How do I get there?

Sunnyvale is in the heart of California's Silicon Valley. It is about a 30 minute drive from the San Francisco airport (SFO), a 40 minute drive from the Oakland airport (OAK), and 15 minutes from the San Jose airport (SJC). You will probably need a car, but several people are coordinating carpools, so if you need a ride, please post in the forums.

The following are directions to the Sunnyvale complex from all the major highways.

Parking

Upon arrival onto FIRST AVENUE, make your first RIGHT hand turn toward the security kiosk. A guard will direct you to the correct parking structure from there.

How much?

The conference is FREE! However, in order for Yahoo to generate campus passes, we will require everyone to register. Unfortunately, we are now over capacity and registrations are closed.

Where should I stay?

There are several nearby hotels. We are recommending the Sunnyvale Sheraton or the more budget priced Best Western. We will also be researching the possibility of a group room rate. Stay tuned.

The conference starts up early on Thursday and Friday (the 22nd and 23rd) so you'll probably want to fly in Wednesday at the latest.

Request for Video

It would be great to be able to post video of the event for those who aren't able to attend. We're looking for volunteers to video tape sessions and post them on the web.

If you would like to volunteer or help coordinate this effort, please post here:

What else?

There will be a free wi-fi network for those with laptops. Coffee, snacks, and lunch will all be available on the Yahoo! campus. Some will be sponsored (i.e. free), bring some cash for the rest.

There are also a few adjunct events happening around the conference, so be sure to accommodate these in your travel plans.

I want the OSCMS logo to stick on my website!
