Hi,

apologies for my delay in responding. I will be available all day 
Friday, so I'd suggest we start earlier (I'm coming to Brussels on the 
Thursday). I should have wifi access in the Hotel Barry. Could we meet 
in the morning, maybe at the Hotel Barry? 
I'm not sure yet how early I'll be able to show up, but I'll post as 
soon as I know.


I'll be in Brussels from 12h on. So I'd either suggest meeting at Hotel 
Barry at 12:30, or that we meet at Brussels Centraal train station, (my 
train from Luxembourg arrives 11:47), grab some food, and move over to 
Hotel Barry to hack on BrandWeg afterwards, until 5pm, and then to move 
over to BXL.

Hi,

well the hotel barry is pretty (very) basic but the wifi seems ok (just
used it for a skype conversation without any noticeable break up). I'm
in room xx and my phone number is +44 xxx xxx . Is the centraal
train station the midi train station? If so, I should be able to find my
way there and loiter at about noon. I like to eat food too, so I'd
suggest we meet, eat and then hack.

Just FYI I have a few objectives that I'd like to work towards from the
hacking:
1) get a Jikes RVM build configuration that can work with BrandWeg
2) test ECJ and x10c with BrandWeg
3) look at making the java.math configuration of BrandWeg pluggable
between the Classpath and OpenJDK versions (a couple of benchmarks hit
java.math code and it would be nice to rule it out as a source of
performance loss). I imagine this could spark some conversation on how
we track code in BrandWeg, acknowledgements, how to configure choices
like this.
4) think of any other problems like number 3

Regards,
Ian

OK. Rather than hunting each other on train stations (as it turns out 
that I'll be coming over by car with friends), I'd suggest that we meet 
at the Grand Place at 12:30, in front of the Cafe de BXL, and then 
decide where to move on to wrt to food, and hacking.

Hi,
I will be in Brussels at around 1pm and would like to join you for a
Brandweg hacking session.

The people in Brussel have a public wireless mesh-network like Freifunk
in Germany. Here is a map with some node locations:
http://boum.no-ip.com/gmap/gmap.php

If we meet in a hotel room, will be near such a node or is the room
sufficiently high?

I have a suitable wireless router as well as a 4quad antenna which I can
bring along.

I can also explain everybody who wants to hear it how public
mesh-networking works, just in case you want to start such a community
in your hometown. :D

Regards
Robert

 There are two easy options for locations:
 
 a) squatting in someone's hotel (rooms) for a few hours (mhm, wifi!)
 b) taking over a cafe downtown and doing the work there (mhm, waffles!)
 
 or a combination of both (wifi  waffles!).

Hi there,


I will arrive in Brussels around 17:00, could be around 1 hour or so
later.

 Should we meet at the BXL at Grand Place from 5pm on?

Sounds fine.

I'll be available for the hacking session, you girls and guys have just

Also, if it's a place with a wifi it's better, otherwise, I'll steal

I probably won't arrive before 19:00 on Friday, but I would like to meet
up at the BXL if people are still there around then.
