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'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.
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.
Group 1 accomodation booking
JD, Kinnison, rjek, Sledge, Noodles and Dom are booked into http://www.laj.be/html/en/hostels/brel/aubergesbrel_en01.htm
Atlas hotel
mjg59, moray, daf, stargirl and mhy have all booked to stay at the Atlas hotel, http://www.atlas.be/
Beer
Place to meet on Friday?
Paul Sladen: There's a semi-unorganised drink-fest IIRC. Not to be missed.
Details at http://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2005-February/001907.html
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. Photos are available in my gallery: http://photos.jonmasters.org/FOSDEM2004/012_Le_Grand_Place_4
