Not that it matters where, but where?
-
All meals will be in the conference area. Trying to keep as much as possible right in one place.

Except for the lunch on saturday, I assume?

Yes the LEtchworth Park tour is well at Letchworth Park.
We actually have to be out of the conference space by 12pm on Friday night. So we will have to fully pack up etc.

I think @Minion-Queen means midnight, not noon @Dashrender. So probably Fri. 8a-10p.

Yes that is what I mean
I am not awake yet at all.... Having company does that to a person. -

Oh.. good! I was thinking this was going to be a super short short event.
That whole does 12:00:00 belong to the time before or the time coming up...

I've been assuming it will be just like SpiceWorld, i.e. no dress code. Hell if you're Darren you make up some fancy costume to wear each year
We need SOMEONE is a furry suit.

No dress code at all. Dress for warmish days (between 75-85) and cooler nights (40-60)
Gotta remember to pack my kilt, even if it's just for Saturday
hmm... is grey going?
He can't make it this year. Work stuff.

This is the best. It's nice to take walks and see stuff, but it all takes away from the time to see people, makes you get separated from people you might otherwise get time to talk to, creates cliques, etc. Having everything in one place is so much better when possible.

That's officially post conference, we don't have the facility still at that point.

That would be noon in the US. More like 12:00 am on Friday night. Or properly, midnight. There is not AM/PM actually on noon and midnight, but in the US Printing Office they designate how Americans officially write it for places where it is required and AM is midnight, PM is noon.

UTC doesn't help there, but 24 hour clocks do. I do all three...
- UTC to fix time zones and remove daylight savings time / summer time
- 24 hour clock to remove the AM/PM/Noon/Midnight problems
- Use noon/midnight instead of 12am/pm because there isn't actually a clear standard

@scottalanmiller said in Conference Preparations:

I didn't realize there wasn't a standard.
I've heard people say that noon is technically the AM one because it belongs to the morning, and that 12:00:01 is when PM starts for the afternoon.
But I'm with Scott, it's a complete cluster of a setup, there doesn't seem to be a recognized standard use.

@scottalanmiller said in Conference Preparations:

So many clients hate me for 24 hour time.
I always set it up on the phones and such when i deploy.
I almost always get told to change it back to 12 hour time though.
