moray: I'm flying from Edinburgh, like I did last year.

'''Sledge''': I'll be driving from Cambridge; it's a relatively short
and easy trip, and with 4 in the car not too expensive either
(comparable to the train, at worst). The following 4 people will be in
the car:

 * Sledge
 * Wookey
 * Daniel Silverstone
 * Robert Kendrick

We should be in Brussels ~18:30 on the Friday, and need to leave again
~18:00 on Sunday. If people have kit they'd ''desperately'' like taken
from Cambridge to Brussels or back, let me know.

nat: I'm probably flying from Bristol on Friday at about 9ish like the last 2 years.

moray: I'm flying from Edinburgh, like I did last year.

Accomodation

Any ideas?

JD: Youth hostels about 15EUR a night. Conference hotel has been around 50GBP a night.

Riddell: KDE have booked http://www.laj.be/html/en/hostels/brel/aubergesbrel_en01.htm

jcm: http://wiki.fosdem.org/tiki-index.php?page=FreeSleeping_and_Internet_in contains a list of the people staying with the Mind guys in Leuven, home of Stella Artois, and also of a certain Embedded Linux company held in high esteem.

Beer

Place to meet on Friday?

Paul Sladen: There's a semi-unorganised drink-fest IIRC. Not to be missed.

JD: usually drinks on the top floor of the Le Roi d'Espagne on the Grand Place. Can't miss it; it's the one with the stuffed horse. Probably go for food before.

jcm: Le Roi is the place to be on Friday night.
