[Debconf-announce] DebCamp Announcements 2016-06-26



Announcements for Sunday, 2016-06-26

== Meals ==

All times are local time (SAST,  UTC+2).

The schedule for meals for the rest of DebCamp is:

 * Breakfast: 7 - 9:30am in Fuller Dining Hall
 * Lunch: 12-2pm in the UCT Club
 * Coffee: 3-5pm in the UCT Club
 * Dinner: 6-8pm in the UCT Club

== The UCT Club ==

The UCT Club is in the Sports Centre, overlooking the rugby field, on
the road below the residence. It serves our meals during DebCamp, and
has a bar, WiFi and a warm fire.
We have arranged for a few local craft beers to be on tap. For R39/pint.

The other, more industrial lagers are cheaper.

== Heaters ==

The Fuller reception has a few heaters (and we should have a few more
next week). First come, first served.

== Clean up after yourselves ==

When hacklabs start to look a bit messy, then it's up to us to make sure
they stay clean. Please clean up after yourselves and be considerate to
your fellow hacker!

== Return orga coffee cups ==

Pollito want coffee, but all cups missing or dirty. Pollito sad, he
sleepy chicken.

== Save electricity & water ==

Pollito be ecological. You be too please. Turn off any unused lights and
taps.

== Tennis ==

The tennis wiki page has some details about the tennis courts. Simply,
usage is free, equipment is available for hire. Also, the tennis club
has a bar. It stays open until 9pm, but only if people use it.

== Staying on after DebConf ==

There are a few people staying after DebConf to explore Cape Town. Hang
around in #debconf on OFTC for some ad-hoc co-ordination.

In terms of your stay at UCT, you *have* to be checked out of Fuller
hall no later than 10:00 on July the 10th.

As we've stated before, if you need additional accommodation after that,
you will have to book it yourself.

If you have families or would like something more luxurious, we've made
a list of some close-by guest-houses:

AirBNB has a wide variety of options: https://www.airbnb.com/s/cape-town

== Enjoying DebCamp? ==

It's great hearing about the good work that everyone is doing during
DebCamp, but it's even better if you could share it to the big wide
world out there on your blog. If you don't have a blog or any accounts
on social media, then please consider posting a summary or some news to
the appropriate mailing list. It's interesting for those who couldn't
make it out and will make reporting easier for the DebConf organisers!

Hashtags you can use for DebConf are: #debconf #debconf16 #debcamp #pollito
