Conference Web Portal

I've setup a simple web portal using Netvibes just for updates on the conference. This includes updates from the conference blog, conference bloggers, as well as a Conference Schedule using a widget from Google Calendar. Hope you find it useful!

Note: The Flickr widget is only set to tagged photos with "SUNYLA" at the moment. Official conference tag is still "SUNYLA08", but there are not enough photos yet to be picked up by the widget.

Stone Valley Hike

Want to check out Stone Valley? Did you sign up? Did you forget to sign up? Doesn't matter to me!

Meet me at 1:00 in the lobby of Draime Hall, by the Knitting Lounge, and I'll take you there. 3 people in my car, as many as wish it in someone else's. (So find a driver...) We'll be back by 3:30 at the latest, and it's going to be a gorgeous day!

Arriving on Campus - Redux

When you arrive on campus, the first thing you should do is REGISTER!

Register FIRST, even if you are late for the pre-conference, BBQ or other event.

Your registration packet will have your PARKING PERMIT. If you don't get your parking permit prominently displayed in your window, you WILL likely be issued a parking ticket, and we WON'T be able to fix it! Overnight parking is allowed in LOTs 25 and 25A.

Sorry!

What to Wear in Potsdam

The weather in Potsdam is unpredictable...just like everywhere else in NY. As of today, Monday, we are expecting it to be mostly in the mid-70's, mostly sunny, 20% chance of rain. That of course can change at any moment!

The dorm rooms (Draime) are not air conditioned (bring a fan?), and the air conditioning in Kellas Hall is unpredictable. We suggest you dress for warm weather and bring a sweater or jacket in case the air conditioning in Kellas decides to be robust.

Don't forget:
The registration bags are lime green, so make sure your ensemble doesn't clash!
The BBQ is in the park by the river, and black flies and other un-invited guests may show up!
