+ | |||
+ | ==== Refreshments ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Bring your own lunch, or get something at one of the nearby establishments. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A hot drinks machine (tea, coffee, hot chocolate) is available, PUG will provide coins (and instructions!) to operate it. Please use your own coins if you want to use the adjacent canned drinks machine. | ||
+ | |||
+ | PUG will supply biscuits for those requiring a sugar-rush. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Hands-on sessions==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | These will be using the computers in the lecture suite at OUCS. I suggest that you: | ||
+ | * bring a memory stick with a copy of your PEDIGREE on it - or at least a GEDCOM export from your database | ||
+ | * bring a memory stick with at least 1Gb free space for the PortableApps session | ||
+ | Of course, these two might be the same memory stick :-) | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Other attractions ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you have a large (and legal!) download you want to do, the lecture room network will be running 10+ times faster than your home network! | ||
+ | |||
+ | We will have one or two machines running the NBI (version 3) if you want to check that for ancestors. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We hope to have access to FindMyPast organised for the day. | ||
