dear FOSDEM visitors if you plan to come to FOSDEM (very soon now) and are still looking for interesting & computer related things to do, you can consider visiting NAM-IP, a recent computer museum near Namur (about 50km South of Brussels) NAM stands for "Numerical Artifact Museum" but is close to name of the hosting city featuring a rare Hollerith tabulator (1890), Bull mecanography, mainframes from the 60's (temporary exposition) and computer evolution until now warning for us, software guys: no historical software running in the current exhibitions (some mecanography demo possible though) there are also some artefacts related to Multics website: http://www.nam-ip.be/ opening hours & how to reach: http://www.nam-ip.be/NAM-IP-InfPrat.html website is only French and Dutch but English booklets are available with QR code scanning guided tours may also be organised (contact animation@nam-ip.be or me to see if possible) I also plan to attend FOSDEM (the history track among others ;--) Happy FOSDEM for those attending (physically or remotely) !
