FuzzyFox is attempting to sort out some unofficial transport back to the airport however nothing is guaranteed. There may be a minibus that will get you to the airport in 20 minutes and in time for your check-in if enough people are leaving at the same time. This transport will not be free however will be very cheap. Visit [http://etherpad.com/iWjagp9rok this etherpad] if you are interested. | |||
If you are after a shuttle on Monday please come and find FuzzyFox or fill in the etherpad page with the requested information. Shuttles will be booked at 5:30 on Sunday and people who book a shuttle MUST NOT change to another mode of transport to the airport without informing William Q. | |||

Free WiFi is going to be available in all the conference rooms on Saturday and Sunday. The WiFi network will be called "EUMOZCAMP" and/or "andelshotel". | |||
==== Internet access in rooms ==== | |||
All the hotel rooms of Mozilla Camp participants are provided with FREE LAN Internet access. An Ethernet cable is provided but there is only one cable per room. | |||

It's a little confusing, but that's how it works in this hotel :) | |||
