Selecting a date for Paper Selection F2F
Posted by Steven Feldman on January 25, 2013
At today's team call we talked about preferences for the dates to meet to select the papers and design the program. The overwhelming preference of those on the call (though that was a smallish group) was for selection to be during the working week rather than at the weekend.
AGI have already scheduled 25th and 26th of April, I am proposing that we meet 24th and 25th (I know there is an overlap for Jeremy and Claire but I understand that they can work with this).
So can you confirm for 24th and 25th April in Nottingham, starting as early in the morning of 24th as you can manage. FOSS4G will pay you hotel bill for the night of the 24th, hopefully your employes will pay your travel cost but if they won't/can't then mail me and I will try (emphasise try) to cover.

Just got a 300 euro budget from my boss for 2x travel to Nottingham. As last time I managed to fly + train for 140, that should probably cover my travel costs...
So I'm good for the F2F, preferably on weekdays...
Steven Feldman on January 28, 2013:
Look forward to having you at the F2F and of course the conference

I will ask the programme team to work on timings, agenda etc beforehand
Claire is going to reserve some rooms for us and hopefully we will stay at the on site hotel for the night. Just need to check on costs and options
Cheers

Thanks

Barry Rowlingson on February 1, 2013:
Although it would be helpful if you let me know the cost first (maybe I'll find somewhere cheaper!)

Jo Cook on February 1, 2013:
So... will definitely be attending both days, will need a room for the 24th and possibly one for the night of the 23rd too, depending on what time you want to start.

Antony Scott on February 2, 2013:
Yes on both counts.
Thanks

[Can't speak for Jo on this, she may have other plans]

I plan to arrive on the evening before our F2F meeting, i.e. I need a room for 2 nights.
Thanks, Franz-Josef

Is there already an announcement WHERE we will meet?
Claire Gilmour on April 18, 2013:
We're in the Sir Colin Campbell Building. Room B01 on Wednesday then room
B03 on Thursday and Friday (there are two halves to B03, we're in both on Thursday and one half on Friday).
I've attached a location map. The Sir Colin Campbell Building is number 12 (the building that bridges Triumph Road). The best postcode for sat nav is NG7 2TU. There's visitor parking on the other side of the road from the building reception which is pay-and-display. If that's full, then there's another car park a little further down Triumph Road (next to the building marked 14 on the map).
Jeremy Morley on April 19, 2013:
As I said on the call, note that this building (as the map shows) is on our Jubilee Campus, next to the Nottingham Geospatial Building, and -not- on the University Park campus where the EMCC is located. They're only a mile apart if we need to visit.
Regards,
Jeremy
Jeremy Morley on April 19, 2013:
Alternatively, it's a short walk from the station to the Broadmarsh bus station or Colin Street. There are a number of buses you can get - simplest is probably the 34. The bus runs along Derby Road - get off at the stop just after the junction with Triumph Road and walk up (5 mins) to the SCCB.
More on the 34 bus route here (including a Google Map): http://www.nctx.co.uk/Buses/34/
