DebConf Announcements for Tuesday, 2016-07-05
== Travel Reimbursements ==
Bremner will be at front desk between 12:00 and 14:00 to handle travel
reimbursement paperwork.
== Daytrip sign up ==
Late sign-ups are still ok for most trips at:
* https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf16/DayTrip/Signup.
Pick only one option. Please note the popular option to Cape Point now
has another bus available.
Available options:
1. Robben Island (Prison)
2. Cape Point Nature Reserve and Boulders Beach
3. Fairy Glen Safari
4.1. Table Mountain via Cable Station and trip to Seal Island (Hout
Bay), via Chapman's Peak drive
4.2. Table Mountain Hike and trip to Seal Island (Hout Bay), via
Chapman's Peak drive
5. Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens
NOTE: There is now an option for hiking up (and optionally down) Table
mountain instead of just using the cable car. Please check if you are in
the right group if you signed up for hiking.
Check your departing times and eventual fee to be paid on coaches.
Please try to get the right amount of change (cash and Rands only). ATM
locations are on your name tag.
DOUBLE CHECK YOUR SELECTION! Unfortunatelly there were some rewrites in
the wiki, so your name could have been moved on the wrong option.
Pollito say: If you don't like to be squeezed, good shoes, warm wear and
a bottle of water recommended
== Food and Water for day trip ==
Breakfast is served in Fuller, and the packed lunches contain 500mL
water. Please take more if at all possible and stay hydrated. These
packed lunches are also for people staying at UCT.
== Hacking during the daytrip ==
Fuller hacklabs will be open, Snape and the Blue lab are open. Front
desk and talk rooms are closed.
== Food Cards ==
We'd like to remind everyone to write their name of the blue food cards.
We had a few cases of lost cards... which we try to avoid as much as
possible.
If you found a lost card, please bring it back to front desk, or ping
the owner on IRC.
When you have finished eating, please bring the food trays to the carts
near the kitchen doors so they can be taken away. Pollito say clear away
own trays!
== Video Team Volunteers ==
The video team needs more volunteers to help record and stream DebConf
talks. Please come to a training session during the afternoon Coffee
Break, in Menzies 11A.
Volunteers, please use the volunteer system to coordinate your work.
