FYI -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Practical information regarding FOSDEM stands Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2014 21:50:52 +0000 From: FOSDEM Stands Team <stands at fosdem.org> To: Fabian <arrfab at centos.org> Dear Fabian, This email contains a lot of practical information. Please read it completely. Location -------- You will be located on the ground floor of the K building, in group A. Attached 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 follows: K building, ground floor, group A 1. KDE 2. KDE 3. GNOME 4. GNOME 5. Enlightenment 6. CentOS 7. CentOS 8. Mageia 9. OpenMandriva 10. Fedora 11. Fedora Shipping -------- Do not under any circumstances ship anything directly to ULB or to the mail address of FOSDEM. We have no storage space in either location and your shipment is more than likely to be lost if you send it there. If there are things you need to ship ahead, and there is really no possibility to arrange with someone local to receive your shipment, contact us, and we will see what we can do. We will not accept any shipments that we have not agreed on beforehand. Timing ------- Build-up starts from 9:00 on Saturday. Visitors will start arriving around 10-11, and you can expect it to be properly busy by 13:00 (end of the keynotes). The Saturday program ends at 19:00; you're expected to be out of the building at that time. For the night between Saturday and Sunday, there are overnight storage rooms in the H and K buildings. You can also leave stuff at your stand overnight; the buildings will be closed overnight, but we cannot guard the hallways on Sunday morning. We also cannot 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 teardown starts at 17:00. All stand holders are expected to help clean up the area around their stand, and the tables and table cloths should be returned to the collection point by the stand holders. Your stand area should be cleared and cleaned up and the tables returned to the collection point by 17:30. Various ------- We provide a 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 a power socket. If you require more than one, please bring extension cables. Note that Belgium uses type E sockets: http://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity/plugs-and-sockets/ If you need any adapters, make sure to bring them along. High-speed Internet uplink will be provided by means of WiFi everywhere. If you have a device that requires a wired ethernet connection, bring a bridge device with you. If you have any further questions, please contact us at stands at fosdem.org Thank you for your participation and see you in Brussels soon! Kind regards, Wynke. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
