FOSS4G'13

Cover:

Maps: 
For the inset map of the Park campus relative to the city, is there any scope is shifting this slightly to show the Derby Road intersecting with the ring of roads around the city centre (where the "CITY" label is located?  The main bus route into town from the campus runs along Derby Road.
- I'd take the "P" symbol off the Sports centre as it's not really relevant for our purposes.
- The Portland Building is referred to in the text. Should this be highlighted on the map (east of the Trent Building on the map, on East Drive).

Welcomes:

• Switch Steven's photo

Replace the last paragraph of Steven's welcome with:

Robin Hood is the mediaeval and possibly mythical hero of Nottinghamshire. He allegedly stole from the rich to give to the poor and challenged the established order, more recently his name has been adopted for an Open Source license (yes go search for it). I think Robin Hood would have been quite impressed by the FOSS4G community that has gathered here this week to celebrate our efforts and achievements in making "Geo for All".

Enjoy yourselves!

END

P1: shift the text under Steven's photo down a bit? It looks unnecessarily crammed up under the photo

P3: The text wrapping looks different for Anne's and Jeremy's sections: Jeremy's text wraps under his photo. Might be neater in the same format?

• Anne Kemp's signature is against Jeremy's text

Conference Info and Admin:
Catering para 2: GeoCamp (not geocamp)

See note above about highlighting the Portland Building on the map.

"In using the conference Internet, you will be required to agree to the University of Nottingham terms and conditions for internet use." - change "the University of Nottingham" to "our service providers' " because we are using the DeVere network in the EMCC & GeoCamp, but the UoN network in the other buildings.

"There is porter cover until 12am" - just to be clear, change to "12 midnight"?

P6: "Don’t leave bags, phones, laptops or other equipment unattended" - has an extra line break crept in between "or" and "other"?

"The emergency services number in the UK is 999."  Add:
"On the University of Nottingham's University Park campus, the university's emergency number is 0115 951 8888 (this is an ordinary external phone number) or 8888 from an internal phone. You will need to give the nature and location of the incident

For non-emergency problems, security can be contacted on extension 13013 from any internal phone."

Sponsors & Advertisements:


Organising Committee, Volunteers & Thanks:

• Photo needed for Suchith, Claire, Ian H, Rollo, Mark, Matt
• P10: is it just my eyes (Jeremy), or are the left margins slightly different for the headings and main text? Probably just me...
• The column formatting on the list of volunteers is a bit shonky because Maria el Pilar Reyes Careaga crashes into the third column. Also, there's a 'Jermiane Hutchison' which is an odd first name which might be 'Jermaine'? But maybe not. Karl-MagnusJohnsson doesn't seem to have a space in his name, maybe you can take the extra space in Pieter    Kempeneers who seems to have too many. There's also an 'Elisabet' with no last name...

Conference Location:

• p13: assume lower pic will be replaced
• "Bus: University Park and Jubilee Campus are both on major bus routes" - add:
  
   ", in particular the 34 bus route provides a direct link from the University Park campus along Derby Road to the city centre. It loops around the city centre to return. Details including maps of this service can be found here: http://www.nctx.co.uk/Buses/34/ 
  
  Generally any of the Nottingham City "Orange Line" services stop close by the University Park campus - for example you can get off by the Queens Medical Centre at the end of Derby Road and walk into the campus at the North Entrance. See route details here: http://www.nctx.co.uk/lines/orange-line/
  
  The best bus service to and from East Midlands Airport is the Skylink which stops on University Boulevard, close to the South Entrance of the University Park campus. More details are available from the Trent Barton bus company, here: https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/services/skylinknottingham/maps-and-times  
  
  Cycles: the City of Nottingham run a cycle hire scheme called "Citycard Cycles". To get access, you need first to get a free Nottingham Citycard (http://www.citycardnottingham.co.uk/HowtogetanEasyriderCitycard.html ). You can then register for the cycle scheme (http://www.citycardnottingham.co.uk/CitycardCycles.html )."
  
  (Sorry, I know this may be difficult to achieve without rethinking the whole layout).

There will be a “Tastes of Britain” buffet supper with food and drink from around the UK, followed by our headline act, Steve and Helen from Festival of The Spoken Nerd, presenting unashamed geekery from their hit shows such as “Full Frontal Nerdity” and “Technobabble". They will be 'bookended' by local pianist and all-round jazz virtuoso Chris Conway and his band, playing some of Chris’s own compositions as well as jazz standards.
