FOSDEM 2005

[http://www.fosdem.org/2005/ FOSDEM 2005] is happening on 26/27th February in Brussels. A bunch of ["DebianUK"] people are likely to be going, leaving at some point on Friday 25th, consuming a huge amount of beer, and returning either Sunday evening or Monday morning.

Transport

Eurostar seems to be the preferred choice. the £59.00 return option is available under multiple guises (see below); however there's a limited (and shared) quota on each departure at that price; After that it's £69.00, £79.00 ...

Yoof-26 fare for people still with hair
Leisure-Saver, need to stay one Saturday night away, or two nights during the week (non-changeable etc)
Leisure-Saver, but booked 21days in advance (also non-changeable etc)
OAP, fare for people without hair, anyone feel like trying this on?

The 10:43 on Friday seems to be £29.50, but returns on Sunday night at 17:56 or 20:25 are £49.50. I can't see anything later. - JD

The 10:42 on Friday seems to have gone up to £39.50 now, so you may as well leave at 14:42. - Robot101

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

moray: I plan to fly 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.

jcm: I'm going to want to sort this if possible before February.

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: The guys at http://www.mind.be/ have, in previous years, offered crash space and are likely to do so again. Stay tuned for announcements from them.

moray: mjg59, stargirl and I plan to stay at the Atlas, http://www.atlas.be/

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.

-Well I mailed these people from Mind some time ago and they said me that the crash space is not available anymore. If I recall correctly this is because they have moved. Anyway don't count on this. Fabrice(11/01/05 fabrice@kde.nl)
