What to do in Sinsheim
Hello guys;
Don't know where to post this but the Sinsheim Museum
has some discounts for groups:
http://sinsheim.technik-museum.de/en/en/offers-groups
I have never been in Sinsheim but I am pretty sure there would be
enough people to consider a visit, unless there is something more
interesting to do between conferences (not unlikely at all).
Pedro.

Hi guys,
Thank you so much for the information. Can anyone else step up to the plate here and provide anymore information on what to do in Sinsheim?!?! Local bars, local eateries, tourist traps, etc.?!
Your help will be greatly appreciated!!!

The Where To Go page does have a link to the meetup page with the full
list. Maybe we could just add a notes section to the meeting list table,
and capture the general info eg the Keltic Tavern live band date?

With help from Christian Ohr, we now have a page listing the names,
addresses, contact details and rough styles of basically everywhere you
could want to go of an evening in Sinsheim, and a few nearby places too:
http://wiki.apache.org/apachecon/ApacheMeetupsEU12
A few of them we don't have full details for, eg size. If one or two of
our German speaking volunteers have some time, it'd be great if people
could phone up the ones with ???? in key areas and add the missing info
into the website!
Also, if anyone has been to any of the ones listed, and can comment on
what they're actually like, that'd be really handy too
Otherwise, please work with your projects to sort out what you want to do
in the evenings, now you know where you can go :)

Steve,
While I totally appreciate your enthusiasm in doing this, I don't think it's a good idea since the wiki is not complete....see below
For the Website
This section will want to be transfered to the website once completed
Accomodation within walking distance
* Needs a warning that it's expected to all sell out before the event!
* All 3 main hotels in the town, link to websites
* Link to guest house finder
Accomodation within a 20 minute drive
Accomodation in Heidelberg
* Won't list individual hotels
* Will give an idea of the price range and options
* Rough journey time by train, and service interval
* Suggest trains to aim for, for morning and evening (inc last train)
* Why Heidelberg is a great place ot stay!
Getting to the venue
* Details on the train from both airports, including typical journey time, costs, links to planner etc
* How to walk from the two stations to the venue, how long etc
* Info on trains through Sinsheim, rough travel times and intervals, last trains, link to planner etc
* Info on driving
* Reassure on parking
Sinsheim
* Brief info on restaurants, bars, cafes etc
* Reassure people that there really is things to do there!

Hello Christian;
Well, the innovative part was "group discount" for those of us trying to
balance between spending the absolute minimum but not really having
the chance of spending time on Sinsheim ever again ;).
Pedro.
ps. On the extremely cheap side of things there is a youtube video ;).
