London is the centre of the world!  Its five airports transport the largest number of passengers annually in all city airports combined.  Heathrow and Gatwick are easiest for transport to the city centre, but Luton and Stanstead are also options.  Those hunting a bargain may wish to check Birmingham Airport paired with a cheap 90 minute train ride to London Euston (trains are booked through http://thetrainline.com - much cheaper in advance).  Other England airports may also be options with cheap coaches from MegaBus or National Express.  Info on local travel is available at http://tfl.gov.uk - best to get a weekend pass or an Oyster card with 15 quid on it for the weekend.

There's plenty of places available in London for a range of budgets.  Google is your friend.  Transport is good all over, so any location would be fine, though sticking is zone 1 or 2 is cheaper for tube travel.  Hammersmith would be my best recommendation - lots of buses from there, or the quick tube option.  You can frequently find good deals on http://lastminute.co.uk or http://laterooms.com (and in spite of their names they're fine to use in advance).  Beware that a lot of places either don't have or charge extra for wireless.  Book as early as possible for the best prices, as London gets very pricey on short notice.

=== Venue ===
[http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/ Imperial College London] - South Kensington Campus, SW7 2AZ.  Pretty much exactly here:
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?t=h&q=IRDC2012@51.499800,-0.175300&z=12
Meeting in room 301D of the Royal School of Mines building (no 12 on [http://workspace.imperial.ac.uk/energyfutureslab/public/South%20Kensington%20campus%20map.pdf this map]).  Access is through Prince Consort Road (the main entrance on Exhibition Road will be closed).  Due to security restrictions at weekends we're best meeting first in a nearby cafe and I can guide everyone to the meeting room.
[Do you mind specifying a cafe you have in mind so we know where to head? Cheers. [[User:Mort432|Mort432]] 19:44, 15 April 2012 (CEST)]
>[Not sure yet.  Might meet on the steps of the Albert Memorial.  Will decide closer to the time. - Darren]
Wifi: Those affiliated with universities will be able to log on to the Eduroam system.  For others I'll try and arrange for guest logins.
Nearest tube station is South Kensington on the District and Piccadilly lines.  Very central and easy to get to.  Buses from all parts of the city also stop nearby.
There's lots to do in the area for after the conference, including the (free) Natural History Museum and Museum of Science next door.  And it's London, so there's loads to do and see and places to eat in general.  You may want to make an extended weekend of it if you're interested in some serious tourism.  It's also a long bank holiday weekend for England (Monday and Tuesday off), which generally makes for a nice atmosphere.

All agenda items are fluid.

Monday 4th June (Not officially part of IRDC, but some indie dev stuff that folks may be interested in if they're around)

  • 1-9pm Indie Games Expo in London - http://indiegamesexpo.info/ We've been offered a stand to show off roguelikes here if anyone's interested. I may also be giving a talk on artistic gameplay in roguelikes.
  • There is a meet-up of Indie Devs at a pub in central London at around 7pm. It's a good opportunity to meet some other devs and see some of their games. More info: http://londonindies.com/?page_id=116 However the Expo may completely overshadow or subsume this meet.

Transportation

London is the centre of the world! Its five airports transport the largest number of passengers annually in all city airports combined. http://www.skyscanner.net/ is handy for getting a good price deal (it doesn't check Ryanair though). Heathrow and Gatwick are easiest for transport to the city centre, but Luton and Stanstead are also options. Those hunting a bargain may wish to check Birmingham Airport paired with a cheap 90 minute train ride to London Euston (trains are booked through http://thetrainline.com - much cheaper in advance). Other England airports may also be options with cheap coaches from MegaBus or National Express. Info on local travel is available at http://tfl.gov.uk - best to get a weekend pass or an Oyster card with 15 quid on it for the weekend.

If you have further questions feel free to ask me directly - I'm happy to help.

Accommodation

There's plenty of places available in London for a range of budgets. Google is your friend. Transport is good all over, so any location would be fine, though sticking is zone 1 or 2 is cheaper for tube travel. Hammersmith would be my best recommendation - lots of buses from there, or the quick tube option. You can frequently find good deals on http://lastminute.co.uk or http://laterooms.com (and in spite of their names they're fine to use in advance). Beware that a lot of places either don't have or charge extra for wireless. Book as early as possible for the best prices, as London gets very pricey on short notice.

Looking around, for somewhere cheap this seems sort of okay: http://www.laterooms.com/en/hotel-reservations/158205_euro-hotel-hammersmith-london.aspx (wifi, supposedly en suite, dodgy breakfast included, good location) Twinning up with others obviously saves cash for those so inclined.

Post here with details of where you're staying or looking at staying - it may be helpful if many are staying in the same place.

Equipment & Supplies

  • Projector will be set up in the room.
  • Camcorder: Still Required
  • Tripod: Still Required
  • Food: Lots of places to go nearby.

Refreshments required/desired: I'll arrange for refreshments for the room. Post here with any requests for specific drinks/snacks. - Darren Grey

Obviously we'll need some slime mold. And Pepsi. You've got to have Pepsi when rogueliking. Mort432 16:08, 26 April 2012 (CEST)

How we get there and back and where to meet up

Post your own info here and check back for updates.

I live nearby and will be available all day Friday to Monday. Happy to meet up at whatever time suits others. - Darren Grey

Me and the family will arrive on Thursday and leave on Monday. We will arrive and leave in the afternoon - Björn Ritzl

I'll be in London from Friday to Sunday (to and from Berne and London City Airport, arriving with SX500 on 2012-06-01 07:50 and leaving with SX503 on 2012-06-03 18:30). --Patric Mueller

Questions

Post questions here with your name.

What does the abbreviation IRDC stand for?

Mort432 20:35, 3 March 2012 (CET)

A: International Roguelike Development Conference. (Darren)


Can you give a brief description of the event for someone who has never attended?

Mort432 20:35, 3 March 2012 (CET)

A: It's a meet-up of roguelike developers to talk about development related topics. There are normally presentations on different subjects relating to development, as well as just generally hanging out and networking. Roguelike players are welcome to attend too. (Darren)


Is there a cost of admission?

Mort432 13:15, 4 March 2012 (CET)

A: Nope, it's free and open source! (Darren)

R: Sweet, free speech and free beer; I'll definitely be attending, hah. Thanks for all the replies.

Mort432 21:07, 4 March 2012 (CET)


Do talks have to be on development, or can they also be from a player perspective?

Mort432 23:41, 5 March 2012 (CET)

A: There is no strict division between the two. Talks can be about anything game or programming related that can be applied to roguelikes. There's no requirement to give a talk and it doesn't need to be very formal. At IRDC 2011 we had discussions ranging from the mechanics of specific games to general program architecture and programming practices. There were even people there that had never played a roguelike. For me it's entirely a social event, a chance to meet people I've been talking to online for years. There's no prestige in being a developer or "only" a player - if you enjoy roguelikes you "qualify" and should attend!


Q: What time do we start on Saturday? (Björn)

A: Probably 10am, but I'll confirm closer to the time. - Darren

Q: What are the chances of getting the video footage of (at least) talks uploaded so the wider community can enjoy them? [Sidenote: I'd volounteer for that but I'm not going to be there. And this: Please please pretty please?] magikmw

A: If someone brings a camcorder then it'll definitely happen, but right now I can't promise that. - Darren
