FOSDEM 2009 beer event
by Philip Paeps 30 Dec '08

30 Dec '08

Yes - there will be a beer event again at FOSDEM 2009. It will take place at the Delirium Café in Brussels like last year. I am currently still working out particulars with the Delirium management and working on some improvements to the beer distribution algorithm. Version 3.1 of the BDA will be a typical point-release - no major changes are expected. See also: http://fosdem.org/2009/beerevent - Philip -- Philip Paeps Please don't Cc me, I am philip(a)fosdem.org subscribed to the list. hundred-and-one symptoms of being an internet addict: 173.

LPI exams next year ?
by Vincent Panel 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

Hi, I've browsed the FOSDEM 2009 website and I haven't seen any mention of the LPI exams. Does the fact there's no entry in the menu of the website means "it's still unsure / under discussion" or "we are sure there won't be any exam next year" ? Thanks, Vincent
