There is a very cheap bus that takes about 6 hours, and a reasonably
cheap plane that takes one hour.  Debconf is looking at making sure
there are extra busses running to make sure people can get there on the
bus at a minimum, but the plane also looks interesting for those who
might possibly be a little tired after the flight from Europe.
