___[ Registration ]
For online viewing no registration is required. Just a small band Internet
access for one ssh text stream and an audio stream is required.
___[ Venue ]
The conference will be held physically in the beautiful The Magic Hotel & Spa.
It is a Hotel right next to the old city of Vitre. See it for yourself:
(HTM) The Magic Hotel & Spa
We have a full day seminar room with all amenities hackers could need on 9th
and 10th of August. There will be free coffee, tea and small snacks.
For food during the seminar / hackathon days, there are plenty of options
around the city and in the hotel. You can eat frog legs in the city too.
___[ Travel ]
Getting to the venue is pretty easy.
(HTM) The Magic Hotel & Spa Location
The best way to reach the venue is via TGV high speed train from Paris or
Rennes. The train station is right on the other side of the street of the
Hotel in the center of Vitre.
If you are coming in from international, you can fly to Paris Charles de
Gaulle airport and then take the train system directly to the venue. Rennes
has an airport too.
Other ways are donkey over very nice medieval roads, bicycle, car via the highway
between Paris and Rennes (there are many parking spaces available next to the
train station) and boat, where you can see the famous
Mont-Saint-Michel Abbey on the way.
___[ Call for Papers ]
You can always apply for a presentation, even on conference day.
Until the conference anyone presenting something about or related to the below
ttopics can send in a presentation. Please contact
Christoph Lohmann <20h@r-36.net>
or come on IRC.
Some notes on the presentations:
* The presentation environment is a 80x25 terminal you run a presentation
software in. This means, any graphical presentation will not work.
* You will speak into a microphone to the audio stream.
The easiest way to create a presentation is to use
(DIR) catpoint
(see the README.md file) and the
(DIR) pointtools
See the md files at the 2022 conference for how to easily create your
presentation:
(DIR) bitreichcon 2022
