Instructions for Remote Attendance:

The virtual conference room will be for the video part at: http://webconf.vc.dfn.de/go-essp. This connection probably also will have an audio channel. However, as this often has poor sound quality, we will set up a phone conference in parallel:
To establish a sound connection by phone dial one of the dfn numbers: +49 30 254 1080 (or +49 711 633 0190)
You then will be asked to enter the Conference ID followed by a hash ("#"), which is: 9792 0390 #
You then enter the virtual conference room.
If you like to, you can try both connections right now already.
As audio quality sometimes is poor, please understand that remote presenters are asked to use the phone channel and not the audio channel of the web conference. Furthermore, as a fallback, it would be good to have a version of the talk's slides in Hamburg at the time of the conference. Together with the local talks we will put that version on the web after the meeting.
