by Wouter Simons 26 Jan '12

26 Jan '12

HI All Every year we have requests of where to obtain a sim card for mobile data while in belgium We've talked to a cellphone operator (mobile-vikings) and they have agreed to ship sim cards to hotels so they will be waiting for you when you arrive there they've promised to make some extra efforts for FOSDEM visitors. SO if you need a mobile SIM please contact mobile vikings at https://mobilevikings.com/en/ and tell them to ship the sim to your hotel Kind regards Wouter Simons

Never thought we'd manage to do that, but this year we've broken the next barrier, or frontier if you prefer ;) We're currently at 401 sessions on the schedule, and there are still a few ones missing. That's a record :) cheers -- Pascal Bleser <loki(a)fosdem.org> http://fosdem.org/ FOSDEM 2012 ::: 4 + 5 February 2012 in Brussels, Belgium Free and Opensource Software Developers European Meeting
