How can we help?
Hi guys,
We are a company located in Mannheim and Lucene/Solr is core to our business.
Since Mannheim is not very far from Sinsheim, we would like to help.
What's the best way we can do that, where do you need most support?
Looking forward to hear from you.

Hi Steve,
Have you seen the wiki page yet? http://wiki.apache.org/apachecon/WhereToGoInSinsheim. You might be able to grab some information from here to post while we await further information from the locals?
Thanks,
~M

Note that the accommodation page has been up for about twelve hours:
http://apachecon.eu/accommodaation/
We need to get more information on there about other opportunities for accommodation, dining and so on - whether as links or literally right there on the page.
All additional information gratefully received.

http://wiki.apache.org/apachecon/AtlantaTips is a good example of
that, if locals can help create such a page for Sinsheim (and maybe
Heidelberg?) that would be cool.

Information about good places to eat/drink etc. that are near the
venue and/org hotels. It would be great if we could provide some hints
and tips for attendees on where to go for a variety of after hours
activities (large group food, small group food, high class food, drink
and chat, party drinking etc. etc.) Also of use would be details about
public transport, airport transfers etc.
Help reaching out to the Universities would be good.

Some people to help lead after hours events would be good.

I'm sure Christian will find his way to the sponsors page if he wants
a formal relationship.

Not sure - maybe within the requests above.

Hi Christian,
Thanks for getting in touch!
@Planners,
Do we need help from locals just now e.g. preparation?
Do we need help from locals when the event is on?
Are there possible routes for local businesses to promote themselves
when ACEU is on? If so Christian is this something which you would be
interested in?
Do we need more information on Mannheim which we could get from Christian?
Thanks
Lewis

Re: Update on local info??...Re: AW: How can we help?
Posted by Melissa Warnkin <mi...@yahoo.com>.
Thanks, Steve and Christian! It's coming along quite nicely; however, there are still some gaps that need filling on the "where to go in Sinsheim" page: http://wiki.apache.org/apachecon/WhereToGoInSinsheim. Please refer to the page for the areas that are missing.
Can we have anyone else volunteer to help with the local information, please??!!
Thank you so much!!

Christian:
I am currently combing the Wiki page for stuff to adapt until you flesh your notes out. It's certainly worth putting the hotel details you have gathered up straight away, so I am doing at least that. The accommodation stuff can just follow the hotel information.
Perhaps we should think about adding a further link to the navigation bar for the social side - we can hang menus off the navbar fairly easily, so we just need to invent a suitable name and menu. For example:
In The Area
-- Restaurants, Cafés, Bars
-- Transport
-- Nightlife
and so on.
[Update]
OK, I just finished updating both the home page (I was tasked with adding important dates, please check I got the right versions) and the accommodation page.
Please give them the once-over and tell me of any needed corrections.
And keep up the good work! I am sure we can happily sponsor a weekend trip to Sinsheim for a few locals if they can do research for content that will help delegates.

Thanks to all of you for your ideas!
I'll just answer to this last message.
I think we can start with providing more local information like good places to eat, drink, chat, party, etc. for Sinsheim, Heidelberg, Mannheim.
There is already some stuff on http://wiki.apache.org/apachecon/WhereToGoInSinsheim, we can further extend this.
We will try to get in touch with organizers of some other local events and guys from university to get some further feedback.
For Mannheim this will be no problem, we will also try to find someone for Sinsheim.
Also two of my colleagues are from Heidelberg.
On Monday we'll all sit together about what we can do.
How quickly should information be on the wiki?
