've got one less person I need to introduce myself to. And Stamina? Try running the main room for PHPLondon :D It's probably about the same | 14:59 |
| Mez | who subscribed me to the europython list anyway? | 15:02 |
| Mez | It'd damned rude! | 15:02 |
| Mez | and nearly got kicked out by my spam filters. | 15:02 |
| Mez | (which were off, fortunately!) | 15:03 |
| *** MrTopf has joined #europython | 15:24 | |
| matti | Hi MrTopf | 15:27 |
| MrTopf | Hi matti | 15:36 |
| MrTopf | btw, will we have a room again for some Barcamping like things? I would even do the intro and session planning as last year. | 15:41 |
| Mez | MrTopf there's a "Free Space" section set out for the conference days | 15:49 |
| zeth | ambv: There will be wireless access in the conference venue | 16:17 |
| zeth | but not sure about free in hotelw | 16:17 |
| zeth | hotels | 16:17 |
| zeth | so having stuff on CD is a big help that way | 16:17 |
| zeth | and some people have screwed up wireless cards | 16:17 |
| ambv | true | 16:17 |
| zeth | Mez: you should read the small print ;) | 16:18 |
| zeth | we sign you up when you register | 16:18 |
| ambv | yay for wi-fi in the venue | 16:18 |
| zeth | MrTopf: Possibly | 16:18 |
| zeth | We have talks coming out of our ears | 16:18 |
| zeth | MrTopf: if you are thinking of volunteer to run it, then please do, please send an email to the list | 16:19 |
| zeth | http://www.europython.eu/talks/timetable/ | 16:19 |
| zeth | we have open space available on Wed. Thursday | 16:19 |
| zeth | There is also sprints etc | 16:20 |
| Mez | zeth: small print ? | 16:21 |
| zeth | Mez: yeah when you register, we own all your guns. | 17:03 |
| Mez | lucky I only have 3 | 17:56 |
| *** mgedmin has joined #europython | 17:59 | |
| *** ambv has quit IRC | 18:11 | |
| MrTopf | sent a mail to the list | 18:42 |
| MrTopf | of course if there are still more talks one could also think about more rooms but that depends on budget and availability. | 18:43 |
| MrTopf | btw, I also wonder if some introduction round would be great, like giving a mic around and everybody saying his/her name and 3 tags | 18:44 |
