that wasn't a lot of legroom even for me

We’ll see, I’m going to ask a specialist travel service.

(maybe they'll have something cheap for the first time ever)

ya'll know about that site, no?

I did not. Cheers.

Never heard of it

Not all of us fly ten times a month :)

They are paid for knowing everything about rebates, special offers etc. :)

How new is this?

reosarevok: been around for a bit

interesting. I could save a bit by bussing to montreal and flying from there, apparently.

reosarevok: this is my year of not flying much

So, just 8 times then

heh. :)

the other great trick to saving on plane tickets is by booking cheaper flights that only land at your target for layover and just hopping off

anyways, let officially close this meeting.

and inofficially carry on our travel chatter. :)

thanks everyone!

ruaok: what's the budget?

if you don't mind going to the US, one popular thing to do is drive from canada to nearest US airport, and fly from there :/

(apart from "as cheap as possible")

dunno. I kinda want to keep this summit more low-key.

I may not really go out of my way to ask for support.

I'll ask google because by default that means $1000.

but we have $2000 in mentor stipends (thanks alastairp !)

Well, I mean, unless I want to hitchhike my way I'll need some support

and we're not spending that much on lodging.

But not huge amounts

and this is different from normal, how, reosarevok ?

But ok, got it, look for reasonable bargains :)

I paid my trip last year! In full! :p

ok, fair nuff.

fine, *that* was different for normal, not this

But still :)

*from

I'll help as long as you sleep in at least one airport, how about that? :)

Do I have to sleep? Can't I just edit MB? :p

Well, there's nowhere you can't not get to using the Global Trebuchet®, designed by professional Engineers*!

*might not be real engineers ?

the acceleration might be a bit of trouble. :)

nah, you can use a parachute to slow it down :D

Heh, finnair just offered me a 27 h stopover

there is your qualifiying sleep over. :)

Hm. There's a €170 flight CPH←→BCN Friday-Tuesday.

1 hour in Amsterdam.

Schiphol's quite nice

Schiphol is fine for 1 hour.

(would help if they had actually given us the food we were supposed to get)

So, summit's going on then? :P

\o Sputzieputzie

reosarevok: also I agree that Chocolate under "Things that will be forgotten" is a bit strange :P

No, that's in a couple months, LordSputnik

I mean. Yes! IT's going on, did we forget to invite you?

reosarevok: noo it's a pun reo, I guess it's not bad enough for the likes of you to get it ;)

alastairp: still on the ground?

...

Ok, I guess I got it now

Mr. "we'll see how it, er, develops" :P

reosarevok: https://imgur.com/gallery/jlGIG

I did actually groan when I read that :P

:D :D :D :D

LordSputnik, can I have a BotBot ModBot ChatBot admin account?

LordSputnik: I'm never sure if ruaok keeps me around because someone needs to be that groanworthy, or despite of it :p

reosarevok: I think the logs would all be a bit less worth reading if it weren't for you

Awwwwwww

That's the least bad thing someone's said about my jokes in... ever, probably :p

Leo_Verto: Sure, but only if you erase that name for me you've learnt from Freso from your mind forever :P

Sure, but that won't prevent you from waking up at ruaok's with it written on your forehead using permanent marker :D

(as much as I'd like to see that, there's unfortunately no way I can attend the summit D:)

Leo_Verto: was about to ask, that's a shame :(

Leo_Verto: You shouldn't really give me ideas!

Uh oh

Freso: why did you do this to me

LordSputnik: because being locked in it until you accept to get that written on you would make things much better :p

\o/

Leo_Verto: you have an account, Username: Leo_Verto. The password is the most obvious and stupidly simple password imaginable

ruaok: So, can I crash until Mon. or Tues.?

reosarevok: that... I didn't consider that :P

Y'know, to give me a couple of days to look for apartments. :p

Freso: yeah, probably.

can you note on the wiki page what disired dates you have?

we'll sort it.

The summit proper will be Sat+Sun? Or Fr+Sat?

I should know my dates on October 1st. Currently the timetable is visible online, but not official (I only have 3 hours of lectures a week, apparently). But right now, I have nothing on Mondays or Fridays, which is promising...

It's usually Sat+Sun, no?

proper sat and sun.

social hour/day friday. or so.

but if people show up on thursday and hang out through monday, that is ok too.

we'll keep ourselves entertained.

I'm really hoping I can things sorted so I can be there on Fri.

bitmap: when you have time, could you get me the plaintext chatlogs for 2015-08-28 and 2015-08-29?

ruaok: how does 272€ sound?

(can't really find anything under that that isn't ridiculously convoluted)

reosarevok: does it involve the required sleep over? :P

gah, because the imported chartlogs have no value for milliseconds, there are duplicate messages for 28th :(

well I can nap, he didn't say sleep for *how long* :p

Oh, actually yes, it seems it kinda would since there's nothing that gets me to Tallinn before 5:30 AM. Le sigh

reosarevok: still expensive. :(

reosarevok: how about a train?

That's probably half of Europe to cross, but might be quicker/cheaper than overnight flight

LordSputnik: we have to change trains to even get into Latvia :p

I don't think it's going to work out with a train

Wow, I completely misplaced Estonia in Europe

Yeah, it's quite a bit more than half of Europe :)

Unless you count from the Urals. Then it's kinda half

Estonia is almost the furthest you can get from Spain within the EU.

I assumed it was in the South East for some reason

haha, could crowdfund reo's plane ticket :D

Oh, huh

Ryanair *does* fly to Girona in the winter now

ruaok: 153€ sound better? Does involve arriving Thu though, so putting up with me for another day :p

(guess I can always visit a friend)

gaaaaaaah!

(sure)

How much was the Girona train nowadays, you remember? 10€ or so?

15€ last time.

and we got punted to the high speed rail at that.

Oh, "A single ticket costs 12 Euros, and a return is 21 Euros" for the airport-to-BCN bus too

Sounds pretty decent

Ok, guess we have a plan

So Thu afternoon through Mon morning

Last chance to shout "oh god no way too much reosarevok" before I buy :p

oh god no oh god no oh god no oh god no oh god no oh god no oh god no oh god no oh god no oh god no oh god no oh god no

Forgot the other part

lol. <3

is that "oh god no, way too much reosarevok" or " oh god no way too much, reosarevok" :P

The former

Wow, it even has reasonable times. What's happened to ryanair

153€ for ryanair?

da fuq??

They only have two flights per week in the winter

So I guess they do get full

At least they're straight Girona-Tallinn and not some weird six hour wait in Milan

ruaok: http://ismir2015.uma.es/program_and_papers_ismi... :)

Gentlecat: is it right that none of the papers are downloadable?

not yet I guess

:)
