Dear FOSDEM stand holders,
This email contains a lot of practical information, please read it until the end.
Location -------- You will be located in the K building, on the first floor.
Attached (Kniv1_stands.jpg) is an image of the ground plan. Note that this is just a draft; the scale of the tables is an estimate and the spacing between stands is somewhat arbitrary.
We've assigned the stand places as such: '''Group A''' 1. KDE 2. KDE 3. QT 4. Gnome 5. Gnome 6. CentOS 7. CentOS 8. Mageia 9. Ubuntu 10. Fedora 11. Fedora '''Group B''' 1. openSuse 2. openSuse 3. debian 4. debian 5. ownCloud 6. oVirt 7. GlusterFS 8. Xen.org '''Group C''' 1. FSFe 2. FSFe 3. FSFe 4. Mozilla 5. Mozilla 6. Libre Graphics Magazine 7. OpenStreetMap 8. Ca-cert 9. Ca-cert
If you would prefer to be closer to another stand, or if you have any other questions or requests just contact us!
Shipping -------- A number of people have been asking for a shipping address. I'm afraid we don't have any presence on the campus except for during FOSDEM, so we can not provide you with a shipping address.
Please try to make your own shipping arrangements, but should you really really have no other option then do mail us.
Timings ------- Build-up can start from 9:00 on Saturday. Visitors will start passing by slowly around 10-11, it will be at full speed by 13:00 (end of keynotes).
There is an overnight storage room in the H and K building. You can also leave stuff in the building overnight (buildings close), but we can not 'guard' the hallways on Sunday morning. We can also not provide any insurance or take responsibility in case of damage or theft. We do have security staff on campus at all times.
Sunday starts around 9:00-10:00 and the tear-down starts at 18:00. By 19:00 the latest you should have cleared out so we can start cleaning.
Varia ----- We provide a limited number of table-cloths, but you are more than welcome to provide any on your own, especially if you have something like a banner for your project.
We will provide you with power sockets (*) but if you have a couple of extension cables, we recommend you do bring them along if possible.
(*) note that Belgium uses type E sockets: http://users.telenet.be/worldstandards/electricity.htm#plugs_e If you need any adapters, make sure to bring them along as we cannot provide you with any ourselves.
High-speed Internet uplink will be provided by means of WiFi everywhere. If you have a device that requires a wired ethernet connection you should take a bridge device with you.
If you have any further questions, please contact us at stands@fosdem.org
Thank you for your participation and see you in Brussels soon : )
Kind regards, The FOSDEM Team
