Thanks and improvement
by Pander 06 Feb '18

Hi all, First: thank you for another great FOSDEM! As a suggestion, I would like more coffee and food trucks. The lines are sooo long. If they are shorter, for sure many people would have spend more on coffee and food. Not only because of less waiting in the cold, but also not to miss any talks. For sure some coffee and food trucks would be interested to set up camp at FOSDEM 2019. Preferably ones that offer contactless payments. Best, Pander

First keysigning? Forget to print list?
by Justin W. Flory 04 Feb '18

04 Feb '18

Hi, I created a Google Sheet list of all keysigning participants and two columns to quickly enter someone's fingerprint and ID confirmation. Feel free to save your own copy. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JKlYmLYu0SSmvIWUzcvLbCkef7ZW2OkycpS… I was already traveling when the original list was sent and did not have access to a printer. I made this to preserve my sanity, and thought someone else may also find it useful, especially if it's your first keysigning or you simply forgot to print. Hope this helps. See you all in 20 minutes. -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

Hey, If anyone has an HDMI and/or display power cable that we could use for our GitMate/coala stand they would be rewarded by a token of eternal gratitude (see it as a kind of cryptocurrency with immense personal value) :) Stupid me forgot those :/ Greetings from GitMate.io :) Lasse

Missing laptop charger
by James 03 Feb '18

03 Feb '18

Dear FOSDEM, A friend of mine (in cc) is here for his first FOSDEM! He has a mac laptop and forgot his charger. Unfortunately my X220 charger is not compatible. (Grumble, grumble, standards.) Does someone have a charger that they can lend him for an hour or so to top up his iMachine? He has the magnetic receptacle kind. Thanks, James @purpleidea
