XMPP Summit - 2018-01-30

hm, I'll arrive at 9:30 in brussels midi. Tight schedule i guess :D

vanitasvitae: I'll be even later (10:10). I'll check whether you're still busy getting a ticket when I arrive.

Ah, midi. 🚉

I'll should be 1 feb, 9.30 at the airport but I guess I will go first check in and then back to the cisco

alameyo, I'd bring your suitcase to Cisco, and check in your hotel later.

the airport and cisco are really close - it's kind of a waste to first travel to the hotel and then back

indeed

I have to check in until 18.00 as far I know

I dunno if I will be on time considering later dinner

alameyo: You'll probably be in time for that, but I suggest that you call your hotel and explain that you might arrive a bit later than 18:00

if you tell them, they will simply hold the room for you at no extra charge

ok. I will try

ralphm and I will arrive somewhere between 9 and 10. Depends on traffic, really.

Oh, for the people who are not Belgium here is my usual rant: Bruxelles-Midi (French) is the same as Brussel-Zuid (Dutch) and this is the main station and Bruxelles-Central = Brussel-Centraal is not the main station, even though it sounds like it.

SaltyBones: is Uber a feasible mode of transportation in Brussels?

Hm, I don't know I never tried it.

that's what I hear from each Belgian that I ask :)

to be honest, I wouldn't know about Uber in the Netherlands either :)_

I will try to ask around today. ;)

> Oh, for the people who are not Belgium here is my usual rant: Bruxelles-Midi (French) is the same as Brussel-Zuid (Dutch) and this is the main station and Bruxelles-Central = Brussel-Centraal is not the main station, even though it sounds like it. That confused me sooo much the first time...

Odd 19th century French, where Le Midi was a more accepted term for the south.

We still say « le Midi » to talk about the south of France. ^^

Link Mauve: but only in that context, right?

I mean, specifically the south of France.

Yes.

taking off for Brussels; I'll be there all day tomorrow if anyone wants to get food or walk around and do the touristy thing or something.

Have a nice trip!
