Re: [Air-L] Food in Copenhagen
I'd just like to add that Christiania, the free state, inside copenhagen, and not far from ITU is a wonderful experience in community living. Along with that taking a day to visit Louisiana, the modern art museum 45 minutes away from copenhagen, on top of the øresund channel can hardly be a disappointment. And more contemporary^2: U-Turn: the quadriennal for contemporary art is in town right now... cheers, rut On Wed, Oct 8, 2008 at 3:26 PM, Nancy Baym <nbaym@ku.edu> wrote:
Ok, if we're getting all Copenhagen touristy, I will put in a plug for Rosenborg Slot, the utterly charming castle right downtown with a splendid park. For people who come from countries that don't have castles, this is a great way to spend a few hours. Maybe it was my visits there in childhood, but Rosenborg has a huge place in my heart.
Catching the "water taxi" from Nyhavn is also a great cheap way to get out on the water, get a great view of the new opera house, and generally enjoy the views.
And I second Charlie's recommendation of shawarma. Finding a diversity of food in Copenhagen is not hard. At all.
Those who've served on exec know we spent years hoping to get this conference in Copenhagen. I'm so glad it's finally happening and look forward to seeing many of you there,

Hi all, It's great to read all the enthusiatic suggestions on the list on what to do and where to eat in Copenhagen, keep it coming! We have made a little section on the conference website, where we have posted some useful guides (including our own Copenhagen ABC) and plus a few picks of the local committee with their favourite places in Cph: http://conferences.aoir.org/best.htm and a subsite on eating and dining in Cph, also with some of our suggestions and "secret places" http://conferences.aoir.org/food.htm (and apologies in advance for the table layout, OCS is definitely not made for aesthetic webdesign!) best Liz Klastrup Conf.

Hi all, We've also now updated the "travel" part of the conference website, with information on how to get from the airport to your hotels: http://conferences.aoir.org/travel.htm And there is information on how to get to the conference venue from your various hotels: http://conferences.aoir.org/venue.htm Fyi, the conference venue is the IT University and it's Denmark's smallest university (!) so all of the university is comprised within just one building, located on Rued Langgaards vej 7. Registration desk, coffee break and lunch site is located in our big atrium on the ground floor, right inside the main entrance from Rued Langgaardsvej, so you won't miss it! Registration and information desk is open: Wednesday from 10-16 Thursday from 7.45 and until official conference program closes. Friday and Saturday from 9.00 and and until official conference program closes. See many of you very soon in Copenhagen :) Liz Klastrup Conf.chair

We have been using Crowdvine for this in relation to other conferences (easy to use) but I hear NING is even better: http://www.ning.com/ Our Crowdvine sites are: http://youtube08election.crowdvine.com/ and http://dgo2009.crowdvine.com/ ~Stu On Thu, Oct 9, 2008 at 11:16 AM, Lisbeth Klastrup <klastrup@itu.dk> wrote:

No reason not to use IR9 as a hashtag... yes?

Not that I know of, but I am one of the iPhoneless, and I suspect I am not alone.

2L == SL? Or is it something completely different. I am so out of it. There is an SL preconf, and I know that last year they had an in-world site in parallel. Not sure if they will this year. Note that as with most of these technologies, the user rules. Let folks know via AIR-L, Facebook, or the wiki if you are setting something up, or just tag it with IR9 so we find it. - Alex -- // // This email is // [X] assumed public and may be blogged / forwarded. // [ ] assumed to be private, please ask before redistributing. // // Alexander C.

Hi all, Yet another mail from your friendly neighbourhood chair: At the Internet Research 9.0 conference, we have pre-booked a number of smaller meeting rooms where people can meet up during the conference for a) BOFs (Bird of a Feather) - interest group meet-ups b) meetings with colleagues that you might as well have while you're in the same geographical place
From Wednesday Oct 15th and for the duration of the conference, it will be possible for you yourself onsite to book these meeting rooms at a first come, first serve basis at the ITU reception desk (located right across from the conference registration desk) - we believe in the power of self-organisation! The nice plp in reception are happy to help out (they can also tell you how many people the rooms can hold).
Furthermore, we'll gladly help you announce the BOF's on the assigned infowall at the registration desk and at appropriate occasions, so please let me know if you want to head a BOF meet-up, on which topic, which day and when. Once you have booked a room and have a set time for your BOF, based on previous experience, I think advertising BOF's on this list, is normally quite effective. Another place to advertise them is on the Facebook group for the conference, which has quite a few members: http://www.facebook.com/groups.php?id=505511345#/group.php?gid=23669370880 and other social media sites of course. (ps. have already heard from a few of you, following mail to registrants, your wishes have been taken ad notam!) best Liz Klastrup
