FOSDEM 2012: tell us you're coming!

Please let us know that you're coming!

Of course, you don't need to be a rock star or a Foundation members (or French ;-)) to add your name to the list of attendees: everybody is welcome!

T-Shirts

The GNOME booth will send t-shirts (the same ones as the Berlin Desktop Summit) for 10€. We're planning to have a lot of them, but if you want to be on the safe side, add your size in the t-shirt column below: we'll try to reserve a t-shirt for you this way.

Group Photo

We should do one on Saturday in the devroom. We're looking for people to organize this, so please contact ChristopheFergeau and/or VincentUntz if you're interested!

Saturday Evening

We organize a GNOME event in a bar on Saturday evening. Like last year, it will happen at « La Bécasse » where there is a great collection of Belgian beers, particularly lambic, gueuze, and kriek. There will be more details available at the GNOME booth.

Questions:

• Is smoking allowed?

No, smoking is prohibited in the whole bar.

• When can I arrive?

We have the first floor booked for us from 20 to 00:30 but you can probably arrive a bit earlier if you want to.

• Where are you guys?

We have the whole first floor for us, the stairs are on the left when you enter into the bar.

• Where are the beers?

To make things easier, beers have to be ordered and paid at the bar on the ground floor.

• What should I drink?

I strongly suggest you to try the "Lambic Doux" and "Lambic Blanc" which you can find only in this bar! It's served in big jugs so you can order a big one for a bunch of people. Speaking of ordering, it would be nice to try to group orders as much as possible to make the life of the waiters easier.

• Wow, these beers are awesome and now I'm drunk and hungry!

Don't panic, the bar is just in front of one the best french fries place of Brussels: Tabora.

• How do I get back to my Hotel or the place where I'm staying after?

Fortunately the bar is right near the starting point of all the night bus in Brussels, called the Noctis network, these runs from 0.15 a.m to 3 a.m. For the lists of buses or a plan, see http://www.stib.be/noctis.html?l=en

Alternatively you can take a taxis, there are plenty in the center of Brussels so it's easy to find one.

• Oh, I know "La Bécasse" it's like 2 minutes from the ULB!

No, it's not! There is two bar called "La Bécasse" in Brussels; the one where we'll be Saturday night is in the city center, NOT the one close to the ULB/FOSDEM
