Hi,
For those using Google/Android technology, as a side product
of our efforts to prepare the maps for the Flock attendees,
here is an online map:

Feel free to use it in your devices. There are multiple layers
related with different kinds of interest (event, getting there,
hotel neighborhood), you should switch in on/off according to
your needs.
Cross-posting to speakers and attendees lists to make sure all
interested people get it.
Regards,
Rafal

Questions
by Sylvia Sánchez
Hello everyone!
I'm curious about certain things about transport. There will be a bus from
airport to Krakow? If not, what would be better to take, bus, taxi,
something else?
Is there any details we should be aware of?
Cheers, thanks,
Sylvia S.

Best prepaid mobile plan
by Jonathan Dieter
I've been looking at http://prepaid-data-sim-card.wikia.com/wiki/Poland
and am a bit confused, especially by the mandatory registration that
seems to have gone into effect on July 25.
Can we get a SIM card at the airport, and what's the best operator/plan
for a reasonable amount of data for a couple of weeks? Voice and SMS
don't really matter to me.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Or maybe I just couldn't get LTE where I was at. Just checked and LTE
is working just fine here. Wonderful!
Thanks much,

Just thought I'd put my 2¢ here. I've just arrived in Poland for the
first time today, with my wife and four small children. We've rented a
flat using Airbnb and were trying to decide whether to take the
official airport taxi or public transportation. The Jakdojade.pl
Android app finally pushed the decision in favor of public transport,
especially since it offers a free 1-month trial of the premium service.
We put in the airport as our starting point, the address of our flat as
the destination, and Jakdojade calculated how much we'd have to walk,
what buses to take, and which tickets we should buy for the buses, even
taking into account that the routes are different today given
everything else happening in Krakow right now. Even with four small
kids in tow, there was no stress involved, and we arrived at our flat
within the time estimate.
As a first-time visitor to Krakow, I'd strongly recommend this app if
you're planning to navigate public transportation in Krakow.

Taxi/Uber sharing wiki page
by Josh Berkus
Speakers,
I've created a wiki page for those of us flying in, so that some of us
can split rides.
While I realize that there is a train from the airport, I'm taking an
overnight, and won't be keen to drag my luggage for 1.5 km from the
train station (or, for that matter, figure out the stop names and ticket
system).
If you might want to split a ride to the Best Western, please add your
details!

Arrive in the morning?
by Rafal Luzynski
Hi,
Some people have already announced that they would like to
arrive in the morning, at 9 am or 10 am. Please be aware
that the hotel check-in starts at 2 pm. [1] If you are going
to arrive before that hour please contact the hotel staff
directly or contact me. The hotel staff said that they will
try to accept the guests at earlier hour but even if they
know that you are going to arrive early it may not be possible
to prepare the hotel room for you because the preceding guests
are allowed to stay in their rooms until the noon (12 pm).
Regards,
Rafal

Trip to Auschwitz
by thomas＠redhat.com
All -
I'm coming in on Sunday evening, arriving KRK at 8:35 CEST.
I'd like to pay my respects at the Memorial and Museum
Auschwitz-Birkenau, about 70km away, on Monday, maybe.
Does anyone want to join me?

From the description, taking the bus means taking it all the way to the
city core, and then taking a bus out, potentially with another bus change.
Or did you mean a bus from the train station? I couldn't quite figure
that part out. Realistically, it'd probably take me less time to walk
the 1.5km than wait for a bus.
Really, I'm looking to take a taxi ride because by the time I arrive,
I'll have been in transit for 20 hours, and I don't want to add an extra
hour of bus/train/walking to that.

Since I don't know your bus system, I'm not sure. All of the routes
described, except the straight old city one, seem to involve multiple
bus changes. Doing bus changes in a strange city is challenging even
when you speak and read the language. In a character set I don't share,
I don't even try without a guide.
Is there an online bus map? Or better, a phone app?
I think the bus information is really more useful for folks who speak
Polish.
