SaltyBones
where can I find the program again?
-
intosi
https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Summit_22 IIRC
-
SaltyBones
Hm...we should decide on a time at which we meet at some point. :)
-
mathieui
it has been notified on list, at least
-
SouL
SaltyBones, check this out https://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/summit/2018-January/001882.html
-
SaltyBones
ah, thank you
-
intosi
I have updated the wiki page as well.
-
SamWhited
Thon EU is fancier than the central location… I am excited to have a red duck this time.
-
intosi
Excellent!
-
SouL
Red duck?
-
intosi
Your coding efficiency will be record high with an actual rubber duck.
-
Guus
Don't spoil the surprise!!
-
SamWhited
Guus: I was going to take a picture, but Conversations doesn't support 0382 so I guess I'll wait…
-
SamWhited
SouL: you'll see… (if you did the group reservation)
-
SamWhited
intosi: I still haven't finished my slides, so I will make good use of it.
-
intosi
Good, good.
-
SaltyBones
I think I have managed to move all my meetings and might actually be there tomorrow.
-
SaltyBones
I'm not sure why, but I find that surprising. :)
-
Guus
awesome, good to have you there!
-
SouL
SamWhited [09:55]: > Guus: I was going to take a picture, but Conversations doesn't support 0382 so I guess I'll wait… It has been always in my plans, I hope soon take a look at the code again
-
SamWhited
excellent!
-
SaltyBones
Can't 0382 functionality be emulated by posting a link?
-
SouL
SaltyBones, the idea is that clients that have inline image display, could hide that, for instance
-
SouL
Some clients parse the link and download the image to display it
-
SamWhited
Does anyone know off the top of their head if ING will change money if you're not a customer (I was so sad they sold their U.S. branch, now my bank doesn't work in Europe anymore :( )
-
Guus
As time is running out (apologies for the delay), I'm cross-posting this invitation for _you_ to attend the XSF Dinner 2018 in a couple of places. Please help me spread the word! If you're interested in joining us, please RSVP by fill out a short form at https://goo.gl/forms/vgzWXyiRo5ne43yX2 but do so today!
-
SamWhited
Guus: what day is the dinner? The form doesn't say.
-
SouL
SamWhited, in Thursday
-
SouL
I would say?
-
Guus
Thursday, yes
-
SamWhited
ooh, this is the place that had really good Escargot; excellent!
-
Guus
I have now added the date to the form, thanks Sam
-
SouL
on Thursday, not in Thursday... My english.. Hah :D
-
SouL
Form filled
-
SouL
Guus, could you check if you received my form? It's just that I haven't got any email back. If you can't right now (I understand, I'm hurrying myself) don't worry.
-
Guus
SouL: you'll have the roast chicken, amongst others.
-
mathieui
Guus, dinner choices are hard :(
-
Guus
mathieui: I like to challenge you. :)
-
jonasw
I’m hungry, that’s not fair
-
mathieui
that too
-
SouL
Guus, haha, great!
-
SouL
Yeah it's hard, since it's my first time I picked chicken, there are usually no surprises with chicken xD
-
mathieui
surprises in fancy restaurants are usually good
-
mathieui
except that one time in the US where all we’ve got was $80 fried chicken
-
jonasw
mathieui, mh, I’m sceptical
-
jonasw
but I’m also not attending, so I’ll shut up :)
-
vanitasvitae
Had to google translate most of the menu :D
-
Guus
I've provided french, english and dutch translations of the menu! That wasn't enough?!
-
vanitasvitae
:D I ddidnt know what "escargots" were. Now I know 😖
-
intosi
All of the menu? No, not all. Had to google Brésilienne :)
-
Guus
thatś the one that I didn find with certainty :)
-
intosi
Heh
-
vanitasvitae
Is it normal that the submit button has no visual feedback?
-
Guus
dunno?
-
intosi
It gave feedback to me.
-
intosi
New page confirming I had submitted the form, and a link to edit my response.
-
vanitasvitae
Guus did you receive my choice?
