Hi all,

I recall an earlier email with parking and meeting room number info
but I can't locate it on this group or CURATEcamp wiki. There is this
post: http://curatecamp.org/content/curatecamp-2011-coming

So to confirm... CURATEcamp will kick off at 8am(!!) at the Meyer &
Green Library (Room Number?). Is there a campus map link for the
library building?

Also, my wife heard 'San Francisco' and decided it was critical she
accompany me for this important event. That means I am now staying
downtown in a Nob Hill hotel and driving a rental car into Stanford
during rush hour. Can a local please recommend the best rush hour
route. It looks like my freeway options are: 101, 280, or 82. What
time should I leave downtown to make the 8am start?

Cheers, --peter

Hi Peter - here's some of the info:

 

 


 

CURATECamp 2011

Hello Curate Campers!

Looking forward to seeing you all next week! Several of you have sent in questions in response to my last message. Here are some answers and additional details.

Is late check-in available?
Yes! The Stern Conference Front Desk shown on this map http://www.stanford.edu/dept/rde/scs/area/mapSternCO.html is open until 8pm. After that, you can call the posted number to reach an On-Duty staff person for check in.

Note: Curate Camp has been re-located to Stern: Casa Zapata

When will we eat?
Sandwiches will be available on Sunday evening for people to pick up as they arrive--so no set meal time on Sunday.

Monday and Tuesday--breakfast is at 8am, lunch at 12:30. All are welcome. Commuters, if you want breakfast and morning coffee, join the rest of the campers at the Stern Dining Hall. Coffee will not be available in the meeting rooms.

Monday, dinner is at 6pm, after the digitization lab tours, scheduled for 4:30. Again, all are welcome. Following dinner, there will be an "encampment". Stay tuned for details...

Tuesday dinner is on your own for people who are staying over. There are lots of dining options available: http://www.stanford.edu/dept/visitorinfo/activities/dining.html

What's the meeting schedule? We'll convene in the Meyer Library Flex Lab (2nd floor) at 9am. This is an unconference! We'll map out the details and content then.

Do we have to bring our own linens?
No! Linens; bedspreads, sheets, pillow and pillowcase, blanket, two towels and a washcloth, soap, soap dish, and paper cups are provided.

What are parking logistics? If you are arriving on Sunday, you can purchase a parking pass when you check in. Parking gets more complicated during the week. For commuters who arrive early--like before 8:30 for breakfast, we'll plan to have an area set up in the Stern Dining hall where you can purchase a parking pass for the Resident Student Permit Lots; EA, ES, SO, WE, and SJ. You can park in one of these spots, pick up your pass, and take it back to your car.

If you arrive after 8:30am on Monday, plan to park in one of the visitor pay lots http://transportation.stanford.edu/parking_info/VisitorParking.shtml (Wilbur structure, for example). You'll be able to buy a pass for Tuesday some time during the day on Monday.

Note: Stanford strongly encourages use of alternative transportation; car pooling, biking, public transportation. Learn more about these options on the Parking and Transportation web site http://transportation.stanford.edu/alt_transportation/AlternativeTransportation.shtml

What about network access? We will provide guest wireless access. This access will work in the meeting rooms, but not in the dorms. (You could always bring your laptop back over to the first floor of Meyer Library after hours if need be--it's a short walk from Stern.)

That's it for now! See y'all soon!

Katherine

Peter,

Take 280 from SF, get off at Sand Hill. I'd give it a little over an hour to make it from door to campus--plus an extra 10 minutes to get lost on campus, and then to find a parking spot and walk to the library.

- Tom
