Naturally... at york campus, home of hoards of nazis with pitchforks who chase down everyone who arrives with their own wheels... despite being surrounded by MILES of fields that can be paved for cheap for free parking.
For anybody going in expecting a working bus and subway system.... don't get your hopes up. Our public transit system capacity met demand and was fully modern and up to date.... in 1951. Since then? Not so much.

Yeah, our transit system goes north-south a lot better than it goes east-west at the moment, and our politicians keep thinking that light rail with stops every few hundred meters is going to help everyone get across a >30km wide city in a hurry.

I'm going to be driving a full-size pickup truck out there, sounds like it should be exciting. Four wheel drive so if someone complains I'm not sufficiently "green" I can go park in one of those fields.

Guess I might need to fit a bigger front bumper if they're going to have pitchforks

Hmmm, try again? No reports of PayPal issues today and see a few others subscribed.

I have no need to ever be up there, but the most recent time that I was there (watching some of the track stuff at the pan am games a little over a month ago), I found parking to be very reasonable (it was $8 ... was expecting to be fleeced at the normal downtown rate) ... didn't see any pitchfork wielding nazis either !

Unfortunate that the extension up to york isn't done yet ... some heads did roll on that though.

Michael, why not consider seriously crowdfunding your attendance?
Have people put some money to send you to conferences?

Just did, firefox latest stable version on MacOs gets installed with pop-ups disabled by default (which is not bad at all IMHO), after changing that setting all well

PS
your site looks sexy with no banners.. hard to go back. I understand how hard must be for "small" projects to survive without advertising.. but I like to think there are some ways (can't imagine anything now, except some people will be always be happy to buy linux supported hardware, but how harder would it be then to sell stuff?). Good luck!

Because it's hard enough getting people to even tip that it's hard to imagine people willing to crowdfund for conference coverage.
