Dear DC15 participants, Please take your time to read over the following announcements. We're trying to keep them short, but we need a way to inform you of important stuff. Wiki ==== We try to keep the wiki up-to-date (and it would be great if you helped us). Please refer to https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf15 and specifically https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf15/FAQs in case of questions. Video Streams ============= All talks in the rooms Heidelberg, London/Berlin and Amsterdam will be streamed live online, and available for download later. For further information, in particular for the exact URLs, see https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf15/Videostream IRC Channels for Remote Participation ===================================== For irc discussions and asking questions from remote, the following irc channels on irc.debian.org have been created: #debconf-heidelberg #debconf-berlinlondon #debconf-amsterdam Ad-Hoc Talks ============ We setup a flipchart for the open spots next to frontdesk. Put in your name and talk title, and it will be added to summit. This is an ad-hoc procedure for Open Weekend and might be refined later during DebConf, stay tuned. Job Fair ======== The job fair will take place Saturday afternoon from 14:00-18:00 outside Heidelberg. The following companies will take part: * HP * credativ * conova * 1&1 * Two Sigma * BMW Group * Mirantis There will also be a job wall with additional job offers in the same area. Lightning Talks and Live Demos ============================== More lightning talks and live demos are still welcome and needed! Submit your lightning talk or live demo to islightningreal@debconf.org Include the following information: * Type (lightning talk or live demo) * Talk name * Description * Optional comments For further information, see the original announcement at http://lists.debconf.org/lurker/message/20150801.231500.9c75610f.en.html Bed sheet replacements ====================== The hostel offered to provide fresh bed sheets to anyone who strips their bed by Saturday, 10:00 and drops the used sheets into the laundry bins provided. There will be another chance to get fresh bed sheets on Wednesday, but as we assume that only very few people will want another change, you'll need to pick them up yourself from the hostel reception. Drink Coupons Only ================== Starting Saturday, the bistro (and the beer wagon) will not accept cash anymore. You can buy the refundable coupons for 20€ at reception. Meal Shifts =========== We are expecting a lot of people and so we are asking you to try to eat during specific time windows. More infomation is on the wiki and on the signs by the cafeteria: https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf15/MealShifts Video Team Volunteers ===================== The video team always needs volunteers. Please say hi in #debconf-video on irc.debian.org for training and meeting announcements. Online Schedule =============== If you are used to checking out the DebConf schedule via e.g. the giggity android app, here is a URL you can point it at: https://summit.debconf.org/debconf15.xml The giggity author also added it to the list of automatically displayed conferences, so it should work out of the box. Wasp Stings =========== There are a lot of wasps. It's best to just ignore them. If you get stung, front desk has cooling pads, as well as some medication. If you have an allergic reaction (or see someone), please call 112 immediately and inform front desk. Michael
