Airport Transfer

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 We're about a week-and-a-half away from Flock! I realized that, unlike past FUDCons, we haven't had a public discussion (that I can find) around transport to and from the airport. There's some limited information on the flocktofedora website[1]: * Taxis to downtown Charleston cost about $25 * Shuttles arranged by Airport Ground Transportation cost about $14/person to downtown * Rental cars are available at the airport (see below) I've started a Wiki page at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Flock:Rideshare where we can get organized. The most cost-effective solutions seem to be shared taxis ($25 for three passengers) and of course rides from other attendees with cars.

Flock information for attendees: Please review
by Ruth Suehle 05 Aug '13

05 Aug '13

Flock is just 10 days away! Here's some last-minute information for you to review. ============================ HACKFESTS ============================ All unscheduled rooms are open for collaboration and hackfests on Monday. Want to organize one? Email flock-staff(a)fedoraproject.org to reserve a room. ============================ CONFIRM YOUR FLIGHT ============================ This is most important for those with subsidized flights, but it's always a good idea when you travel. Use the confirmation number from your flight to check that it is confirmed and ticketed. I have done this for most of the flights, but several were cancelled earlier because of being paid by a third party, so it can't hurt to triple-check. ============================ DO YOU STILL NEED A HOTEL ROOM? ============================ If you still don't know where you're staying, it's time to figure it out. Email me, and I'll try to help you out. I have a couple of options. ============================ GETTING TO THE HOTEL ============================ * Taxis to downtown Charleston cost about $25 * Shuttles arranged by Airport Ground Transportation cost about $14/person to downtown * Rental cars are available at the airport To find a shared ride, list your information at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Flock:Rideshare ============================ GHOST TOURS ============================ Charleston's an old city, which makes it a fun place to go on a ghost tour. We don't have a lot of time in the weekend, but many people are arriving Thursday night, which makes it perfect, and there's a late-late tour after our party Friday. The tours are $15. If you're interested in going on a ghost tour of the old dungeon or the city jail, please fill out this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1JetuqSlW_T0GE8Tsg1pDPsrtRQqWKCZqiiUqEh21ug… ============================ PACK FOR THE WEATHER ============================ Charleston is a warm place, so feel free to dress appropriately. It also often has a brief afternoon thunderstorm this time of year. We're likely to be inside at the time of day they usually happen, but check the weather forecast the week before, and it never hurts to have an umbrella. Note that the location of our party on Saturday night has a dress code: No athletic shoes, hats, baggy clothes, or jerseys. Sleeves required. If you intend to visit any of Charleston's nicer restaurants during your stay, they are likely to have similar guidelines. ============================ SPEAKERS ============================ Don't forget to submit your slides to flock-staff(a)fedoraproject.org. ============================ YOU DIDN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION! ============================ Still have questions? Email flock-staff(a)fedoraproject.org. Ruth

Prepaid USA SIM with data
by Gianluca Sforna 31 Jul '13

31 Jul '13

For those not in the flock-planning list, I asked advice [1] on prepaid SIM data plans to avoid roaming charges while in the States. TL;DR; I bought a 7 days two-pack readysim [2] for 47$ (less than 20€ each) and let them ship it to the hotel (in my case, the Hampton Inn). It is based on the T-Mobile network, has unlimited SMS, unlimited voice calls in the US and 500Mb of data, including tethering. See you at flock!
