I think the culprit is that it's a set of nested tables, and each table is 
hardcoded to 590x wide in the CSS, so you nest two and you get a very wide 
layout.

I suspect the quick fix is to also use max-width or something. The real 
fix is to update the ACT templates to use a grid system like bootstrap or 
something, but that requires more tuits that anyone may have available.

Can someone look at the CSS?  It looks like the user profile section is a
bit off.

Changing the width of the table at the following xpath location from
590px to 100% fixed the problem for me in Chrome's web inspector. 
Screenshot attached.

I don't know the official story, but google found me these data that paint
a consistent picture of $70/night for single occupancy and $35/night for
double occupancy, from 2005 through 2013:

the first link is for this summer:

$35/night is also what they charge students who move into their dorm room
before the official move-in date, so I'd say it's a pretty safe bet it'll
be $70/night-room, if there are rooms left to reserve.

Hi folks,

We did this for YAPC::Brasil 2012, and I don't mean a bootstrapish skin
for our conference only, but really a full rewrite of Act's own
templates. See
https://github.com/Brasil-Perl-Mongers/Act/commit/374788ea24a61317d90cda604b4edf442a77a0c7
and
https://github.com/Brasil-Perl-Mongers/Act/commit/5000930fedd876eb58fa1c388a5622cd35d7bba0

With the way template overriding works in Act, it's just a matter of
placing the new ones in your instance's templates/ folder

Regards,

Nuba

Yes that's a "feature" of the default ACT template. Fixed.

Whose is 20 minutes?  Both are 45 minutes according to the schedule.

Also, Chris, the schedule now says mine is at 10:35 (original email said 14:30), so perhaps my offer no longer matters.

Oh. yes. a few talks were moved around since originally placed.  Seems we
neglected to uncheck the "confirmed" box when we did that, or you didn't
notice the different time when you confirmed... :/

No problem.  I like mornings.  That takes my offer to Chris off the table since it's the opposite of what he wants.  :-)

Chris,

I am at 1:30pm same tuesday same length, and I'm ready swap with you
if 1:30 is enough for you.
Otherwise I would miss JD's security talk which is parallel to mine.

I'd also be willing to swap my 9:35 slot to any afternoon speaker who would
prefer that slot to their own. I can do mornings, but would prefer an
afternoon time slot.
Cheers,
Deb

Following the link on

     http://www.yapcna.org/yn2013/lodging.html

to the Doubletree hotel shows that the advertised $139/night conference rate
only applies if you

a) book 5 nights and
b) pay in advance at the time of booking (!)

Otherwise, the rooms are $199.

Can someone check if this is indeed the negotiated deal?

Nope.   According to the contract, that rate should be valid for any number of nights between 5/31/13 and 6/8/13.   If you are booking on a date outside of that range, they may charge you standard rack rate.

I was able to book my room without paying for it, however I did have to give them a credit card number to book with.

This past weekend I did see the $119 rate available, but it was through
the standard "best available / advance purchase" rate and not through 
the group code.  "Best available rate" was $139, advance purchase was $119.

It appears to me that Doubletree has now sold out of their $119-level
advance purchase rooms; when I looked for a reservation just now I see 
that their best available (cancellable) rate is $159, advance purchase 
(no cancellation) is $139, and the conference rate (cancellable) is $139.

HTH,

I'm in the same boat (in fact Deb and I have the exact same slot).
Obviously Deb gets first crack at anyone ready to swap, but come on: I know
there's got to be at least two of you morning people out there! :-)

Hi Patrick & Uri,

Through some experimentation just now, I discovered that a minimum of 7
night stay is required [at this time, anyway] for the $119-prepay rate to
be displayed.  Since the room that I booked was for 7 nights, the rate
showed up for me, and that's what I'd been searching afterward too. Here's
what appeared not 5 minutes ago (see image attachment):

I'm not sure if I make a mistake or not, but I booked a room for less
then 60USD right now...

Here: http://www.qualityinn.com/ires/en-US/html/RoomAvailability?hotel=TX787
Found it via: http://www.choicehotels.com/

Cheers, Tobias

PS: and please tell me if I should cancel it because it is a fake and
one has to sleep under a tunnel or so...

It's not a fake, but it's gotten some mixed reviews [1] (thus the $60/night)
and it's 3.1mi away from the conference venue so you might need to take 
a bus or something.  The hotel is on the opposite side of IH-35 and US-290, 
so I don't know how feasible walking will be.  Google says it's
over an hour walk (which might not be desirable in June in Texas).

[1] http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g30196-d220106-Reviews-Quality_Inn_North_Austin-Austin_Texas.html

Perhaps some Austin-folks can comment on the bus system there;
I've not ever had an occasion to use it.

Tobias,
$60 is a typical price at any of the motels along I35.
I call them the "Indians".

You can also check booking.com and best do it from a linux browser, not
mac, as the rates may change.

