The online registration for LPI exams at FOSDEM has now been closed.

If interested in having a LPIC-1/2/3 or Ubuntu certification at a discounted rate at FOSDEM, you may still apply on site.
Every exam session lasts 1.5 hours with a break of 30min in between, which is the best moment to go to Guillissen (in the U building) and register.

Note that the 1st session on Saturday is already fully booked.

Don't forget! Tonight, Friday 22 February 2008, is the FOSDEM Pink Elephant beer event at the Delirium Café.

See the Friday Beer Event page for practical information or call Philip if you manage to lose your way.

Please note that the beer event is taking place at the Delirium Café. This is not the same place as previous years!

Some visitors organize a free beer event. Here's a quote from their site:
When?
Brussels, Saturday 23 February from 9pm (21h).
What, exactly?
A party held at the iMatix HotSpot, a warehouse on the wrong side of town that's been the scene of many heavy parties over the years. We invite all FOSDEM attendees to come and enjoy.
The program includes live West African music and a great lineup of DJs. Belgian beer, snacks, and other drinks, compliments of iMatix. We love free software, and we love free beer!

Breakfast

Breakfast will be available on Saturday and Sunday from 08:30 at a very reasonable price. Sipping on a nice cup of coffee with a fresh croissant or pastry with butter/raisins/chocolate. Can you imagine a better start of the day?

Lunch

Sandwiches, French fries or hamburgers: You will be fed!

The French fries and hamburger stand will be right in front of Janson and ready to go around 11:00-11:30. A selection of sandwiches can be purchased at the bar. Simply follow the arrows (or your nose) if you're not quite sure where it is.

Dinner

FOSDEM takes place in Brussels so there are plenty of restaurants around, at walking distance.

Beverages

Coffee, beer, water and soft drinks can be purchased at the bar. Please respect the environment and return all glass bottles when they are empty.

Snacks

Feel like snacking? Crave for a candy bar or a bag of potato chips? We've got just what you need at the bar.
