Hi, this is the latest (and maybe last until the event starts) news report 
from the Warpstock Europe Organisation team.

PRESENTATIONS / SCHEDULE:
-------------------------
Changes might happen!
The problem is that Henrik Heigl of CACert had to cancel his appearance 
quite suddenly. We are now in the process of checking if/who/how someone 
else can take over his sessions.
If there's no solution at hand, we will simply cancel the INT07 sessions 
and fill the gaps with the sessions from the last slot of Sunday. That way, 
we will return to a closing of WSE at 17:15 (5:15pm) that we actually had 
planned.
Note: This only affects the CACert- *SESSIONS*! Assurance digital 
certificates will still be possible of course at the booth of Team OS/2 
Koeln/Bonn e.V.!
(As soon as we have news for this, we'll broadcast them here)

"PBX on eComStation" - revealed:
The acronym "PBX" (which I didn't hear of too much until now) stands for 
Private Branch eXchange and means a private phone network with a central 
controlling system, although there's much more to it.
So if you want to see a live, brand-new, state-of-the-art commercial 
solution that enters the market with eComStation on board, you shouldn't 
miss these presentation.
(more details on the website)


TRAVELLER SERVICE
-----------------
Cologne Central Station:
Basically, it's quite simple: Exit central station at either gate on the 
"Breslauer Platz" side (the side "without cathedral" <g> this is in 
direction of ASCENDING track numbers). Then turn left to follow the "U" 
signs (meaning "U"nderground). After approx. 300-400 meters get down into 
the subway station, taking either entry - all ends up the same single track 
that is the terminus of Line 19 (the only one). SO get into the 19 in 
direction of "Buchheim" and exit the tran at station "Boltensternstrasse". 
Again, ake a walk of about 400 meters to get into the Youth Hostel (we wil 
have put signs there by thursday evening).
(description will also be published on website)

Parkings at YH:
Yesterday I tried to find addtional parkings. You don't have to use the Zoo 
parking lot - especially since the entry was closed although there appear 
to have been free spaces and because it's not really close to the YH.
If all spaces at the YH are taken, leave the parking and turn right into 
the direction of the bridge. After approx. 500 meters, there's a street 
named "Am Kuhweg" that will exit on the right (also indicated by "Hafen" or 
"Bus parking").
Follow that street!
Pass under the bridge and follow up to the Bus Parking that will be on your 
right in 200 more meters. There should be enough free space in this area. 
 From here, it's a 15 minute walk back to the YH using the reverse way.
Returning: Leave the Bus parking and turn right. At the corssing, do a 
"U-turn" and enter the exit that ascends on your right (direction 
"Zentrum"). Change lanes onto the driveway and continue straight ahead. 
Then, turn either left towards centre town or right for accessing the 
motorway A1 (or A3, A4, A57 via the Koeln-Nord junction).

TICKET PRESALE:
---------------
I don't know why one would want to make this a secret - perhaps one or the 
other is interested in this:
The WSE tickets page was "closed" on Friday. Although not everybody was 
able to find a combination for his visit, we have been able to sell an 
average of more than 60 tickets for each event day! This means more than 
180 tickets were sold, which is quite impressive as we expect to sell quite 
a lot of 1-day tickets at the desk in addition. As soon as we have visitor 
numbers from the event, I will poste them here so that the WSE2007 team 
knows what to expect...  :-)

Well that was all for today - see you in Cologne!
