Needed info

Does anyone know how far the University is from the Airport, and how to get there (by train or otherwise)? Same applies for the KDE reserved accommodation and the University - and if we're using public transport again what time does it stop running/start running again?

Accommodation


Accommodation will be 15 EUR a night including breakfast (cheaper than last year). There are only 160 beds available. Preference: KDE e.V. members and contributors, invited
persons (from GNOME and other projects) and then if there are empty beds,
other visitors of the conference.

There's a Youth Hostel at http://www.inturjoven.com/red_detalle.asp?Id=16 (Spanish only). Rates range from 15 EUR to 20 EUR per night depending upon age.

All other accommodation is listed at http://www.andalucia.org/modulos.php?modulo=Alojamientos&nuevoidioma=eng

Conference


Apparently the conference is taking place in the University itself so internet etc shouldn't be an issue.

As for papers, is anyone from GB planning on doing any presentations? Jonathan - if you go are you going to be writing up the talks?

Does anyone know when the schedule for the conference will be finalised? I submitted an abstract, and the response date is on the website as 30 June, but that's been and gone, and no news. As a matter of fact, about 6 weeks before the event, there seems to be very little hard info on the website. Does anyone know what the state of play is?

Kit


We'll need some kit - preferably European -> UK power adaptors and lots of 4-way extension leads. George will bring along a couple of 4-ways if he's coming, plus a European adaptor.
