This is an organizational page for a KDE Promo event:
Northwest Linux Fest
Please join the kde-promo mailing list and/or #kde-promo if you are interested in helping!
Basic Details
- 25th and 26th of April 2009
- Bellingham Technical College, Bellingham, Washington, United States of America.
- Approximately 60 minutes by car from Seattle International.
- Rent a car at airport or get a local to drive us: people going with licenses so far: condordes. (Alex if she gets her ID! Bug her!), person driving Chani down?
- Carl Symons, the LFNW guy, suggested that for most booths 1-3 people was sufficient [note: that is *in* the booth, presumably]
- How many we need probably depends on how much swag/stealables we'll have and how many people are giving talks. And if we have people who like to eat food or not. Blauzahl

Hotel rooms
- Which hotel do we get? This sort of depends whether we rent a car or are hitching rides i.e. no hotel is right across the street from the college. Their website lists the following local choices and deals: http://linuxfestnorthwest.org/lodging.html
The Hampton is apparently about 4 km away and danborne does not mind walking. [danborne]
- You might mind walking after being on your feet all day?Blauzahl
- If we have some sort of transportation, we could camp... that is pretty much free. We might also ask if they've extra dormintory space.
- I'd think they would have mentioned it if that were an option, but it doesn't hurt to ask. I'd think staying with locals would be more likely. I have no clue how large of a city it is there, so I have no clue how feasible camping is. I guess I do have a sleeping bag now. :D Hauling camping gear on top of the rest of what we're taking sounds suboptimal, however. Blauzahl
