• BBQ Sprint

  • Few checkpoints

    Hi all,
    
    Wow, it's getting closer.
    
    1) Camp 5 early bird registration ends tomorrow. If you are planning on 
    sending some people, please get them signed up so that we can place 
    their book orders, etc.. The more the local volunteers can do in 
    advance, the smoother things go.
    
    2) Travel:
    
    The arrival/departure schedule for sprinters is here:
    
    http://www.openplans.org/projects/bbq-sprint/arrival-departure-schedule
    
    All: If you feel comfortable doing so, post your cell number on the 
    chart so that people picking you up or trying to find you for first 
    night dinner can locate you.
    
    Calvin: you need to buy a ticket right away and let me know how much it 
    is so I can reimburse you.
    
    Alec: Could you fill in your departure schedule. That will help 
    coordinate ground travel. Either I'm taking you to the airport of some 
    TriZPUG volunteer is. We have to schedule volunteers in advance if we 
    need them.
    
    Jackie: Check my last email to you. I need to know how to send you 
    payment for your ticket. Paying OpenPlans directly is fine. I just need 
    to know how to do that. Can OpenPlans receive Paypal funds? Or is there 
    an address to which I need to send a check via snail mail?
    
    Whit, Tres, Chris: please fill in your arrival/departure times when you 
    know them. Especially Whit, because you and Philipp may be getting here 
    around the same time. I want to make sure we all meet up for classroom 
    inspection and dinner on the first Friday.
    
    3) There may be opportunity during the sprint to brief newbie sprinters 
    on some aspect of something they will be sprinting on. You all each have 
    your own talents and expertises. If you can be called upon to give 
    extemporaneous presentations during the sprint if needed (presentations 
    you have already given elsewhere, that is, or topics you feel you can 
    expound upon extemporaneously), please flesh out what those topics could 
    be here:
    
    http://www.openplans.org/projects/bbq-sprint/presentation-specialties
    
    Some examples were pre-filled in. Feel free to delete anything you don't 
    want beside your name.

    If people would be interested, I'll be happy to do a one-day tutorial  
    on grok some time during the sprint.
