Transport

Alcester can be reached by bus, but they tend to be inconvenient. Nearest stations are about ten miles away.

From the North: find the southerly ring of the M42, and then take the A435 (J3) through Studley, Coughton and to Alcester. Leave the A435 after Coughton at the large roundabout with the B4089, B4090 and take the Birmingham Road into Alcester.

From the East: aim for Warwick, and take the A46 westbound past Stratford-upon-Avon and towards Alcester. Do not follow a sat-nav if it suggests leaving the A46 on the A3400 (could happen at a large roundabout - go straight over, do not turn right). Continue along the A46 up Red Hill, past the Stag pub and down the steep slope. After several junctions and a lay-by on the right, the road widens. Look out for a white sign directing you to the right towards Oversley Green with a weight restrictions. Turn right towards Oversley, following the Stratford Road and later Trench Lane into Alcester.

From the South: use the M40 and then proceed as above from Warwick.

From the West/SW: use the M5 and A46 north-bound past Evesham and Bidford, and at the large roundabout take the A435 northbound. At the small roundabout following the bridge, turn right into Alcester.

Accommodation and food

There is no guest accomodation at the house. The Swan Hotel has been acceptable on previous occasions, and is very convenient.

Tea/(instant) coffee/cold drinks provided. If you have preferences, like real coffee, please bring them. For food, Alcester has a selection of pubs and restaurants we can visit, unless people fancy trying to cook in what's left of my kitchen.

Bring

Please consider bringing the following items:

  • laptop computers
  • network cable (there is good wireless, but cables will trip people)

  • power adaptors
  • power bars

There is a local mirror of amd64+i386 for Wheezy, Jessie and Sid (plus some others). If you'd like anything else exotic, please bring it on a USB drive and it can be served from the mirror.

Bugs

Removed from Jessie

Worked on / responded to

  • 756253 - grub-efi-amd64 - clarified that one of the "me too" responses is not actually the same bug, followed up to OP to see if I can help debug.

  • 773029 - groonga - request less invasive patch prepared by maintainer for sponsorship

  • 773626 - libav - summarised which CVEs are not relevant, already have upstream patches and still need fixes.

  • 764798 - grub2-common - working to reproduce and debug

  • 760170 - isc-dhcp - reproduced, merged, upgraded

  • 774678 - ykneomgr - guide maintainer to doing an upload

  • 774366 - ploader - investigated RC bug, found that wxwidgets API changes is the cause; agreed with maintainer that we may as well drop it - there are other RC bugs too. Removal bug now filed (775672)

  • 725417 - mbr - prodded upstream to see if he can help

Downgraded

  • 765540 - grub-pc - initial problem report caused by user config error. It would be nice to make it harder to get wrong, but that's not RC

  • 774316 - openldap - succeeded in upgrading from wheezy to jessie with a minimal LDAP database.

  • 764798 - grub2-common - reproduced, confirmed the problem is caused by BIOS limitations, downgraded and responded to reporter.

  • 771205 - libgtk-3-0 - limited to scaling to less than 100% when printing from Gtk, not release critical.

  • 726661 - openssh-server - lack of response to moreinfo on an unreproducible bug, lowered severity to important.

  • 774724 - whyteboard - work-aroundable, not convinced it's key functionality; downgraded to important
