Hello folks
with the mini summit now done, this is just a friendly reminder: we should all be making arrangements for the Cambridge sprint the first week of August (1st - 5th). There are a few things involved, most of which should be obvious and details of which can be found here:
https://wiki.linaro.org/Events/2011-08-LDS
In short, we all need to be looking into:
- Event Registration - Travel/airline tickets - Hotel (see info on the package deal for Linaro)
And some may need to look into (I cannot directly help with whether or not this affects you personally):
- VISA
This takes 2-3 months for some, so get on it NOW. At least let Arwen Donaghey (arwen.donaghey@linaro.org) know that you need help (letters of introduction/justification/whatever) acquiring a Visa so we can track what needs to happen.
Also, some of the member companies are asking for justification for why their assignees need to go the event. As done for other work groups this can be turned around and the answer should be: "if you don't think you need to go, then you need to justify why it isn't important for you to go". I think that judging by the way the mini summit went we are all vital to the success of the activities in Multimedia and we should all take every opportunity we can to do plenty with all of the face to face access we get with each other as well as other teams in Linaro and the community (we will be inviting some folks to join us for the event).
I can start by confirming that I have registered, have airline tickets, a booking at the Belfry and require no Visa to travel to the UK. All I need is my train ticket (which I will buy at Kings-X when I arrive). I will need to leave a bit earlier from the event on Friday the 05th, as I have to be in Helsinki on the 06th, and my flight leaves from LHR at 18:30 on Friday evening.
BR,
