I'm stoked - we've been approved for a dev room at FOSDEM on Saturday,
February 2nd, in Brussels.
It is just the one day, but I figure we can find ways to gather on
Friday night and/or Sunday as well.
I really think this will be a fun change of pace for us. If it doesn't
work out, we'll just go camp out in Marcus's back yard instead <evil grin>.
One thing they require from us is a pre set schedule, so I'll be asking
people to suggest topics, and then we'll have to weed through them to
figure out what makes the most sense.
Cheers,
Jeremy

Hi,
We should stay in the same hotel if possible to ease gathering.
Did someone already choose one? Could You make a special arrangement again (like in Paris,
IIRC)?
How long is a fosdem day? As of fosdem 2012 archive it seems 10:30-19:00(7pm).
I'm asking all that because i plan to travel per train, and it can be much cheaper if
you book early.

No, we haven't yet picked a hotel. I was poking around a bit; looks
like it's not obvious. I see that other projects have varying
strategies for handling this.
Anyone feeling like a travel planner and want to volunteer for that job?
Or anyone know Brussels and/or FOSDEM such that they can suggest good
strategies?
Cheers,
Jeremy

Has there been any further decision about this? I'll be at FOSDEM on behalf
of Razor and would love to sit in at the Wine talks.

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. We will definitely be at
FOSDEM and will have a DevRoom on Sunday.
We don't (yet) have a hotel, nor do we have a full agenda. But we're
not alone, I gather it's typical of most projects to scramble at the
last minute.
At the moment, I'm considering booking the Best Western Royale Centre:
http://www.royalcentre.be/
It has the right combination of moderate price and a hotel bar :-/.
It's really hard to judge location; it's a 30 minute tram ride away from
the conference, but it seems as though most hotels are going to be a
fairly ways away.
Of course, everyone is welcome to make their own decisions, but it seems
like it would be more fun if we all stay together.
Again, if anyone has any opinion on this, or first hand knowledge of
Brussels, that would be welcome.
Cheers,
Jeremy
