What a short conference, it seems. I'd love to go, but PPUS is broke. :\<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Nov 16, 2008 at 2:27 AM, Anton Tamminen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:anton.tamminen@piraattipuolue.fi">anton.tamminen@piraattipuolue.fi</a>></span> wrote:<br>

following information:<br>
<br>
Location: Helsinki, Finland<br>
Dates: January 30th (Friday) to February 1st (Sunday)<br>
<br>
<br>
The initial schedule is as follows:<br>
<br>
Friday<br>
We expect people to arrive along the day. We will be hanging out with<br>
the local pirates and get to know each other. If there are any minors<br>
attending, I'd like to know this beforehand, as we'll probably be<br>
visiting some restaurants.<br>
<br>
Saturday<br>
We'll get started on whatever work we need to do not-too-early in the<br>
morning. We are yet to confirm the exact location of our gatherings, but<br>
it'll probably be in the city centre. In the evening those that are<br>
interested are welcome to hang out with the local pirates and<br>
<br>
Sunday<br>
We'll be continuing our work until somewhere past noon, after which we<br>
accept that people start leaving.<br>
<br>
Try to book your flights ASAP as this will save you money. You will be<br>
going for the Helsinki-Vantaa airport, from which it's a 30 minute drive<br>
to the city. You can either take a taxi (probably around 30 euros), a<br>
finnair flight bus (some 10-20 euros) or public transport (about 3.50e<br>
or so, takes a bit longer). If you want to, we can try to pick you up by<br>
the airport but we will need to know when you are arriving. It'd bee<br>
good if you could book your flights so that you arrive as early as<br>
possible on friday so you have time to get acquainted with Helsinki,<br>
your accommodation and the conference arrangements. We'll also instruct<br>
you about moving around Helsinki. Let's hope you find your visit<br>
interesting ;)<br>
<br>
If any of you wants to come but cannot afford accomodation in the<br>
hotels/motels/jugendherbergen in Helsinki, please inform me about this<br>
well beforehand and we'll try to arrange something.<br>
<br>
You can also present any and all questions about the arrangements to me.<br>
