Developers Workshop 2007

Netlabs Developers Workshop 2007 7 & 8 July Amsterdam, Holland

This page is dedicated to the OS/2 and eComStation Developers Workshop 2007!

Workshop Location

This years edition will be held in the beautiful and famous city of Amsterdam in Holland. I won't comment on some of the more well known attractions of this city, but if you have the time, I would advise you to at least spent a day there, when you are in Holland anyway !

The event location will be: Cultural center Griffioen of the VU Amsterdam. It is related to the VU university of Amsterdam, the seat of Dr. Andrew Tannebaum.

It is located at the border of Amsterdam and Amstelveen, but it is very easy to reach from the city center. http://www.vu.nl/Organisatie/index.cfm/home_subsection.cfm/subsectionid/9DB86C70-F9C7-4704-8C9D9ED46EEDB063

Accomodation

Please do not wait too long before booking a hotel or hostel, Amsterdam is still a tourist magnet !

For a cheap, but good quality, hostel look at:

This one is located on the edge of the city center, and close to the stops of tram line 5.

If you are looking for another hotel or hostel, being close to tram line 5 or 51 makes traveling to the location very easy !

How to reach the workshop

By train:

The event is close to the station 'Amsterdam - Zuid'. If you travel with an international train you need to transfer at 'Amsterdam Duivendrecht', there are 2 direct trams from 'Amsterdam - Centraal', line 5 and 51.

By plane:

Travel to 'Amsterdam Airport Schiphol' there is an enormous amount of airlines flying there. Soo it should be possible to get there at a reasonable price. The airport is one stop away with the train. be sure NOT to travel into the direction of 'Amsterdam Centraal'

By car:

Although there is plenty of free parking space near the event, be aware that parking is expensive and that there are high fines on not paying if you stay in the city of Amsterdam !!. From all directions: travel to the 'Ring A10' and take exit 'VU Hospital'. More exact directions will follow soon.
