FOSDEM14

The car parking space at FOSDEM is completely full. Please do not come onsite looking for parking spots, it's complete chaos. We suggest to leave your car in the Parking Sablon-Polaert, from there take tram 94, direction Musée du Tram, then get off at stop ULB.

For the first time this year, the FOSDEM wireless network will be IPv6-only.

FOSDEM is a unique opportunity to confront thousands of developers with an IPv6-only reality. We are hopeful that making our default network IPv6-only will encourage people to fix bugs in applications and devices.

The FOSDEM network has NAT64 and DNS64 transition measures in place for communicating with the legacy internet. For those who need it, the FOSDEM-dualstack wireless network will provide the same dual stack connectivity we offered on FOSDEM in previous years.

• FOSDEM: IPv6-only, provides NAT64 and DNS64. Recursive DNS resolvers announced with RA and DHCPv6. If you need to configure DNS manually, use 2001:67c:1810:f056::2 and 2001:41d0:2:1959:21c:c0ff:fe88:6f58
• FOSDEM-v6: Identical to FOSDEM! Should FOSDEM need to revert to dual stack for any reason (hopefully not), this network will remain available as IPv6-only.
• FOSDEM-dualstack: provides native IPv6 and legacy IP connectivity. No DNS64.

The venue for the keysigning will be the same as last year: the foyer on the second floor of the U building. Follow the signs for Chavanne. We start at 14:00 sharp on Sunday. Be on time and come prepared!

See the keysigning page for more information.

The beer event will happen at the usual place, Delirium Cafe, from 18:00(ish) onwards. Come join your fellow hackers for a drink!

Arriving early is advised; the venue fills up quickly. If Delirium is full, please try the other bars in the side street, they take tokens as well.

Speaking of tokens: Buy beer tokens at the ground floor of Delirium for €3 each. Exact change and buying in increments of 5 or 10 would be highly appreciated! If you are in a group, pool your money and have one person buy for all of you. This saves time for both you and us.

More info.

See you there!

PS. Drink wisely, Belgian beers are stronger than you might be used too :)
