 Okay, again, this should be presentation of depth of 9 bits for the Depth of 9 somewhere We currently only have one presentation If another one shows up during this both great fine. We can add some too But for now it's only extra Madura in Spain With what was your name? with Cesar so Have fun. Thank you Hello everybody, my name is Cesar as kind of said and I'm here to Present the bit of extra Madura to host depth conf 9 in Spain. I Work as a GNU Linux developer for the regional government and we are Interested in hosting depth conf for several reasons one of them is that we love Davian and We like to support free software projects like this one. So let's start Where is a stermatura located? Well, Extremadura East in the southwest part of Spain near the border with Portugal and In the middle of a triangle between Madrid Seville and Lisbon you can see it with the arrow the city we Have chosen these cathedrals Which is the capital of the cathedrals province with 91,000 inhabitants and also considered as a world heritage center by the UNESCO It's a beautiful city not because I live there and Cathedrals is also one of the main cultural cities of Spain for centuries and it is also a beader for the European capital of the culture in the year 2016 one of the good things about Extremadura or Spain is that We don't have any hardware restrictions and no import regulations You can see here a picture of the Extremadura and daddy and Betty and work session and you may know some of these guys and girls So you probably realize that they brought a lot of weird hardware and weird computers to Extremadura without any kind of problems Europe and States to I can see joy there. We have here also people from Russia three or four I can see so There is no problem with hardware We will be able to Deliver visas for everybody This was sorry Hello, I Been there, so I was in the I was in the picture And Maya was there also and What there I was helping with the staff organizing and You can see people from the US, but they are sponsored their trip for Joey has There's a wookie from United Kingdom and there's people from Russia They did like a really good job getting their visas because there was like a lot of stuff to do for them to be able to to come over and That meeting really help The project not just the embedded deviant project, but it helped a lot with the army help port There's Leonard there too. He's the guy that did did that port so that was a really We the time that we spend there It was really helpful for the project Thank you, doctor we also held the internationalization work session there in Casa de Cáceres and You can see here people from all over the world. I can see people from Bangladesh from India Israel Japan South Africa and Almost all around the world and without problems. We can even sign some invitations with the minister signature, so it is easy for us to Collect all the people from all around the world as you can see an important thing is The venue of course it will be free of charge for the deviant project the cultural institution behind the management of the complex is Wanting to sponsor the conference So it will be easy because we need to pay For the facilities of the venue It is also really really close to the sleeping quarters the city of Cáceres is Not a big city. So we have almost everything we need there and As a public building it is also prepared for handicapped people with elevators rams Banners in Braille and it's a safe place too and of course the Main thing and the main point is that audio video and the network is already installed there the complex is made for hosting some concerts and a lot of conferences to We have a lot of Rooms we can use it is an old monastery and And For instance, we have the main auditorium which is a Gothic church of the 15th century We can have their 60 He's sorry 60 hundred and fifty people with laptops and computers there. There's also an organ there and there'll be no need to There be no need to face it like some of you did with the one at the night venue Because it's still working We have another auditorium Malinche with 290 seats the Europa auditorium with 112 seats a room called Miguel Hernández with 55 seats the Garcia Matos room with 177 seats We also have four cloisters for the stands exhibitions from desks and Whatever we may need For VIP rooms for servers workshop booths or Whatever and there are also more than 20 or 30 other rooms For whatever we may need. So I think that it is a good place to a step down and of course You can see here the Smelly cheese of the French guys and wine also. So There is no food or alcohol limitations and it'll be open 24-7 the restaurant Will be a big tent inside the complex and Will offer an open buffet every day To address every kind of special needs some people have because of religious issues or Allergics or I am under a shoulder. Do you have kosher food? We can manage. Yeah And also the food will be offered by the government. So it will be free of charge for the deviant project Sorry. Oh Why not the main thing the network? We can hire unlimited number of 20 megabits per second DSL connections Sorry. Yeah, asymmetric and We hired even for the last free software conference Three special connections with a guaranteed upstream rate that that would be good for the video streaming We can also do so here. It is monastery but It is all wired. So it is very easy to be covered with wireless access points and We will have full access to the net administration the accommodation In catholic is quite Easy to manage because there is There are a lot of hostels hotels. We have two hall of residence for the students We can maybe use for that comes a first-class campsite 11 hostels more than 30 hotels and it will be Very cheap or free depending on the agreements we can sign with those hall of residences and of course We can also have fun and We can go to the swimming pool. There is a sport city 50 meters away from