Hello working group,

The W3C working group meeting will be at the Google Sao Paulo office on Tuesday @ 10AM (BRT) Sao Paulo time.


:::: Joining remotely ::::

For those who are unable to attend in person (we will miss you), please use the following Hangouts link to join.  If you send me your email address (one that is backed by a Google Account or Gmail address), I could invite you in advance.

:::: Attending in person ::::

If you are planning on attending in person, please let me know such that I can pre-register you in advance (both with the office building and Google).

As traffic can be heavy in Sao Paulo and the building will take a bit longer to enter (~10 min), please plan ahead.

Google Maps shows that driving from the Conference venue / nearby hotel can take up to 50 minutes.  Thus, to play it safe, you might want to leave the hotel by 9AM.  There will be plenty of coffee for those who arrive early.

Here is the address of the office:

Google Sao Paulo
18? Andar, Av. Brg. Faria Lima, 3477 - Itaim Bibi, S?o Paulo - SP, 04538-133

When you arrive at the building, try and take the escalator to the first floor.  On the first floor, you will need to pass through the main lobby reception (for access to the building).  Once you have made it past the gates, take an elevator to the 18th floor as follows.  Find elevator "P" (a safe bet), enter the floor number (18) from the control panel outside of the elevator.  Upon arriving at the floor, look for the Google lobby.  If you do not see me or a fellow Googler, ask the Google lobby receptionist to IM me.

I will likely update the instructions tomorrow, in an effort to simplify things.  If you are staying at one of the main hotels, see if you can share a ride with a Googler, which would really speed up entering the building, picking up a guest badge, and then finding the conference room which is on the 19th floor.  Just send me an email tomorrow and I will try and connect you with someone.

Thank you,
David
