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)?
I find twitter easier on the go (Slack mobile app needs a bit more work..)
how about using something like WhatApp? would that work?
I use it with my family and groups work really well IMHO
I'd prefer #euroclojure on twitter.
given that offline maps for Barcelona are not available from Google: Whats a good OpenStreetMap client that supports offline maps?
@martinklepsch: I use "osmand“ and have downloaded the just the osm regoin of barcelona
@ordnungswidrig: I imagine @martinklepsch wants an iPhone app
he said google! :simple_smile:
oh, yeah. iOS. sorry 😄
then he must use the fine apple maps
forgot about those other things 😄
apple has it’s own maps, right? high quality and such
haha “high-quality” 😄
http://maps.me looks pretty enough
and it’s so proud that when you spotlight for „Barcelona“ it doesn’t suggest Map.app to me :simple_smile:
One thing to be aware of is the castillian/catalan thing i.e. Avinguda vs. Avenida etc.
what does that mean? 😕
@socksy: http://maps.me looks good! thanks
how did I not find that yet
oh, yes, http://maps.me is also a great option for android
@ordnungswidrig: cool.. I'll check it out.
Anyone around for beers tomorrow?
a light beverage, obviously
+1 for http://maps.me
jonpither: im interested! where are you staying?>
jonpither: I'll be around pl. catalunya tomorrow evening so I may join you if you'll be somewhere near
+1 around as well
most likely me too
Any ideas where to meet?
No local resident in this channel?
jonpither: there are a ton of cafes and bars! hard to choose :simple_smile:
@frankie: help us out here
Barcelona has many things to offer, what are we looking for?
manzanilla, albondigas, croquetas
if that’s a thing in barcelona
This cervezeria is pretty good https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/F%C3%A0brica+Moritz+Barcelona/@41.3830382,2.1628763,16z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0000000000000000:0x200341909d1e7213
And there must be ham hanging from the ceiling, of course!
And there's plenty of restaurants around
@jonpither: Look for bars that have a foosball table!
frankie: why that?
that’s what I’m looking for :simple_smile:
To see a lot of that you should go to Mercado de la boqueria https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Mercado+de+La+Boqueria/@41.38201,2.172311,16z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0000000000000000:0x860ac654dc73add5
what's the recommendation?
:foosball: yes pls
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
jonpither: +1, shall we meet at Fabrica Moritz at 6?
Yep :simple_smile:
jonpither: now the harder question, how do we identify each other :simple_smile:
see you then/there
jonpither: my profile pic is how i currently look!
@pastafari: something tells me we'll be OK.
@jonpither: :thumbsup:
if you are there at that time and you see someone looking strange, that’s from here
@pastafari: same here
@pastafari: we shall try and be at the Fabrica Moritz as well... maybe a bit later as we only land at 1610
@thomas great!
@benedek: your profile pic looks like you?! 👀
you will see 😜
Will @fogus come?
ordnungswidrig: I doubt https://twitter.com/fogus/status/613219395842617344
No quite barcelona :simple_smile:
