= The 8th Cheese and Wine party =
[[File:Cheesewine.svg|thumb|400px|right]]
= When? =

[https://penta.debconf.org/penta/pentabarf/event/916|Monday, July 9th, 21:00-00:00]

= Where? =

[http://osm.org/go/YQmNf3eIp-- CIPRES], about 5-10 minute walk at geek speed from  the main hacklab. From  Hacklab, turn left and go down to UCA exit on Pista de la Resistancia. Walk eastwards for 100-150m. Cross the street as you can (running can help). The place we handle C&W is about 50m west of what's marked "Farmer's market" on OSM. It's a nice open place that looks like a bar. It is big enough and we can be either inside (if there's rain) or outside...or both.

= Why? =

Cheese is Good For You. Wine also helps. This C&W is the 8th official DebConf Cheese and Wine party. The first C&W was improvised in Helsinki during DebConf 5, in the so-called "French" room.

Cheese and Wine parties are now a tradition for Debconf. The event is very simple: bring good stuff from your country, preferably cheese, wine and|or any other good stuff that can be drunk or eaten. Even if you don't bring anything, feel free to participate: our priorities are our users and free cheese.

Some bits from previous C&W:

= Questions? =

Write to Christian Perrier <bubulle@debian.org> or ask in the [http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss debconf-discuss] mailing list.

== FAQ ==

'''Can i participate to C&W (aka eat and drink) if I couldn't bring anything?''' A: Sure you can. No cheese control at entrance. No "secret cheese cabal" checklist. But you can certainly find something to bring. No cheese? Maybe some nice bottle of <insert favourite $beverage here>. Or some nice thing to eat from your place. Whatever.


'''I couldn't bring anything from $HOME but would like to participate. Is there a way to do so?''' A: We have been recommended a shop that sells really good local cheese (and not only cheese). It is called "Bavaria Delikatessen" and is located "km 9 carretera a Masaya, plaza stop and go" (his is exactly how I got the address!). The shop should be opened on Sunday.
