Second, the address published on the web site does not work properly in Google maps. If you simply cut + paste the venue information, you get poor results. I had lunch with a gentleman who took the metro to the Erasme stop and lost several hours figuring out how to get to FOSDEM. If I look here: http://www.ulb.ac.be/campus/solbosch/solbosch.html (or on the English equivalent), the postal code is prefixed with a B- (so B-1050). Perhaps that's the problem; perhaps Google needs to be corrected. I thought I'd mention it regardless.
I dont know what happened, because is not my first year, but i got lost as well.
Actually, I met people looking for fosdem at erasmu station on saturday. On sunday I overheard a few guys saying they got lost as well.
I brought the point saved from home and I recall entering the coordinates directly in google maps. When I rechecked the coordinates on saturday on fosdem it gave me the right campus...
Maybe i didnt entered the coordinates the time that I _actually_ saved the point... or maybe we are just the 1% who always get lost. With so many people, there always have to be a bunch ;) Who knows... at least i wasnt the only one x)
To add some extra feedback, is worth pointing out in the transportation page that tram 25 does not go up to fosdem on sunday... But you can still take it (to go back as well) walking a few blocks :)
a map of fosdem in the android app would be cool as well
PS: I should had suspect something fishy was going on when google gave me directions... If the Metro actually had an station on fosdem why did I took it any other year... _______________________________________________ FOSDEM mailing list FOSDEM@lists.fosdem.org https://lists.fosdem.org/listinfo/fosdem
I also almost fell for the Erasmus trick on Sunday morning. -- Sent from my Replicant phone with K-9 Mail.
