FOSDEM 2012 (Brussels, February 4th-5th)
On this page we're planning our trip to FOSDEM 2012.
Attendees
The event takes place on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th of February, but it's a good advice to arrive on Friday (to attend the beer event and have pre-FOSDEM chats with all kinds of people) and (depending on how far you have to travel) leave on Monday.

Places to Stay
Below are possible hotels we could stay at. Of course there's also youth hostels and opportunities to do couch surfing. But staying somewhere as a group can be a lot of fun, makes socialising easy and helps finding the venue etc.

We've stayed here twice. It
's cheap (approx. 60€ per person per weekend), includes breakfast, free WiFi, twin and triple rooms, is at 10 minutes walking distance to the city centre, and the tram from/to FOSDEM has a stop around the corner. —

A triple room is 330€ for 2 nights, that would be 110 per person. People staying until Monday would have to pay 165€ if staying in a triple room. —

Christoph says it is great and has great breakfast. It is not as close to the city centre as some of the alternatives. A twin room is 170€ for 2 nights, so 85€ per person. There are no triple rooms. —

Appears to be quite cheap, triple room is 160€ for 2 nights, which makes around 55€ per person. It's also quite central but maybe the standard is lower than in the other hotels. —
