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 ...

(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.)

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

Accomodation

Any ideas?

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

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 Roy d'Espagne on the Grand Place. Can't miss it; it's the one with the stuffed horse. Probably go for food before.
