Dear all,
here is a brief update of the plannings for the summer convention:
- Our server had been unreachable several times between August 1st and 3rd. This was caused by the physical move of the machines from Berlin to Frankfurt/M and several problems that had occurred to that (see also: Murpheys Laws). We think, that all problems are solved now and that the server should be available continously again - at least our ISP said so ;-).
- We have started launching the programme: Please check out at http://www.freifunk.net/sc2004/wiki/ProgramSchedule. This is still work in progress and will be filled with more and more details within the next days. If you are planning a speech, presentation or workshop yourself, please add it to the call for papers section and give us some contact information, so that we can coordinate it with the schedule.
- The deadline for registration and payment is Monday, August 30th 2004. But please don't wait until then. You can make it a lot easier for us, if you register and pay as soon as possible.
- There is a danish bank account now for the Danish regitrants. You will be mailed the accounting details when you register.
- There is a telephone hotline in Djursland to provide you with local travelling information and a shuttle service from Aarhus and Grenaa. Please call them to make appointments at least two hours in advance at +45 602 500 13.
- By now, we are awaiting 150-250 people from more than 30 nations arround the globe. We are expecting the summer convention to be one of the most international meetings of it's kind in Europe. This is of course only made possible by the great support from the wireless for development project and the people from DjurslandS?.net. Right back from there, JuergeN? was very impressed by the beautiful landscape in the summer months. People there are expecting an Indian summer in September and we really want to encouridge you to stay there for the workcamp to enjoy both: fresh air and free networks. You will find some updated pictures from there in the accomodations section and here: http://www.freifunk.net/sc2004/wiki/MorePictures
- We are planning to rent a bus from Berlin via Hamburg to the Djursland. It will leave Berlin on late Thursday evening or latest on early Friday morning. If you need a lift from either of these citys, then please let us know as soon as possible. Also there might be a bus driving from Copenhagen. For these plannings you have to provide us with your detailled travelling plannings until August 15th. Also if you are driving by car and have some space left or you need a lift, please have a look at http://www.freifunk.net/sc2004/wiki/CarSharing.
See you soon!
The team.
