DebConf 2011 Slides

Hello all,

My name is Zaki. Currently I am looking for debconf 2011 slides. Is it
available online? Since I could only find the videos of this event[1].

OpenPGP SmartCard group buy.

Luca Capello has kindly agreed to put in a group order to kernel
concepts for smartcards and readers, and to bring the loot to debconf in
Managua.

I started a table on

  https://wiki.debian.org/Smartcards/OpenPGP/Buying

of who want's what.  You can find links to the prices on that page
The smart cards are EUR15-20 and the readers are EUR20 -> 60. I have a
couple SCR-335 (EUR35) that I have no complaints about. Other
possibilities include the GPF crypto stick in place of card+reader.

C&W date

Hi,

<xamanu> h01ger, bubulle: There are already some dates on the website: 
http://debconf12.debconf.org/dates.xhtml it says (= the local team has 
proposed) 9th of July. Is this fine for you or should be changed?

The proposed venue is the Centro Cultural de España en Nicaragua (CCEN), which 
IMHO is a very nice place for a C&W party for a group of geeks like us :) 
For some photos see 
http://layer-acht.org/fotos/660_Nicaragua_2012/20120504_012_Sm.jpg.214.html 

_until_ 

http://layer-acht.org/fotos/660_Nicaragua_2012/20120504_017_Sm.jpg.219.html

Not shown on the fotos is a another rather big room we can also use, 200 
chairs and audio(+video) equipment. The only downside is that its 3km away 
from UCA, so we need to organize some busses, which the CCEN has experience 
with and offered to help us.

So, next step should probably be to tell the CCEN folks that we want to have 
the C&W patry there, on the 9th. Shall we?

cheers,
	Holger

Question about accommodation for two children and two adult in debconf 12

Arrival dates

Hi,

As last year [1] [2], is it reasonable for those of us arriving in the days
prior to Day 1 (i.e. Saturday or before) to have sponsored accomodation by
setting a DebCamp work plan?

This was most helpful for setting up travel plans.

Tipps for traveling through USA with a braille display?

Hi.

This might sound strange at first sight, but I am actually concerned
about me traveling through the USA on my way to Managua carrying a
braille display.  When I flew to Bordeaux two years ago I was trapped at
security in Lyon for approx. half an hour because the personell
there believed I was carrying explosive material.  This led to them
actually fetching a special security guy who ended up fetching a dog to
assert that my "strangely looking device" was not a bomb.

If french people are already making such a fuzz I am really concerned
about the USA.
My braille display is quite expensive, so giving it up on some boarder is
actually definitely not an option.

Since I have never passed through USA (on purpose) in the past, I am
quite concerned.  Does anyone have experience with US airports and
"strange looking devices".  Is there perhaps some way I can ensure that
I don't loose my €6.600,- device on my way to Managua due to silly
overcautious security?

are you going from paris to debcamp?

Hi,

the video team is looking for trustworthy + friendly people who'll be going to 
DebCamp from Paris, to carry some video gear for us to Managua and back. 

Please contact me if you qualify 

(We very very very probably cancel they big shipping idea for .ni, as it would 
probably take too much time+money plus too much uncertainity. OTOH it is not 
an issue to travel to .ni with two laptops or a laptop and a camera... :)

cheers & thanks,
	Holger

Hi all,

I just found this website, it seems exremely useful for folks looking
at multi-country trips before/after DebConf.

http://www.visamap.net/

It uses JavaScript and Google Maps to display a map Visa information.

Going to Nicaragua from Europe: avoid Iberia

Hi,

One of the options for going to Nicaragua is using the extensive network
of Iberia from Europe to Latinoamerica.
After ~6 months of failed negotiations, the pilots from Iberia are planning
to strike from April-July and it is expected to be followed for most of the
pilots.  [1]
In the meantime Iberia continues selling tickets and if nothing were happening...
So if you can avoid iberia, try it, specially if you have to be back in Europe
in a given day.

Ana
