parking logistics

Netdev0x12-ers.. I'm planning to drive from the Metro Boston area to Netdev 2018 (leaving tuesday, returning saturday, if you are interested in car pooling).. and I am trying to figure out the Best Practices for navigating Montreal, hopefully some locals on the list can share their wisdom.. what's the neearest underground-parking-garage entrance to the downtown Marriott@Rene-Levesque? I see a garage exit on Rue Jeanne Mance on google satellite, but no entrance. Street-by-street driving tips from the marriott would be helpful for me! Also how does that system work? Is it the typical "get a parking ticket on the way in, and pay on the way out, the system will calculate the best rate that applies (probably the 24 hour rate in my case)" --Sowmini

0x12: Accommodation offer
by Jamal Hadi Salim 09 Jul '18

09 Jul '18

If you havent booked your hotel yet or want to save and can still cancel your hotel, a very kind Montrealer is offering accommodation on their spare bedroom. For privacy reasons, ping me and I will forward you to them. The location is approximately ~30 min away from Netdev conference via public transports - but not to worry about getting lost your host is going to the conference as well. The hosts are offering bed and breakfast to one person (or 2 if they sleep in the same bed). They have a cat and a dog so cannot accommodate people who are allergic to them. cheers, jamal

by Jamal Hadi Salim 07 Jul '18

07 Jul '18

This is for folks intending to attend the IPSec tutorial: https://www.netdevconf.org/0x12/session.html?ipsecike-tutoriallab The hands-on involves student participation. If you are going be running some non-linux OS on your laptop for the Linux IPsec tutorial, please make sure to download and install virtualbox: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads Then please download the netdev-centos-devel.ova from https://www.files.netdevconf.org/d/2ee3635c9d4448e3b8b9/ and bring up the virtual machine in virtualbox by following the menu pointers to do File -> Import Appliance point it at the downloaded netdev-centos-devel.ova and go through the steps to import appliance. Paul Wouters(on Cc) will soon send out additional instructions to make sure you have the latest libreswan rpms.. (If you run linux natively on the laptop, the extra indirection through virtualbox is redundant of course!) - login/passwd = netdev0x12/netdev0x12 - set up network as "Bridged Adapter" and over wireless network (assuming everyone is doing this on their laptop connected over conference wireless) cheers, jamal

0x12: Reminder to register
by Jamal Hadi Salim 27 Jun '18

27 Jun '18

Folks, The conference is about two weeks away. If you have been procrastinating - now is the time to register. As you can see we have amazing talks, working sessions and tutorials. We have a legend giving a keynote. Thanks to the Program Committee. Check: https://www.netdevconf.org/0x12/schedule.html We wish we didnt have the parallel tracks on day 1 because if you are like me, I am sure you will want to attend all the sessions. Perhaps we should not have reopened the CFS. Alas. Lessons learnt. The "Bits, Nibbles, Bytes and Words" event is expected to be a great human-networking event amongst geeks: whether you want to chit-chat with like minded people in a social environment, see what our sponsors are up to or just looking for job opportunities, come and mingle in a comfortable environment. Apart from the talks - Montreal is amazing. We are going to continue updating you with what you could do in Montreal but for starters do look at: https://www.netdevconf.org/0x12/montreal.html To the locals in Montreal: If we are missing anything you think is exciting to see - ping us at info(a)netdevconf.org We are also in the process of setting up a wiki where we will add a lot more info.. Before i forget, to register goto: https://www.netdevconf.org/0x12/registration.html cheers, jamal
