The second Tahoe-LAFS Summit

This is a loosely organized gathering of Tahoe-LAFS developers, enthusiasts, and perhaps some hecklers.

Attending or, at least, interested in attending:

  • David-Sarah, Kevan(?), Brian, Zancas, Peter(?), Zooko, Frederik(?), Gred(?), Zack Weinberg

Dates / Location

2011-11-08 through 2011-11-11 (tuesday-friday) in San Francisco

Brian is hosting the summit at Mozilla's new San Francisco office (2 Harrison St.). We have conference room space for 6-8 people from tuesday through friday (bouncing around a bit because of pre-existing meetings) and snacks/drinks/wireless.

  • Address: 2 Harrison St, San Francisco, CA, 94105 (in a box delimited by Harrison, Spear, Folsom, and Embarcadero, closest to the Harrison side)
  • Where: SOMA, at the waterfront (Embarcadero)
  • When: I'll be there by 9am on tuesday.
  • Map: map
  • Parking: expensive. public transit is recommended. Use Embarcadero BART and walk south on Spear st.
  • Landmark: in the Hills Bros Coffee Company building (big lighted sign on the roof)
  • Beer: we are straight up from the Gordon Biersch Brewery, on the top floor.
  • Confusion: there are multiple parts to this building, with disjoint floors. We're in the part with Gensler, not the part with Google or the gym.
  • Entry:
    • walk under the tower in the courtyard between the fountain and the fenced-in playground
    • enter the lobby doors behind the statue
    • take the elevators to the 7th floor. If the desk guard wants you to, sign in as a guest (Mozilla, to see Brian Warner). Hopefully you can just come straight up.
    • tell Cristina at the front desk that you're here for the Tahoe Summit and she'll either call me or direct you to the right room
  • Rooms: we have to move around a bit. Think of it as a scenic tour of the office.
    • Tuesday: 9-10 7B, 10-12 7Q, 12-5 7B
    • Wednesday: 9-12 7P, 12-5 7N
    • Thursday and Friday: 7N
  • Food: there are lots of snacks and drinks, and restaurants nearby
  • Remoties: contact us on IRC (#tahoe-lafs on freenode) and we'll make something work
