[14:40] czajkowski: also, that's any brussels airport [14:40] which one is most close? [14:40] there is only one real Brussels airport [14:40] but there is also the Charleroi airport which often calls itself Brussels South [14:41] paultag: skycsanner is how I find all flights easily [14:41] if I can get a flight and spend less then 1,000 USD, I'll see about it :) [14:41] and searchs all the flight combinations :) [14:41] paultag: it's so doable!

[14:41] I need to find some floor to sleep on, hotels are going to be crazy :) [14:42] paultag: loads of choice [14:42] lots of people share [14:42] and also so many deals going on [14:42] know of one crowd who booked an apt for 3 days for as much as we paid for a hotel and they ahd 4 in the apt [14:42] paultag: poke the debian channel and list [14:42] hotels don't have to be expensive in Brussels, but the cheap ones will be full if you wait to long ;) [14:42] yeah, I will [14:42] too long [14:43] I'll find a DD's couch to sleep on or something. If I end up going :) [14:44] paultag: http://www.venere.com/belgium/brussels/#p|1;f:o|price-t|all-z|all_areas-r|r6-c|all_rate $63 [14:44] :) [14:44] paultag: the cross distro devrooms at FOSDEM are run by a DD (Wouter Verhelst) [14:44] oh sure, wouter [14:45] I'll see if I can't hash out some deets [14:45] paultag: it wuld be cool to finally meet you [14:46] it's also a fantastic conference [14:46] totally :) [14:46] trying to decide to submit a talk [14:46] you should! [14:46] or take part in another panel discussion [14:46] that was good [14:49] I also have some place for people to sleep (at my uncle & aunt's place just outside of Brussels) that I usually use for some Ubuntu booth volunteers, but maybe we can fit one more in there too if you don't find a DD's place to sleep (might need a sleeping bag though) ☺ [14:49] I've slept in far worse places closer to home :) [14:49] thanks, JanC, czajkowski :) [14:50] <-- conf call [14:51] also, if you come, try to be in Brussels on Friday, so that you don't miss the Friday night pre-FOSDEM beer event ☺ [14:51] ooh, I like beer :) [14:53] just take care not to drink too much of it (following talks with a hangover is a bit hard...) [14:54] I've never made it through a conf without having a hangover on days 2 & 3 :) [15:04] paultag: BTW, if you want to ask questions about FOSDEM, there is also #fosdem (and they have a ML too, which is sometimes used by people who are looking to share a hotel room and such) [15:05] JanC: you rock, thanks :) === h00k is now known as Captainh00k === khildin_ is now known as khildin
