IMHO there is no need to discuss a race condition - it brings us not
foreward in the current state.

May be the problem is that we are talking about different pages:
http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf11/Departures/RentABus
(unfortunately the mailing list archive seems to be unavailable)

Because you insist on this "before" my initial mail was send at

to debconf-discuss - you must have organised this bus in DebCamp, right?

I try to solve the problem of getting *all* people to Zagreb instead of
a view. With some basic coordination / communication this would be a
solvable problem. Finding out a clever solution for a problem (as it
might be for your 8 seat bus) and not telling the world about it is not
my style. There are up to now people wandering around and keep on asking
me about early busses. If you want to get it that way: I try to solve
Somebody Else's Problem (SEP [1]) because I found a challenging way to
make a SEP visible for me: Beeing at DebConf.
[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somebody_Else%27s_Problem
To give some summary of the current situation:
- There are 8 people who can not use the bus to the airport because
they need to be earlier.
- There is somebody who was able to find a solution to transport
8 people to the airport (which is not me, please either talk to
Jonathan or find a local).
- There will be busses to the airport / city leaving at 6:00 and
11:00 having 50 seats each and which will be able to carry all
those people who entered their name on the WikiPage
Departure/RentABus. We keep you informed about the exact rate
which should be payed in advance until Saturday afternoon.
Kind regards
Andreas.
