Hackfest/Toulouse2014



The second LibreOffice hackfest in France will take place in on November 15-16 (Saturday and Sunday).

Getting to the venue
Toulouse Hackfest location, airport and train station

By train
Train station is about 15minutes from Hackfest location. You can also bus use line 14, more information on http://www.tisseo.fr/.

By flight
Toulouse Blagnac airport is served by public transport to Toulouse town center. When you arrive at the airport, go to exit of "Hall B", that is were all the busses and taxis are waiting. Standing outside the airport, on your right hand side you find an entrance "tisseo" right next to the exit. You can buy a ticket for the shuttle bus (navette aeroport) to the center there for 5.50EUR. They should be able to tell you were the right bus is too. You can also buy a ticket directly in the bus, but you need exact change. The right bus is the one that says "Gare Routiere" on the sign.

Take the shuttle bus until the second-to-last stop "Matabiau SNCF". When exiting the bus, you should be right next to a small canal (canal du midi). Cross over the canal (eastwards) towards a big 1800ish train station building. Right after crossing the canal, turn right (south) and follow along the canal. After some 500m between the canal and the railroad tracks (those are sometimes behind the buildings) you should see the Kyriad hotel on the left hand side. The Hackfest location is right across the canal.

 * Low-hanging fruit: Recently Caolán implemented the possibility in Writer to print PDFs with comments inside the margin. However, this is limited for printing and, so far, no one has touched the PDF export dialogue yet. Like printing, PDF exporting of documents with comments is a very common use case. Hence, this new feature is not available in the PDF export dialogue, although the feature itself is actually implemented. Caolán describes the (for users complicated) work-around that it is necessary to activate it in "Tools" > "Options" > "LibreOffice Writer" > "Print". There is currently no way to activate/deactivate it from the PDF export dialog. Please see for details and a sample .ui file how it could look like. This feature is a low hanging fruit as it seems to involve mostly a small change in the UI.

Accomodation
Participants have to book their hotel room. Closest hotel is available on http://www.kyriad-toulouse-centre.fr/en.

Travel Bursaries
The Document Foundation may be able to refund tickets to and from Toulouse Hackfest, after prior approval by the organizers, under the following conditions:
 * transportation and accomodation as available on location. You are encouraged to share a two-bed room with a fellow hacker if this is easy to organize and coordinate, but this is not a hard requirement.
 * volunteer-first - people affiliated with a company involved in LibreOffice work will come last
 * first-come-first-served - participants will get reimbursed in order of their sign-up on the wiki attendance list, until budget runs out.
 * ask the organizers as soon as possible (ideally right before booking) if budget is still available. Be aware of the fact that tax law requires us to collect original receipts, so please keep them (or hand them in right there in Paris)

Please be economic and pick cheap travel - flights to Toulose should still be available at a reasonable price.

For those who attended: If you'd like to request a travel reimbursal, please follow the HowTo at TDF/Policies/Refunding for the SPI refunding, and mail [mailto:treasurer@documentfoundation.org treasurer@documentfoundation.org] with your documents.
