DebConf Videoteam Sprint
Dates
We plan to sprint from Monday November 20th to Thursday November 23rd, a few days before the Cambridge Mini-DebConf.
This will leave us Friday November 24th as a setup day for the Mini-DebConf. If everything goes well, we can also use the 2 days of the Mini-DebConf to sprint.
Venue
A large airbnb house in Cambridge, fairly close to ARM.
Getting There
See the Cambridge Mini-DebConf wiki page.
It also seems renting bikes is a nice way to get around town
Accommodation
We have 5 bedrooms in our AirBnB, for sprint attendees. These are available for the miniconf too, at around GBP 60 per person per night during the miniconf.
