This afternoon (Friday) at WineConf
by Bradley M. Kuhn June 29, 2018

June 29, 2018

Greetings! I'm Bradley M. Kuhn from Software Freedom Conservancy, which is the non-profit home for the Wine project. This is my first WineConf and I'm told the list is how we all find out what's going on. Related to that, Jeremy White just came through the lobby and asked if someone would let the list the following: We have a designated table in the lobby for people to hang out this afternoon. Henri mentions as a separate matter that if you signed up for the city tours, please meet in the lobby at 14:45. There are one or two slots left for the tours if you didn't sign up. -- Bradley M.

Wineconf story time - please introduce yourself
by Jeremy White June 29, 2018

June 29, 2018

So a number of us have arrived, and are going to go walk about in the sunshine to attempt to stave off jet lag. Looks like there is a new terrace bar that might be fun later on as well. A note - this event is in large part a social event. Many of us know each other already, so if you are new, we are eager to meet you, and you should feel welcome to introduce yourself. We had an attendee in Stuttgart who sat one table over from us the whole night and never introduced himself. I was deeply embarrassed to discover that the next morning when we put on name tags. We would have loved to include him, and ever since then, I've made a point of asking new people to connect. Shoot an email if you are here but have not connected yet, and we'll find a way to make some introductions. Cheers, Jeremy

Delayed by exactly 24 hours
by Alex Henrie June 27, 2018

June 27, 2018

Hello everyone, My flight with American Airlines was canceled today due to mechanical problems. I have been rescheduled for the same flight plan tomorrow morning. This means that I will arrive in Amsterdam Thursday at 8:15am instead of Wednesday at 8:15am, and I will arrive in The Hague about an hour after that. Fortunately, remembering how much trouble I've had with international flights in the past, I had planned an extra day of tourism before the conference just in case. So even with a full day of delay, I should still be there for all of WineConf and some tourism besides. Looking forward to seeing you! -Alex

Parking in The Hague
by Francois Gouget June 20, 2018

June 20, 2018

I checked out where to park my car for WineConf and here is what I gathered. Parking in the city centre is pretty expensive, seems to be about 40€ per day. The cheaper alternative is to use the Park and Ride parkings on the periphery. https://www.denhaag.nl/en/parking/parking-in-the-city/park-and-ride-the-hag… * P+R Hoornwijck + tram 15 https://www.denhaag.nl/en/parking/parking-in-the-city/pr-and-tram-fast-and-… https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/52.04951/4.34821 This is probably the simplest solution. It's a multi-storey parking, there's one tram every 10 minutes and the trip takes about 13 minutes. The cost is 5€ for the first day, including the tram ticket, then 7.5€ per additional day and the return tram ticket on the last day. * P+R Station Ypenburg + NS Sprinter https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/52.0553/4.3881 The parking is free but not covered and there is video surveillance. You can get downtown in 8 minutes, there is a train every 15 minutes and the ticket costs 2.30€ * P+R De Uithof + tram 4 https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/52.03945/4.24470 The parking is free and in a pretty lush forest-ish environment. You can get downtown in 26 minutes, there is a tram every 10 minutes and the ticket costs 2.21€. -- Francois Gouget <fgouget(a)free.fr> http://fgouget.free.fr/ E-Voting: It's not the people who vote that count.

When to look for people
by Jeremy White June 18, 2018

June 18, 2018

Hey folks, Usually we share flight arrival info on this mailing list and then have the entertaining game of trying to remember whether so and so is going to arrive soon and can we safely head for dinner without ditching them. With the larger group, I thought I'd perhaps try to organize it a bit more; you are invited to share your info on the the following Google doc: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MrSTLZNLx8b-eC_Ev_eUSNNNxarcSd2Njth… Note that is a public link, so please only share info you don't mind being publicly visible. Cheers, Jeremy
