Directions

By Plane

The closest airport is Düsseldorf International.

There is a regional train from Düsseldorf airport. Go to "Bahnhof Düsseldorf Flughafen Terminal S" which is not the main train station of the airport ("Bahnhof Düsseldorf Flughafen"). From there, take the S7 direction Solingen. Get off after five minutes in Düsseldorf-Derendorf. From platform 2, take the S6 direction Essen Hbf. Get off at Werden S. The fare is €4.50 ("B"). Text me (Marcel) when you board the train in Derendorf or when you have got lost.

By Car

Get your route from Google Maps

  • A52, exit Essen-Kettwig
  • A40
By Train

Main train station is Essen Hauptbahnhof. From there

  • take either express bus SB 19 from Hauptbahnhof (number 7 on this map) and get off at the stop "Am Schwarzen".
  • or go to platform 12, take the regional train S6 Köln-Nippes. Get off at Werden S.

For either choice the fare is €2.30 ("A2"). Text me (Marcel) when you board the bus or the train to be picked up.

Preparation

To bring

  • notebook
  • network cable

Experience shows that wireless usually breaks down at the beginning of a coding sprint, so ethernet is preferred and we need a

  • network hub or switch

Would be great if someone could bring one. Michael: I will bring two hubs, five ports+uplink each (in spite of 5/5+uplink in my e-mail) and also power extension cords with multiple outlets (at least one 5 port and one 8 port).

Common Topics for Discussion and Coding

  • Marble
    • Clustering
    • Geo-view: icon view with a map in background?
    • OpenStreetmap, Nokia Ovi, Google Maps API v3
  • Model / View
    • Introduction to the concept?, sharing experience
    • Current status in digikam
    • porting for 1.1
  • Color Management
    • ksane + digikam: sharing experience & code?
  • MySQL
    • Current status of branch
    • Merge with HEAD
    • Test, make it work
  • Image Versioning

Food

Very important topic ;-) We can do some cooking. My suggestion is semi-self-made Pizza for Friday evening and Spaghetti for lunch Saturday and Sunday. Add any objections or wishes here in the wiki.

Last year in Genoa we went to a restaurant for dinner Saturday evening, I enjoyed that quite much. I would suggest we continue in this tradition this year as well.
