Where
Extremadura organizers have decided that during easter season, a beautiful hall of residence of the [http://www.unex.es/ University of Extremadura] would be the [http://www.unex.es/eweb/RVC/ best place to stay]. Located in [http://www.jarandilla.com/ Jarandilla de la Vera] in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%A1ceres_%28province%29 Cáceres province].
[http://www.meteosat.com/previsiones/sp/localidades/pronostico_del_tiempo_para_Caceres.html Weather at Caceres today]
Accommodation
The organizers have reserved 12 double rooms for the event. If you have any preferences who to be with, edit [wiki:DebianEmbeddedWorkSessionExtremadura2006/Bedrooms]. Else we'll fill you in
Transport
Flying tickets are in their way...
All flights are going to Madrid, they have a new Terminal 4, a.k.a Terminator 4. Be aware, that people lose baggage and flights because flighing gates are 20-25 minutes away from security point, and a long way from checking point. Take this as a *WARNING* and please take care with your baggage. Also baggage handling is automatic and i think they really need some emdebian geeks to stay over there for a couple months fixing their stuff. Please *DO NOT LOSE YOUR GADGETS*.
Jarandilla is 240km away from Madrid.
The organization is going to take care of the transport from Madrid to Jarandilla for the attendees.
- How are people going to get to Jarandilla from the airport?
A taxidriver will pick you up there, and if there is a huge amount of people arriving at almost the same time then it will be a Bus. Most of the people seem to arrive on 12th 10am..12am, so we'll have bus then
Food
The sponsor is also taking care of food for the attendees. If somebody have any particular preference/need (like vegans or allergies) please contact the Local Contacts.
