Also, to registrants and speakers: please make sure you made your hotel 
arrangements, hopefully via the discounted link on the conference page!

So I just looked at the hotel-to-conference directions, looks like a 10 
minute walk (!)

I just booked a car, but could cancel it. Anyone from the area know 
whether it's worth having a car there or should I just book a shuttle 
to/from the airport?

Went the shuttle route. If anyone interested, it's $68 round trip ($34 
each way) to Orem via http://www.expressshuttleutah.com/

The Salt Lake and Utah county areas are a bit of a sprawl but our 
public transit is one of the better in the United States.

Roundtrip lightrail/train (TRAX/Frontrunner) from the airport to 
Orem's Hampton Inn is $11, I believe.

Doesn't work for me I think because of the late arrival time (10 pm), 
thanks for the info though.

BTW, my first dconf, I tried public transportation in San Francisco. Got 
to my hotel after 2 hours of bus/train for what is about a 30 minute 
drive. Only cost me $7 though!

I like the shuttle idea :)

BTW, I will stress again that I'm going to be at the hotel all day 
Tuesday (and without a car) if anyone is interested in hanging out :)

For those of us not going, any update on the live streaming 
setup?  That was a great way for those not there to take part 
last time, even posing after-talk questions and conversing with 
those there over irc. :)

I don't want to sell the conference team short, but having worked 
in professional A/V for business events, I wouldn't start 
organizing a livestream viewing party just yet. Producing a 
broadcast-quality, stable real-time video stream is no piece of 
cake, especially when you are doing it for the first time.

Then again, setting up a laptop to push a crappy webcam stream to 
Twitch or YouTube Live should be easy enough, at least if the 
university LAN is well-designed enough to provide a half-decent 
uplink.

We're working on getting the streaming questions answered. Hold on!
