Hi all, there could be more information about parking. Especially if you have a camper van or motor home. So some hints. -If you arrive after 22:00 everything will be closed. No way to enter the car park -If you arrive to late during the day it'll be full and closed as well -There are no parking fees down in Av. Uruguay. Thus possible to stay there over night. Tram 94 is close. -Parking and even staying in the car over night is OK for 24h -Old Diesel cars are not allowed in the city but Camper vans/motor homes are -Entering the car park with such a car and "camp" there might raise questions. There was nobody telling me off or something though. Politness and or being a volunteer might help -I have no idea about parking fees. I just saw that you have to pay everywhere close to ULB and then there were other areas where parking was free of charge I know it is next to impossible to solve it but very often the rooms were to full or even closed due to too many people. I missed three or four interesting talks because of that. And yeah, there could be more food trucks! Cheers, Oliver
If you can't get into the room, technology is there to the rescue nowadays: You can watch live video feeds and a few days later you can watch the ones you missed, because there are so many at the same time. Jo 2018-02-06 17:46 GMT+01:00 Oliver Hoffmann <oh@dom.de>:

And if you really want to attend a talk in person, come one session earlier if you are able to. That way you're almost sure you will get in.

That's what I tried. Most of the time impossible as there is so much going on. I managed to be at the ansible one on Sunday 10 minutes early. Still full. I'll be better prepared next time as that was my first time at fosdem. Cheers, Oliver On 6 February 2018 21:54:03 CET, geoffreydebelie <geoffreydebelie@zoho.com> wrote:

-If you arrive after 22:00 everything will be closed. No way to enter
the car park
-If you arrive to late during the day it'll be full and closed as well
-There are no parking fees down in Av. Uruguay. Thus possible to stay

-Parking and even staying in the car over night is OK for 24h
-Old Diesel cars are not allowed in the city but Camper vans/motor

Politness and or being a volunteer might help
-I have no idea about parking fees. I just saw that you have to pay

was free of charge
I know it is next to impossible to solve it but very often the rooms
were to full or even closed due to too many people. I missed three or
four interesting talks because of that.
And yeah, there could be more food trucks!

I know. It's just a difference to actually be there or watch it on a screen. I'll have a look at the videos soon though. Thanks, Oliver On 6 February 2018 21:17:26 CET, Jo <winfixit@gmail.com> wrote:
