Such a pity. I enjoyed the presentations as well as the audience last year
(wow, are ALL those people fiddling with my phone as well :-) )

Last FOSDEM was my first, making me not too familiar with the organisation of
the event. I did notice that though "we" occupied a couple of buildings, others
were not in use. Would it be an option to organize a shadow-event nearby? Is
one of us living near there? Perhaps the Brussel Hackerspace is willing to
provide room outside FOSDEM-hours? It shouldn't be too far from the main FOSDEM
event, so there's at least a remote chance of pulling some not-OM-visitors to
the "event". If there's interest in organizing something like that, I volunteer
to make phonecalls or send mails after receiving some pointers where to look
for room.

Well, it's FOS-, not FOHWDEM. I hope it will shift towards open hardware more
and more (there were the RepRap, Arduino and Beagleboard besides OM, perhaps
others I didn't notice)
