DebCamp in Thailand

Welcome to wiki page for DebCamp in Thailand.

During visiting Mini DebConf 2009 in Taiwan, a group of Thais (Theppitak, Kitt, Neutron, and Prach) discussed with Andrew Lee about organizing a Debian-related event in Thailand. Andrew suggested to start with organizing a DebCamp. We believe many DDs would love to join the DebCamp in Thailand :)

So, this is a wiki page to gather all information required to organize the event.

Local Team

Place

Not yet decided. Kitt proposed to organize at Khon Kaen University (KKU), Khon Kaen :)

madduck: Khon Kaen was also my second favourite for DebConf Thailand, after Koh Chang. Khon Kaen ist less touristic than Chiang Mai (which would also be good, I think) and has a lot of young people, which is nice.

Date

Not yet decided, Andrew suggested around December 2009 - January 2010. You would probably be enjoy your X'Mas/New Year week in Thailand ;)

madduck: It's too short term for this, I think. This is high season in Thailand, so most flights will be booked (or really expensive), or people already have plans. I would not be able to attend. :(

Transportation

There are direct flights 3 times daily by Thai Airways International from Suvarnabhumi International Airport to Khon Kaen Airport. From the airport, the local organizer could arrange transportation to the venue. As of September 2009, one-way flight ticket ~ $USD 45-90.

madduck: back then, I knew some influential people at the TTA and the telecom, but they no longer work there, and after the uprests of last year, and after Singapore bought thai telecom, I don't have contacts anymore. :( But I will support any Debian activity in Thailand as best as I can.
