[Debconf-announce] DebConf14 DayTrip - Important Information
Hello, Happy DebConfers!
DebConf in Portland is quickly approaching and we're applying the final
touches on the social event plannings. You've had information about the
Cheese & Wine Party and some general information about the DayTrip[0]. I'd
like to get you more precise information about the DayTrip now that we have
everything confirmed.
If you are interested in the 3-hour long rigorous hike, you should already
be signed up for a slot on the early bus[1] (to leave at 8am on Wednesday
morning).
For those who aren't leaving on the early bus, we will be leaving Portland
State University at 9:30am Wednesday morning, and also visiting the
beautiful Columbia River Gorge, with stops at Multnomah Falls, Vista House
and Rooster Rock State Park for our picnic lunch.
* To enjoy everything without overcrowding, we're dividing the "later buses"
into 2 groups, who will visit the same places, just in reverse order.
* If you have already indicated you will be joining us on the DayTrip in
Summit, we know who you are, and we're already planning for you to join
us.
* If you will be having people accompany you who are *not* registered in
Summit, we need to know about them as soon as possible. We don't need
specific information; a generic "+1" on our RSVP page[2] will suffice.
* There have been concerns expressed that the later groups will have no
recreation time. Please take a moment to read more about our History and
Nature Adventure[2]. Piling people on a bus and not allowing them to
interact with our beloved gorge was never the intention for this DayTrip.
* The DayTrip page[0] has information about bus departures and where they
will be leaving. We will have more precise information on how to pick up
your sack lunch closer to the date.
In summary - we're pleased and excited to share this historic and gorgeous
slice of Oregon with everyone. Please make sure we have the information
necessary to make this visit as enjoyable as possible!

At times, you may end up far away from home; you may not be
sure of where you belong, anymore. But home is always
there... because home is not a place. It's wherever your
passion takes you.
