With about four weeks to go before FOSDEM, everyone should by now probably be thinking about travel arrangements and such. While doing so, remember to keep in mind that there will again be beer on the Friday evening before FOSDEM.
If my counting is correct, this will be the tenth "published" edition of this wildly popular pre-FOSDEM tradition.
Like last year, we're meeting at the Delirium CafÊ in the centre of Brussels near the Grand'Place. And yes: there will be some free beer again too this year.
Be there. :-)

We (Beagleboard) would like to ship some equipment to the event location ahead of time. Is this possible, and if yes, what address shall we use?

It is not possible for the FOSDEM organization to accept shipments on behalf of exhibitors (or anyone else for that matter) prior to the event. FOSDEM is already a logistics nightmare without that complication.
Please also do not ship stuff to the venue on Friday under the assumption that FOSDEM staff will be happy to sign for it. We've had some groups take that approach in previous years and it's a pain to accept the shipments, store them securely and ultimately ensure that they reach the right people on Saturday.
We're an open source conference, not a parcel service.
Having said that: perhaps someone subscribed to this list with spare storage space (perhaps at their place of work) could get in touch with you out of band to arrange something.

We're just ordering this year's tshirts (and they will look at least as nice as last year!) and it strikes me that the geek demographic seems to be getting smaller and smaller from year to year. The bulk of our tshirts are currently L and M where they used to be XL and XXL.
Before you ask: by popular demand there will be two sizes of girl-shaped tshirts this year. We're still working from precious little statistical data on these so we can't guarantee we won't run out of them before the end of the weekend. Show up early I say, and even if they're gone let the infodesk know you'd like one so we have better numbers for next year.
Having said that: we do get a number of requests for some larger tshirts (3XL and above) every year. When I asked our printer about these a couple of years ago they could not source them (easily) in small numbers. I'd like to try and do some again this year, but need a rough indication of how many we'd need.
If you're interested in a larger tshirt, please unicast me an email. I can't promise we'll be able to get larger tshirts this year, but if there is sufficient interest it may be possible.
FOSDEM: catering to geeks of all shapes and sizes (or trying to)!

Another alternative would be to contact your hotel and see if they would be willing to accept a shipment for you.

Interesting, a study at OLS a few years ago showed a consistent change in the other direction...
Hum ... perhaps it's a cyclical thing and we're going to find ourselves stuck with lots of M and L and out of XL and XXL before Saturday night? Oh no! :-)
It's a losing battle. ;-)
