Rooms for Wineconf - Please act now

[Jeremy White]

Hi Folks,

I know that Wineconf is still over a month away, but you'll
really regret it if you don't make your accomodation selections now.

If you paypal (or even arrange to mail a check) to me *now*, you'll
get to hang out with all the cool people, on campus, and learn what
the "Drink-making facilities on each corridor" really means, all
for the low low price of about 40 pounds (okay, so the exchange
rate sucks, and that's $75 US, but still...)

If you *don't* get me an room request in the next few days, then I'll
have to close down our room reservation, and you'll be stuck
in some sleazy motel on the edge of town paying outrageous
sums of of money.  (Okay, they actually all look like nice places
to stay, but they will be a ways away, and they all cost more :-/).

Again, see this page for more details:

If you can't do Paypal, I can take a check in US currency as well.

Cheers,

Jeremy

I was about ready to send off the payment, but
wasn't sure how many days the rooms were booked for.
I'd like to stay the nights of the 15th, 16th, and 17th.  Is that ok?
If so, I'll paypal $75 * 3 tonight.

Yes, that should be fine; they seem to have room availability
before and after.

The thing they *don't* have (to my dismay) is rooms with double
beds (or they do, but they're very expensive; more than twice).

Cheers,

Seeing as Dan mentioned that WineConf is for Wine developers only...

Would it be very untactful of me to ask you whom of the other wine
developers you're sleeping with? :-)

<grin>

Well, a few folks are bringing spouses, who are going to go
sight seeing during Wineconf (I think we're even going to have 1 baby along...)

Cheers,

I think Molle was just having fun, and that there is no confusion,
but I just want to state clearly for the record:

Everyone is welcome at Wineconf.

However, we will unabashedly be focusing on things that
only a developer could love.  So the 'developers focus'
comment  is meant as a cautionary (boring, geeks talking
incessently about obscure and hard to follow technical
threads), not as a 'go away!'.

Cheers,

Jeremy

He means his warning. The typical off time vi verses emacs or version
control system debate can be deadly.

I thought the version control system debate is over now that we have git
and everybody is happy with it.
Also everybody knows that vim is better than emacs ;)

Heh.  No, now we can have angry discussions about why git mysteriously
fails, and is too hard to use...