the venue You can or we can also Visit the old town of catheters, which is a world heritage center as I said before We can also travel to Merida in the day trip to visit the Archaeological ensemble of Merida, which is all which is it is also World Heritage Center and There are a lot of monuments museums palaces and stately homes that are very beautiful In the catheters province there are also Natural parks and you can enjoy With a nice rural tourists Thank you, and we have already contacted These sponsors that are interested in sponsoring the deaf conf in Extremadura So if you want to know anything more about RP you can visit the wiki page There is a lot of information there so I Invite you to visit it and send me some comments or suggestions Questions, so do you have any question? Please I have several questions You say in one of the starting slides you said that the sleeping quarters were closed How close? There is one 20 meters away from the venue For instance and The other one is less than 200 meters away and all the hostels and hotels I I Put on the slides are less than one kilometer away from the venue so And the clothes ones, which capacity where are you at? That's me. Oh, okay Watch which capacity did that these clothes venues have the clothes accommodations? it can be used for 200 people each And when we're during the day the year would be best for like climate-wise and For you I Don't I don't understand the question Do you think it would be nicest during the winter the summer spring or maybe spring or at the end of the summer the Monastery is quite fresh too and It also has a conditioning For the servers or for the people so that would be in like May or more April May September if you want to enjoy the Spanish hot so you can go to to Esther Madura in June or August too, but and Do you have any idea about? Costs per person per day cost per person per day well main costs the flights so Maybe in the wiki there is some information about that it did yes it Okay If we use the Hall of Residences It may be probably free of charge because the regional government can sign agreements with them And if we have if we use the hostels it will be between 15 and 30 euros Yes, and well the cheap a simple accommodation accommodation is usually good enough That would be free then or what I? don't really know it now, but Probably and what about food? Yes, the food will be sponsored by the regional government And then you had on the sponsors page some companies which don't have anything to do with Dabian Yes, why would they sponsor us because they have been very interested in Supporting free software projects, and they have also Sponsored before one or two of our meetings the free software world conference of but a whole the free software world Conference of Merida they were sponsors, and you would Explicitly mention Debian in this When you ask them. Yes. Okay, great. It's no problem Mentioning Debian or GNU Linux or free software, right? Thank you. You're welcome Here yeah about the Hall of Residence you mentioned can you explain a bit more of what it's like and What our chances of being there because you said it might be free yes The Hall of Residence is Used by students so we have to find a right slot of time to Be able to use these facilities because the rest of the year It is been used by students But is it like a hostel? What is it like? It is like Rooms you can use to live every day for students You have bathroom in every room you have two beds or one or three Okay, well the thing that most amazes me so far is that well I have insisted that people from Spain on on a getting they've come there for several years So it took too long for you to formally present a candidacy and Well Although from all the alternatives presented today It is the worst Well, I would still vote for it. No, but well on to To a different point I know that the commitment from the Extremadura government is long-standing and I don't think there will be any problems But we have to keep this in mind if I understand correctly next year. You will have a general elections, right? No No, okay This year you already elected and and the the government is still Yeah, the same party okay one so Just want to remind people please stand up when you get the mic and you are talking So the camera can see you. Thanks. I'm setting to honor and I have to say that I One of the deviant developers from Spain who doesn't like the idea to have defconn Spain I don't like it because I love to go to another countries by defcon But I have to say that after see all the several weeks for these past years. I think this is the best one I have seen until now so Thinking as the young developer, I think it's a good idea Yes, I completely agree and well it seems this year We will not have a competition which in the end may be good because it will save us from many problems we had But well, I am asking these questions specifically because I think it's a very important point that in the end was Was taking into account into deciding for the confate. I mean sometimes and Well, even the US and European country will surely understand this sometimes trusting the the governments of A Latin American and the Spain and they is not very easy. Yeah, I Mean that that brings several doubts to my mind, but Is there any other bit that want to present itself or do we currently have none here? Okay, so one thing to keep in mind is that this is not the decision for the next for the depth confine But only your presentation decision is sometimes after that conf And as we have no other one go on with questions Um, I wanted regarding the decision thing Mention that it is I think not very If we can be flexible about deciding later we perhaps should decide later because if we are not forced into Making a decision now why do it anyway? Yeah, I know and I know that this is not the decision point, but I'm like I Guess you guys are actually dedicated to this and you wouldn't have a