I stayed in similar hotels up there for SXSW, because at that time
Austin is out of hotel rooms at all.

It's cheap, everyone uses it, you can take a bike with you.
But it could be half an hour to the university from Tobias' hotel.

All -

Hopefully this is an appropriate comment since most of you trying to get reasonable pricing on housing.

I don't have any specific recommendations on hotels, etc. I will say that many people visiting for SXSW and other large venues make use of Austin's (fairly) new light rail system and stay further out from downtown. There is a stop (MLK Jr.) that is fairly close to the U.T. campus, along with a feeder bus route that stops very close (within a block) to the venue (Thompson Conference Center). If you buy a rail ticket or pass, you get the feeder bus pass along with it.

Yes, it does take time to transit, depending on how far away you travel, but it could be the best bet for some of you. I live in Cedar Park (NW Austin area) and worked downtown for 6 years total. I took the bus system for the first job, and used the train whenever I could for the second gig. The train is pretty pleasant and has WiFi (many of the busses do as well).

Anyway - here's a few links:

*         MetroRail stop info for MLK Jr.: http://www.capmetro.org/metrorail.aspx?id=312

*         CapMetro info for the 465 feeder bus: http://www.capmetro.org/schedulemap.aspx?f1=465

*         As an example, La Quinta in Cedar Park<http://www.lq.com/lq/respath/checkAvailability.do?propId=6338&searchCity=Austin&searchState=TX&searchRadius=30&palsra_IND_M=06&palsra_IND_D=03&palsra_IND_Y=2013&palsra_OTD_M=06&palsra_OTD_Y=2013&palsra_OTD_D=05&palsra_NRM=1&palsra_ROC=1&palsra_AMC2=&palsra> (it's a 3-minute drive to the Lakeline Station for MetroRail/CapMetro) shows rates at about $95 right now.

Anyway - I hope everyone enjoys their stay in Austin. I'm a transplanted Californian and I have loved living here for the past 15 years.

Tobias,
$60 is a typical price at any of the motels along I35.
I call them the "Indians".

You can also check booking.com<http://booking.com> and best do it from a linux browser, not mac, as the rates may change.

Through some experimentation just now, I discovered that a minimum of 7 night stay is required [at this time, anyway] for the $119-prepay rate to be displayed.  Since the room that I booked was for 7 nights, the rate showed up for me, and that's what I'd been searching afterward too. Here's what appeared not 5 minutes ago (see image attachment):

This past weekend I did see the $119 rate available, but it was through
the standard "best available / advance purchase" rate and not through
the group code.  "Best available rate" was $139, advance purchase was $119.

It appears to me that Doubletree has now sold out of their $119-level
advance purchase rooms; when I looked for a reservation just now I see
that their best available (cancellable) rate is $159, advance purchase
(no cancellation) is $139, and the conference rate (cancellable) is $139.

HTH,

Pm

This is essentially the same picture I formed after researching it, so I
bought 7-day capmetro bus passes for those of staying in the Doubletree -
so we can get to the Guadalupe St eateries for lunch and back with less
walking and less time on the campus shuttle routes, as well as the offsite
events like Arrival Dinner and Game Night.  $9/week; otherwise the bus
rides around campus are $1/ride from what I can tell.  My assessment was
that we didn't need the rail service, but clearly folks who are staying
father away would benefit from that.

Hi,

I know this is a long shot, but it worked last year :)

After finishing the training classes on Friday, 7 June 2013,
at 5pm, I need to travel from Austin to The Woodlands, TX.

I found the Megabus http://us.megabus.com/ that would leave
at 5:45 and take me quite close, but I wonder if there is someone
by car who is heading in the same direction and whom I could join?

regards
    Gabor

Austin is also a very bike-able city. I bike nearly everywhere. Not a 
lot of hills (at least compared to places like San Francisco), Google 
knows where all the bike lanes are, and traffic that mostly knows to 
watch for bikes (though we still have a lot more bicycle fatalities and 
injuries than I'd like, I at least don't feel hunted, like I do in many 
cities).

Mass transit here isn't awful, but it's not great, either. But, a 
bus/train pass is definitely an affordable option, and will get you 
there. The buses and trains do run on time, anyway. And, the buses are 
all bike friendly.

Gabor,
Brett Estrade asked at cPanel if someone is driving back late.
We'll find someone for you.

Most of us from cPanel will drive back on Thursday.
Todd Rinaldo is my best guess because he is on the orga team
which has to stay longer, and he lives in the Woodlands.

Subject: The Dorms
Message-ID: <CALC=KUKhbAVy2hGVdPKoFK8hT7peuWn4ugUT-C4Jgf0NYXVjEg@mail.gmail.com>

http://blog.yapcna.org/post/48097285256/the-dorms

We?ve had a lot of requests for information on the dorms. I apologize
we haven?t provided more. My first dorm experience was in Chicago
2008. The rooms were miserable. Someone broke the water chillers
and/or turned them off. Because it was summer in Chicago, nobody had a
priority to fix the problem. The rooms were miserable and the group
showers were less than great.

