Announcements From the Organizers

  • Conference tag: c4l10
  • Internet in guest rooms at the Renaissance Asheville is FREE. Use attwifi_meeting; we have more bandwidth and (thanks to mbklein) better IRC access. However, our bandwidth is still limited. Here's Monday's usage
  • Hospitality Suite: 1115 (“open when a warm body is there”) - has a portable projector! Looks like this
  • Hotel Map - aside from the first floor we're using Swannanoa Room (2nd Floor)

Useful Links

(is this where to sign up?  The page says it's only to list talks after they've been given, but the conference announcement said to sign up on the Wiki - where?)

Transportation

WiFi

SSH Tunneling to get around blocked ports

Ports blocked? Try this:

  • On your laptop, execute:
 ssh -f -N -L 9999:chat.freenode.net:6667 machine.I.have.rights.on

...where chat.freenode.net:6667 is the machine/port you want to eventually get to, machine.i.have.rights.on is...well, that, and 9999 is an empty port on your local machine.

You'll be prompted for a password if you need one, after which you can put it in the background.

Then you can set up your chat software to talk to localhost:9999 and you're set.

Ground Crew Contacts

Please feel free to contact us about anything, any time, between now and the end of the conference.