problem really deciding only one year ahead I'm not sure. Yes. No problem. Yeah says Hello There is always one point that earlier later hits us during that comes I don't know if you already speak about that, but accessibility we have disabled persons. So for our venues our places our Routes everything you need to keep in mind that we have wheelchair people that will need to cross that areas So for everything that your program or schedule keep in mind that Yes, it's good to hear and have that documented on the wiki about yes. It is it Actually is documented on the wiki. I told that it is a public building so it is prepared with rams elevators and even with Barnards in braille for those blind people so We can even visit the old town of Gathres with disabled or handicapped people without any problem It is a quite modern city and prepared for all this stuff Okay, as a person who has been to the internalization Conference there the question is how will you handle the transfer from the airport to extra Madura, which Takes up to three hours. Yes If we want to use cheap airlines We have to land in Madrid Lisbon or Sevilla But if you want to to spend a little more money you can fly to Tala vera la real which is hundred kilometers away from Gathres and of course We have good connections with Lisbon Madrid and Sevilla by train We are also connected via highway with Madrid Lisbon and Also in 2009 with Sevilla so we can even hire Some buses like we did for you guys so I think it is not a big problem and What would who would the team consist of preparing this conference? Do you have already some people in mind? Yes, we We work for the regional government as a group. We are currently 20 People in the group. We have organized Huge conference like the one we did this year in Badajoz with more than 3000 Participants and There is a list of more than 50 Events or congresses we organized in the wiki you can maybe take a look at it This this is a video of the last organized meetings And we can also have the help from the Spanish developers to and From you of course okay Two two questions one of them is to you and one of them is to the people who have went to Extremadura for you a how hard is to I mean 91,000 people is not a big city. So well, you didn't say how far it is from Madrid and Something very important is to be able to get all kinds of esoteric hardware in time I mean not having to travel two hours to get a firewire cable, for example How how hard is to get strange hardware in in in that area and how far is it from Madrid? You can buy a firewire cable I just said as an example it is large computer stores. Yeah, okay 300 kilometers away from Madrid 300 kilometers away from Sevilla and 300 kilometers away from Lisbon and then There is no need to go to Madrid Lisbon or Sevilla to buy any kind of stuff you may need to Okay, and for For all attendees to Extremadura, how easy was it for you to move around that area without knowing Spanish? Well, I have to say one thing before people answers in the Sessions of Extremadura. We have been traveling around Extremadura and The only one we did in a big city was the QA one. So the other ones were Near the countryside in little villages. So maybe these people is not concerned about the The facilities we have in the big cities so Now you you can answer if you if you want maybe I guess Was in a little village or Ganev was in Badajoz. Well, there is a problem with that question because we never had to use the Spanish we just we were led around and Fed without the need of use of the local language or talking to the local people most of the time So there's no really answer to this Well, like I can say that cathedrals lives from University and for tourism. So most of the mid-age people is able to speak English and Also in the restaurants of the old town it is quite easy to be understood in English Hi, I know you said it was wired. I'm just curious what the facility is wired with I'm kind of worried about the repeat of a 10 megabit half duplex fiber or something like we had in Mexico Problems with the connections. No, no, what is the facility wired? You said the facility was already networked. Oh, yeah It's what's the backbone in the building like it is wired with 100 megabit per second Network, but we can change those switches to use One gigabyte switches if you want Christian first Yeah, that's more common than the question as a user of the extrema duality sessions Actually, we were in a small village. So I can't really comment about the environment But later we were all the user of the extrema duality sessions were invited invited in bad a horse in This big confront complex and we tried the network setting So if I can't just tell us as a basic user None not knowledgeable user of the network the network basically rocked in this building As a user with I think 3000 users and a lot of geeks hacking around in a big Complex it was nearly perfect from the user point of view. Thank you I just wondering on the issue of the dates you're talking about early spring or in the autumn And then you're saying it's university halls of residence other students there at those times of year Or as in would we have to be in the summer if we wanted to use the university halls? it would be better to to be there in September for example or Maybe on vacations, but there are free rooms too. So The university course in Spain starts in October So we can do the well They can do the death conning in September. We have problems Although it is worth considering. I know that Weather-wise Extremadura can be very hot, but it's worth considering Choosing the dates based on when the co-attendees can attend a before may or After July, it's a it's much harder not to It's much harder for many people to travel. So please consider that when when booking the place As it looks like we are running out of questions. Let's end the session and we can continue on mailing list if something Otherwise, thank you