But it was a great time and I remember it fondly. The dorms had this
big open area where all the dorm halls joined and everyone hung out. I
remember Adam Kennedy arguing with Schwern for ?new_ok?. Thus the
change log entry: ?Adam Kennedy bribed me to add new_ok().  The price
was one DEFCON license key.? We hung out on really uncomfortable
chairs, watched bad movies, hacked, and played Zombie Flux with 15
people at one time.

We do understand that the dorms are not just a ?Cheap option for
YAPC?. We?ve tried very hard this year to do what we could, but one
bad break after the other has reset the process on us. Here?s what it
looks like now:

Somehow in spite of weekly inquiries, we?ve now been told that our
submissions were not received and we need to start the 2 week process
over to get the approval. This means we won?t hear anything until the
end of the month or 1 month out from the conference. There is still a
chance they?ll say NO. This makes it a little risky for us to
recommend you wait for the Dorms.

If the dorms are allocated, they will be in the San Jacinto Residence
Hall. There will be no more than 50 rooms made available at ~$70 for 2
twins.

People have different housing needs when they come to YAPC. Some need
to have the cheapest housing possible. Some frequent travelers prefer
the hotel chain they usually use. Others just want to be in the hotel
where everyone else plans to be. We?re very hesitant to recommend
anything we?ve not checked out. At the moment, YAPC has reserved a
block of 50 rooms at the Double Tree, which is very near the
conference. This might be a good choice for that group of folks. If we
fill this up soon, there?s a chance, we might be able to book more
rooms.

You can also review and update Who is Staying Where on the wiki. This
should help you find where people are going to be. We?ll provide an
update on the dorms by next Wednesday one way or the other so everyone
knows where things stand.

I wonder if any of the speakers have a recent book. Austin has a great
independent book store (Book People) that does signing events. (Some
recent authors include: Dave Barry, Cory Doctorow, & Sonia Sotomayor.)
It might be good for the author, and also a way to promote the
conference. (I am adding Book People to the things to do section for
those who might be interested in just purchasing something. The Whole
Foods nearby is fun also - they have an ice skating rink on the roof,
although I think it is only open in the winter.)

chromatic's Modern Perl and Ovid's Beginning Perl are the two I'm tending
to recommend to people atm.

Not sure if the authors are coming though, you'd probably want to poke ACT
to find out.

Ovid has two talks scheduled, so he should be there.  I don't know about
chromatic.

Subject: Thursday Git Class not listed on payment page
Message-ID: <CAN483vcuLbK=rMM3m2hQ9PpJ2AYVPcRdXvmDhyzYr+18MMJt0w@mail.gmail.com>

The Git class that is on the schedule for Sunday and Thursday (see
http://www.yapcna.org/yn2013/myschedule?day=2013-06-06 ) is only listed on
the payment page for Sunday.

Is that because the Thursday class is already full?

Or is it just not set up as a separate product for purchase or something?

Thanks,

mike

Mike,

I turned the class registration off Friday due to lack of demand. Almost everyone had signed up for the Sunday class at that point. It is, however turned back on so feel free to sign up.

Todd

Whole Foods only does the ice skating rink around the winter holidays. Book People is a great bookstore, but the last time I visited they had greatly reduced their technical section. That is very disappointing, but also understandable. 

Disclosure: I worked for Whole Foods Market corporate for 5 years. The first 2+ years, we shared the same building as Book People and "we" had ownership of the room they use for book signing (my office was mere feet away from this conference room). When BP needed the room, Whole Foods would close off their doors and BP would open theirs. I had to clear out of my office one day when guys with earpieces shooed us out of there - Hilary Clinton was doing a book signing.

P.S. the Whole Foods gig was where I really used Perl for the first time. I kinda fell in love. It's still my go-to scripting language and will almost never do a shell script if I can use Perl instead.

I wonder if any of the speakers have a recent book. Austin has a great independent book store (Book People) that does signing events. (Some recent authors include: Dave Barry, Cory Doctorow, & Sonia Sotomayor.) It might be good for the author, and also a way to promote the conference. (I am adding Book People to the things to do section for those who might be interested in just purchasing something. The Whole Foods nearby is fun also - they have an ice skating rink on the roof, although I think it is only open in the winter.)

Hah.  That is rather neat.  Maybe I should try harder to make it to YAPC this year.  Or at least visit Austin some time.

There's also has one of those 40mph kart tracks (
http://www.k1speed.com/austin-location.html) in North Austin. iFly is right
next to Main Event (http://www.mainevent.com/locations/austin) - bowling,
laser tag, rock climbing. A number of options downtown for renting paddle
boats, stand-up paddle boards, and canoes for those who want to check out
the "lake" downtown.
