[UPDATE] FOSDEM

[Daniel Gruno <hu...@apache.org>]

A short but important update here:

We have been granted a 2-table stand (the biggest they could offer) at
FOSDEM to represent the ASF and its projects. The exact location is yet
to be determined, but I'm guessing it's in the K building as usual.

As we'll have several projects to showcase this time around, we will
have to figure out some sort of rotation, in which the ASF itself has
one table at all times, and $project has the other table for N hours at
a time.

This would be an excellent time for projects who wish to be present at
FOSDEM to put themselves on the list at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COMDEV/FOSDEM+2016

I'll work with Melissa and Sally to get the banners and swag ready ASAP.

With regards,
Daniel.

I am tentatively planning to go. Also need access to wiki (andrus at objectstyle dot org). I can help at the booth part-time.

Great news!

On the last day of ApacheCon EU 2015 I took, by request of Melissa, some
remaining and small booth items for the FOSDEM event home with me as I
already planned to attend the event. I will take these along.

Best regards,

Pierre

My experience has always been that if you don't assign/schedule hours,
then it'll end up being one or two people that staff the entire event,
with everyone else assuming someone else had it covered. And, yes, that
has happened to me at FOSDEM as much as anywhere else. There's always 6
other places to be, and if someone isn't on a schedule, they have
nothing to tie them to it.

+1 to the above. I think the table tracking projects that plan to
have 'office hours' in the booth will have to have a date/time
column once we get close to the event.

Btw, from planning perspective, I'd a week before the event
is when we try to plan when folks expect to be at the ASF booth.

Sounds reasonable?

Thanks,
Roman.

Good news! The OpenOffice booth request (which had been sent as a 
backup, with the explicit indication that it should be ignored if the 
ASF one was approved) was merged with this one.

FOSDEM is a bit chaotic (in a good sense) by nature, so I don't think we 
need to really allocate hours to projects. If you wish, sure we can; but 
we might also be happy being there as one group, that's the fun part of it.

I still need write access to that page despite several requests (even in 
this same thread). If access is problematic (user pescetti, mail my 
@apache.org mail) and a text-based version of the page is available, I 
can submit patches, but I have no idea how it can work for Confluence.

Regards,
   Andrea.

Used to be able to edit the wiki but apparently not any more.

Could anybody please grant the permission and I will update the page about
Zeppelin envolvement.

I'll be glad help out as well as to bring some project-related swag to the
table.

I'm personally staying at the Grand Place Hilton, but that's mainly
because I had some free nights saved up from a rather expensive trip to
Japan recently.

There are some offers on the FOSDEM web site (fosdem.org) but generally,
there are plenty of cheap hotels/hostels/B&Bs around the central station
area or near the university. Prices range from €30/night to ...well..more ;)

No, we don't have a discount, although rooms tend to be available at
every point on the budget scale.

I will mention, however, that I booked about a month ago and rooms were
already hard to find.

Also, for those who haven't been to FOSDEM before, be aware that
although the event is at the University, most people tend to stay in the
area around Grand Place, near Central Station, because that's where all
of the evening events tend to be. If you get a room near the conference
venue, you'll be sad and lonely in the evenings.

Hi

That's great news. I've volunteered to help out but dont have write 
access to that wiki to update the details.

On a practical note - where do people stay? Do we have an ASF hotel or 
discount somewhere for accommodation?
