Timings

Hi all,

Time for an update about when things will happen before the glorious day of Ru3y Manor.

First: Ticket Sales

The first batch of 100 tickets will go on sale from 10:29 on Monday 19th September at https://rubymanor.eventwax.com/ru3y-manor

The room holds quite a bit more than 100 people, so if you don't get one of these tickets then DON'T PANIC: there will be more tickets for sale.  That said, the surest way of securing a ticket, rather than furiously mashing refresh on Monday, is to get involved on Vestibule.  We'll make sure that those who contribute the most are rewarded for their efforts with a ticket.

Second: Talk selection

We want to make sure that the chosen speakers have time to work on their talks, so we aim to choose the final agenda on Friday 14th October.  To give the speakers 2 weeks to prepare their talks.

As with previous Manors, those talks with the most community interest will be the ones chosen.  Closer to the deadline we'll close talk submissions and encourage more focussed discussion on the existing talks.  We may even (with your help) implement a simple voting scheme to allow the community to directly say which talks they want to hear.

That's all for now...

Cheers,

Murray, James, Tom

Hi,

Any chance of a 'reserve a ticket' button from 10:29 on Monday - I'll be on an unsecured net connection all day and really don't want to have to send any payment details over it.

Thanks

Hmm - not really. We're constrained by the functionality of the ticketing service we use, which we can't really extend in that way.

However, the service uses HTTPS which means your connection should be secure, and if you don't trust that, there are a bunch of simple ways to tunnel your traffic via SSH that could provide an additional level of reassurance...?

Hope that's helpful,

James

Hi Harry,

Hi,

Ok. Unfortunately it'll be on a filtered connection, so no SSH tunelling (somehow, SSH traffic over port 80 is still blocked) :(. But you're right, HTTPS should be perfectly fine.

Thanks for your help.

 

Hope that's helpful,

James

The other thing you can do to effectively "reserve" a ticket is to get involved contributing on Vestibule...
