Details
On Oct. 22, Debian Users (Jordi, Simó and Mònica) met UB (University of Barcelona) staff (Anna and Jaume) in order to define a context for this proposal.
Topics talked (pictures included) about were:
Rooms and spaces
Work room for up to 70 persons. Photo.
- Talk room #2 (if needed): up to 100 persons, similar to the last one.
- Toilets.
Entrance, where Infopoint and merchandising booth can be placed. Photo.
All spaces are in the ground floor (in the Mathematics faculty).
Wi-Fi
TBD. Connection requires authentication. We must request an user for these days. This is a work in progress.
Advertising in the building
We can put a huge banner if no other UB event is celebrated during the same days (and if we can do that).
We will be allowed to put a double banner at the entrance.
- Days before the conference, posters can be placed to announce the event to the students.
Kids
There is no room available for kids and their parents, and it is not possible to move chairs or tables in the rooms.
If anybody comes with children, they could stay in the corridor/patio, which has seats where they can relax (with or without a cup of café con leche :-)).
Café
There is no Café service, but there are vending machines (snacks and drinks). This will not be a big problem, as we will be in the centre of Barcelona, so there are many restaurants and bars nearby.
When? (Dates)
We are planning around March 15th and 16th (the best choice for us) or March 22nd and 23rd.
Backup
We have to look for an alternative place if we finally can't meet in UB for any reason.
