So, looks like a bunch of Arch devs and users are coming to fosdem this year. [1]

let's talk meetups! here are 3 ideas:

* friday afternoon: some guys will do some sightseeing. Since even those who arrive around noon / early afternoon will arrive at different moments, maybe let's not try to hard to get everybody together yet at this point. Tom and Pierre, I'll let you decide on this one. You'll be earliest, maybe you don't want to waste your time at this point meeting up with various folks as they arrive at different times. although, since the warandepark is near our hotel, maybe you could meet up with interested people there (if any?), just a thought

* friday evening: meetup downtown @ 7PM in front of TBD (looking for a place near "grand place" where one can shelter should it start to rain). We'll go out for dinner and afterwards drinks. We'll visit the [http://fosdem.org/2012/beerevent FOSDEM beer event] but it's usually insanely overcrowded so we'll probably go somewhere else.

maye be to getting to know each other the first evening this is the better opportunity, in a relax atmosphere, drinking something and do some daydreaming 'bout Arch. ;)

* saturday evening: meetup at the conference @ 7:15PM (last talks end at 7PM) @ [http://fosdem.org/2012/schedule/room/h1301 Cross Distribution Devroom H.1301. no sure yet what to do. another drinks/dinner?

Romain S. got a pretty nice idea in my opinion in the last thread ([arch-events] fosdem 2012 attendance) to do some Arch Hacking? Like Arch-ARM on dockstars, SheevaPlugs, etc. so a bit more Hardware orientated, but always with Arch? Other hacks not excluded. ;) What you think of that?! Romain? J.

Not my main interest, but you are free to organize something like that. I know FOSDEM used to have "hacker rooms" which you can use for ad-hoc hacking meetups like this, they probably still have these.

oops. it seems the "hacker rooms" are meant for quietly checking your mail and such. To do what you want, you'll need to find a place where there's no talk going on and where you're not disturbing anyone. I see the embedded devroom has some timeslots without a talk going on, so that could work. although they are still filling up the schedule, so ... Dieter

What about visiting the hackerspace in Brussels for about 2 hours and then going to have dinner/drinks afterwards on Saturday evening?

Dieter, are you fine with this idea? It would suit everyone's need.

I'm fine with you doing whatever you want. I speak only for myself of course, but I usually stay at the conference until the last talks (7PM). Consider that the hackerspace is pretty much the other side of brussels, so I don't think there's time for that (at least not on my personal agenda). If you want to eat at 7PM that means you'd need to leave fosdem at about 4PM. If you want to visit the hackerspace, maybe friday afternoon is a better time.

Guys, if you would like to dine together on friday and/or saturday evening (both around 7PM), please add that information to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/FOSDEM#Attendees (also mention if you have specific requirements like vegetarian or kosher or whatever) Please do this during the next few days.

We'll probably be with a bunch of people, if so I will try to make a reservation somewhere.

alright thanks guys. We'll have dinner in the restaurant bigmama on saturday or friday evening (depending on what I can reserve), the other day we'll do something like pizzahut or whatever. Do I see this correctly that Tom and Thomas don't want to dine with us on saturday evening? This must be a mistake :) Please let me know quickly because I want to make the reservation!

I am pretty sure I want to eat on Saturday evening! If you don't consider me in your reservation, I'll eat you first and then take your place!

Dieter _______________________________________________ arch-events mailing list arch-events@archlinux.org http://mailman.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch-events dard side of the spoon I'm also in for eating on friday evening, if it is possible reserve for 2 more. Forgot to read my mail ;-)

Finally I've added myself too. If I'm too late, my bad but I'll join you then after dinner for sure then. @Dieter: Let us know if you changed the reservation or not. In the latter case, under what name did you reserve the table? We could ask the restaurant for some more seats then. Cheers, Romain

I've updated the attendees list and added the ByteNight party [0]. If you want to enjoy some 8-bit music while having some food & drinks, update the list and let's go together to that location (36 min with the public transport and some little walk).

@Dieter:

Bernhard and I will try to come to bigmama on fr 7PM, but I'm not sure, if we can make it in time. (I don't know, when our bus will arrive.)
