Dear Channel: Are we going to use this channel as our main communications channel during and after the conference? Or are there alternatives we want to use (last year we used twitter with the #C04V12NPC hashtag to get organised in the evenings/Saturday for instance)?

annapawlicka10:06:23

I find twitter easier on the go (Slack mobile app needs a bit more work..)

thomas10:06:13

how about using something like WhatApp? would that work?

thomas10:06:27

I use it with my family and groups work really well IMHO

slipset11:06:18

I'd prefer #euroclojure on twitter.

martinklepsch12:06:44

given that offline maps for Barcelona are not available from Google: Whats a good OpenStreetMap client that supports offline maps?

ordnungswidrig12:06:00

@martinklepsch: I use "osmand“ and have downloaded the just the osm regoin of barcelona

socksy12:06:41

@ordnungswidrig: I imagine @martinklepsch wants an iPhone app

ordnungswidrig12:06:58

he said google! simple_smile

martinklepsch12:06:11

oh, yeah. iOS. sorry 😄

ordnungswidrig12:06:12

then he must use the fine apple maps

martinklepsch12:06:21

forgot about those other things 😄

ordnungswidrig12:06:37

apple has it’s own maps, right? high quality and such

martinklepsch12:06:51

haha “high-quality” 😄

socksy12:06:03

http://maps.me looks pretty enough

ordnungswidrig12:06:13

and it’s so proud that when you spotlight for „Barcelona“ it doesn’t suggest Map.app to me simple_smile

ordnungswidrig12:06:38

One thing to be aware of is the castillian/catalan thing i.e. Avinguda vs. Avenida etc.

martinklepsch12:06:31

what does that mean? 😕

martinklepsch13:06:03

how did I not find that yet

ordnungswidrig13:06:04

oh, yes, http://maps.me is also a great option for android

thomas14:06:36

@ordnungswidrig: cool.. I'll check it out.

jonpither15:06:22

Anyone around for beers tomorrow?

jonpither15:06:52

a light beverage, obviously

pastafari15:06:28

jonpither: im interested! where are you staying?>

wagjo15:06:38

jonpither: I'll be around pl. catalunya tomorrow evening so I may join you if you'll be somewhere near

reborg15:06:05

+1 around as well

benedek15:06:02

most likely me too

jonpither15:06:18

Any ideas where to meet?

ordnungswidrig15:06:01

No local resident in this channel?

pastafari15:06:09

jonpither: there are a ton of cafes and bars! hard to choose simple_smile

jonpither15:06:25

@frankie: help us out here

frankiesardo15:06:12

Barcelona has many things to offer, what are we looking for?

ordnungswidrig15:06:33

manzanilla, albondigas, croquetas

ordnungswidrig15:06:44

if that’s a thing in barcelona

ordnungswidrig15:06:23

And there must be ham hanging from the ceiling, of course!

frankiesardo15:06:31

And there's plenty of restaurants around

frankiesardo15:06:54

@jonpither: Look for bars that have a foosball table!

ordnungswidrig15:06:41

frankie: why that?

ordnungswidrig15:06:31

that’s what I’m looking for simple_smile

jonpither15:06:21

what's the recommendation?

benedek15:06:22

:foosball: yes pls

jonpither16:06:49

Why don't we keep it simple, i.e. meet at cervezeria say 6.00, and people have in the meantime found a foosball place, then we drift over there

pastafari16:06:44

jonpither: +1, shall we meet at Fabrica Moritz at 6?

pastafari16:06:31

jonpither: now the harder question, how do we identify each other simple_smile

jonpither16:06:34

see you then/there

pastafari16:06:48

jonpither: my profile pic is how i currently look!

jonpither16:06:02

@pastafari: something tells me we'll be OK.

fuzzyalej16:06:05

if you are there at that time and you see someone looking strange, that’s from here

thomas19:06:33

@pastafari: we shall try and be at the Fabrica Moritz as well... maybe a bit later as we only land at 1610

pastafari19:06:52

@benedek: your profile pic looks like you?! 👀

benedek19:06:42

you will see 😜

ordnungswidrig20:06:52

No quite barcelona simple_smile
