Re: Debian event pre FOSDEM?
Hi Holger, I'm not sure I got back to you on this mail... The Kubernetes team is having some events in the hackerspace too in the evening (18:30 until 23:00). Do you think you will be finished at that point, or would we be better setting up a second spot for them to be able to have their workshops too? What form factor will your debconf be in? Will you do small hackathons, or will it be more in a presentation style form factor? Do you already have an idea of the size of the group you'll be expecting? You asked for the opening hours of Antidote (the restaurant at ground floor) and the climbing wall. If you order for more than 5 persons, I would recommend (at both places) to announce it (unless you enjoy the place, and are not on a tight schedule) Antidote: * Sunday Closed * Monday 9am–6pm * Tuesday 9am–6pm * Wednesday 9am–6pm * Thursday 9am–12am * Friday 9am–12am * Saturday Closed * Phone: +32 473 24 01 23 Petit Île (climbing wall): * Sunday 10am–8pm * Monday 12–11pm * Tuesday 12–11pm * Wednesday 12–11pm * Thursday 12–11pm * Friday 12–11pm * Saturday 12–8pm * Phone: +32 491 95 12 48 On of us well be around regularly to help you with practical issues.

It would strongly surprise me if I wouldn't get permission to use one to lock up your video gear. Sleeping is a tough issue... The building nor hackerspace are insured for overnighting. So whatever you do, do it wisely. As far as I know, there are no showers in our building. There might be one at the climbing wall (that's on the other side of the building), would have to ask for that. We do have a kitchenette with hot water. We've got a pretty solid network- and internet connection, so I think internal and external traffic shouldn't pose any problems for sending out a video stream. Hope to be seeing you in January, Jurgen P.S. wherever you end up... you're certainly invited for Bytenight :)

Assuming this offer still stands, I believe a group of Debian enthusiasts would like to come by from Wednesday to Friday before FOSDEM. Do you think that would be possible so that we can "officially" start planning this? I suppose that would mean creating a wiki page and collecting info who will be attending so that we all have a better idea what will be happening there. Assuming that FOSDEM attracts *many* Debian developers (more than 100?) I'd expect at least 23 people showing up on Wednesday (though wouldn't be surprised about less, it's a work week after all) and maybe 42 on Friday... and as I remember the space from this FOSDEM I think even 42+23 people would fit. What do you think, can we, shall we, do this? -- cheers, Holger --- holger@(debian|reproducible-builds|layer-acht).org PGP fingerprint: B8BF 5413 7B09 D35C F026 FE9D 091A B856 069A AA1C signature.asc Description: PGP signature
