We are pleased to announce that the first video recordings of FOSDEM 2012 have been uploaded to our master server; they should be available shortly as our mirrors synchronize with our main server. You can browse the contents through video.fosdem.org.

Please note that this is only the first batch; there are many more videos to come. We will make an announcement when all videos have been uploaded; meanwhile, please bear with us as we continue with transcoding and fixing up of the remaining videos.

Cold weather

The Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium is predicting exceptionally cold weather for Saturday and Sunday. As it will be cold outside, while possibly very warm in some devrooms, make sure your clothing has multiple layers. This way, you won't freeze to death or sweat like a pig. Hopefully.

Mobile schedule apps

Ways to have the schedule with you at all times, without wasting trees:

Mobile site

http://m.fosdem.org

The online mobile schedule uses jQueryMobile 1.0a2 and hence supports all the platforms jQM does. It is pretty hefty (a bit over 600kb in size) but includes everything in that single URL, except the details about speakers and talks that are downloaded from the m.fosdem.org site when consulted.

Betagroup Coworking invitation

there have been some requests from people attending FOSDEM that would like to go to the Betagroup Coworking to work on Friday and Monday. So they thought that it would be a good idea to host as many partcipants as they could... for
free!

Please see details and signup info here:
http://coworking.betagroup.be/hosting-the-fosdem-participants/ Space is limited and signup will be disabled when they reach their limit.

The FOSDEM venue grows

woutersimons — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 19:15:37 +0000

This year the ULB has kindly offered us the use of an additional new building on their campus. It's the K building and it's located on the other side of the parking from the Janson Lecture hall.

Meeting Rooms

loki — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 22:07:30 +0000

This year, we will provide two meeting rooms (aka "BoF rooms") in the AW building. The idea here is that they are provided for unplanned or, rather, spontaneously planned and brief meetups.
