@juhoteperi How far is the venue from the airport? I land (supposedly) at 15:05, and I’d really like to see this: > 16:25-16:50 KernelF: a functional core for domain-specific languages in JetBrains MPS (Mikhail Barash)

It's afternoon rush hour time but thankfully the traffic isn't that bad at this time of year; It might be a bit tight, but you should be able to take a taxi (or train!) and be there on time.

cfleming10:07:14

Awesome, thanks - fingers crossed my flight isn’t delayed.

juhoteperi10:07:21

25 min by taxi

And I can also switch the talk with e.g. devops talk

I’m glad to see I’ll hopefully be able to see most of SmallFP!

cfleming10:07:53

@juhoteperi Only if that’s not a pain for anyone, sounds like I’ll be able to make it either way.

For what it's worth, Google Maps works wonders for public transportation information and there's http://reittiopas.fi as well 🙂 Also Uber just yesterday re-entered Helsinki so even that may work now, although at this point they have maybe like three cars... 🙂

cfleming10:07:26

Hehe, nah, a standard taxi is fine by me

cfleming10:07:37

Or a train - I’ll check the info

cfleming10:07:59

I’m looking forward to making it to ClojuTRE at last!

eskos10:07:58

There's also a dedicated bus route from the airport to central Helsinki as well; I suppose it's a balance between cost and comfort 🙂

cfleming10:07:52

Mostly for me it’s how long it will take me to get there. Given the cost of flying to Helsinki, I don’t mind spending a bit on a taxi to make better use of my time there 🙂

juhoteperi10:07:51

I think train is 30min to Helsinki Central Station and they go maybe every 30 min. Venue is 2km from both Pasila and Central station so a bit long to walk but I think there is tram line from central station.

Our taxi system just got entirely renewed so there might be a slight hassle involved; from the beginning of this month the regulation was dropped nearly entirely. Most taxi companies now have a set price from airport to central Helsinki; there's tons of signs outside the airport about the prices.
