04:02:26 lmaurer: 10:30 am coffee break
04:02:38 lmaurer: 12:00 am lunch ( buffet )
04:03:08 lmaurer: 1:00 pm afternoon discussions
04:03:20 lmaurer: 3:00 pm coffee break ?
04:03:35 lmaurer: 5:00 pm end of OSGeo board ?
04:04:47 lmaurer: is it ok with that ? I will send a plan to arrive to the room => I have found a free parking, but all persons who need a park place have to ask me an ticket :- )
05:40:21 FrankW: lmaurer: That looks fine to me.
05:41:12 FrankW: lmaurer: Arnulf Christl had a presentation request submitted for "How do I Incubate". At some point it seems to have morphed into a BOF, but neither Arnulf nor I know why.
05:41:35 FrankW: Is it still practical to handle it as a presentation or are we to late ( which would be quite understandable )?
05:48:04 lmaurer: Ok, I will check about this !
05:48:17 FrankW: Thanks
05:49:52 lmaurer: Ok with this planning => go !
05:51:07 FrankW: lmaurer: I'm not sure what you last comment is in regard to. The Face to face meeting? The incubation presentation?
05:51:33 lmaurer: oh sorry => it was about face to face !
05:51:41 FrankW: ah, cool. Thanks!
05:51:55 FrankW: By the way, how much room is there in the f2f meeting room?
05:52:17 FrankW: Having taken the bold step to open things up in the afternoon to anyone who wants to come, now I'm worried about space!
05:53:18 lmaurer: by now, we have 1 beautiful and high tech room for about 30 persons => do you thing we need more rooms or more place in this room ?
05:54:02 FrankW: I think there is a risk of more than 30 people.
05:54:14 FrankW: But I don't want to disturb arrangements.
05:54:38 FrankW: If extras show up, would it be possible to setup a few additional chairs or something like that?
05:54:56 FrankW: They don't need to be at a table or anything like that.
05:58:51 lmaurer: I thing there's no problem, I will organize it => what about coffee break ?
05:59:01 lmaurer: morning 15 persons
05:59:05 lmaurer: lunch 15 persons
05:59:11 lmaurer: afternoon 30 persons ?
05:59:24 FrankW: yes, that soiunds good.
05:59:37 FrankW: err, "sounds"
05:59:48 lmaurer: Ok, let's go for the same room, but with more chairs !
06:00:15 FrankW: Great. We might not even need them, but if they are available somewhere we can drag them in as needed.
06:01:36 lmaurer: ok no problem
06:01:46 lmaurer: concerning your question about Arnulf
06:02:10 lmaurer: It seems that Arnulf has ask Claude to change it as BOF
06:02:41 lmaurer: but we still have a place in a session => we can arrange to place Arnulf there !
06:02:52 lmaurer: but it's too late for the conference book :- )
06:05:03 FrankW: right, that's what I was afraid of.
06:05:08 FrankW: Well, lets leave it as a bof then.
06:05:16 FrankW: It will do fine.
06:06:58 FrankW: Arnulf and I will be co-presenting it by the way.
06:09:46 FrankW: lmaurer: I'd like to get details on the meeting room into the F2F wiki page. Is the room info available?
06:10:34 lmaurer: yes, in 10 minutes :- )
06:10:42 FrankW: ah, thanks.
06:10:50 FrankW: Sorry for pushing.
06:11:57 lmaurer: no problem !
06:13:09 lmaurer: here are some info :
06:13:43 lmaurer: - free parking available, but need a parking pass => ask finance@foss4g2006.org to have one
06:13:51 lmaurer: - wifi available
06:14:23 lmaurer: - ok for more than 40-45 persons
06:14:34 lmaurer: - internationnal line open if necessary
06:15:05 lmaurer: - if you need, we can organize a video conf !!! :-P
06:15:17 lmaurer: - the plan is coming soon.....
06:15:35 lmaurer: - beamer and screen available
06:16:53 FrankW: lmaurer: Is there also paid parking? I don't mind paying for parking if it keeps the complexity down.
06:17:23 FrankW: There has been a request for video recording of activities, but I'm personally not promoting that idea since it will likely involve quite a bit of hassle.
06:20:41 lmaurer: - yes there is paid parking, but it's not problem for me => i thing It's more simple to ask me for the pass => I just send a pdf file and that's it ! => as you want !
06:21:03 FrankW: Ah cool, pretty easy it seems.
06:21:09 lmaurer: - here is the map => by underground ( M1 ) : http://plan.epfl.ch/?view=249
06:21:12 sigq: Title: OSGeo Face2Face ( M1 ) ( at plan.epfl.ch )
06:21:51 lmaurer: - here is the map => by car => http://plan.epfl.ch/?view=251
06:21:54 sigq: Title: OSGeo Face2Face ( Highway ) ( at plan.epfl.ch )
06:22:41 lmaurer: Do you need more informations ?
06:23:34 FrankW: Is there a room name/number and building name?
06:23:42 FrankW: Ah, I see it at the bottom.
06:24:44 lmaurer: it's BP building and the room is simply "A"
06:25:26 FrankW: I should refer to it as conference room A in BP building rather than as room 1122?
07:28:42 lmaurer: FrankW sorry for the delay in the answer => you should refer building "BP" roome "Salle A BP 1122"
07:30:26 FrankW: Sounds good. I'm planning to publicise the details at: http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Open_F2F_Meeting_Lausanne_2006

07:30:36 FrankW: Let me know if you see anything wrong.
08:04:40 markus_N: sorry, only back now....
08:07:51 lmaurer: FrankW I think it's also impotant to put the map "by car" => to arrive to the parking http://plan.epfl.ch/?view=251

08:11:30 FrankW: I've updated the wiki "When and Where" info.
08:11:33 FrankW: Thanks for the suggestions.
08:30:29 markus_N: lmaurer: can we only upload 1 file into Indigo for the workshops? We have 3-4 files...
08:30:57 markus_N: lmaurer: ah, maybe I have to upload all in the same moment. Will try again
08:31:26 lmaurer: no idea ! => please send an email to olivier
08:32:09 FrankW: Perhaps zip them up?