-
Guus
vanitasvitae: no.
-
Guus
did you miss a required question somehwere?
-
vanitasvitae
Ah chrome did the trick
-
alameyo
submitted
-
Guus
srly? you need a specific browser to fill out a form? wow.
-
alameyo
I have done it from firefox
-
alameyo
did you tried Lynx or smth like that?

Dame Blanche going strong
-
SaltyBones
Everybody likes Dame Blanche. :p
-
SaltyBones
soul, the reasoning in 0382 is correct but between providing the interface for sending such spoilers and the possibility for clients to ignore them just like they might preload links it seems like a dubious feature. :)
-
SamWhited
I love walking in places where the signs aren't in English and no one speaks it, saying a random thing on the menu, answering yes to any questions and then seeing what comes out, so no translations necessary as far as I'm concerned :)
-
ralphm
Preferably with non-latin scripts?
-
soul
SaltyBones: will read you later, I'm soaked and my luggage too, argh
-
SamWhited
ralphm: indeed, that's even better!
-
Link Mauve
Aaah, I’m late for my train! >_<
-
Link Mauve
I hope nothing will happen on the way.
-
Link Mauve
See you later. \o_
-
intosi
Safe travels!
-
Guus
Dinner update: I've just been in contact with the restaurant. If people would like to have a vegetarian dinner, that'll be possible. Some of the menu items are vegetarian (or will be slightly modified to be vegetarian). For a main course, there can be a pasta. If you're interested in a vegatarian option, please add that as a comment to the form (and tell the waiter tomorrow, when ordering)
-
SaltyBones
soul, welcome to belgium
-
soul
SaltyBones: haha, I'm still in Copenhagen, It was raining on my way to the airport.
-
SaltyBones
soul, okay, then the current light drizzle might even be an improvement. ;)
-
Link Mauve
I managed to catch my train, in extremis!
-
Guus
You make it sound as if you were standing next to the tracks, with a baseball-glove on, and stopped the train while it was passing you.
-
Guus
but, good for you :)
-
Link Mauve
Oh, it doesn’t also have the meaning of “just on time” in English?
-
SamWhited
It does; glad you caught it! See you soon!
-
Guus
link Mauve: yes it does, but I like to make silly puns
-
Link Mauve
I don’t have anything planned for the afternoon, does anyone want to walk around and talk afterwards?
-
Link Mauve
I’m arriving in Zuid at 3:47pm.
-
SamWhited
Link Mauve: I'll be around and will hopefully have finished my slides by then; it's a bit drizzly, but I'm game to walk around.
-
Link Mauve
Ok!
-
soul
I'm landing at 16:45 and from the airport to the Hotel. It's my first time there so I have no idea how much it will take for me.
-
Guus
weather warning: it'll be cold and miserable in Brussels until saterday/sunday (after that, it'll only be cold).
-
SamWhited
soul: it doesn't take very long; I caught a train to Bru-Central and then just walked from there (though you can also swap to the metro and take it right to the Hotel if you want to avoid the rain)
-
soul
SamWhited: is it better to go to Bruxelles-Schuman? Is all I kept in my mind from what Guus said.
-
SamWhited
soul: yes, if there's a train that goes there
-
SamWhited
I don't think any of the ones I saw stopped there, but maybe I just had bad timing
-
mathieui
Link Mauve, don’t forget to tell me where I sleep tonight, at some point
-
soul
mathieui: so brave :)
-
soul
SamWhited: ah ok, I see. Thanks, will try to check before boarding.
-
Link Mauve
mathieui, ah right, I need to figure it out.
-
Guus

-
Guus
(about half of the summit attendees have filled out the form)
-
soul
Good
-
soul
Our airplane is waiting for the pilot
-
soul
20 minutes for now
-
jonasw
that sounds very reassuring
-
Guus
I think it is a good thing that they wait for a pilot, before leaving.
-
soul
Guus: haha, you are extra funny today :D
-
soul
Well, he is here finally
-
intosi
Did you proceed to offload his luggage?
-
Link Mauve
SamWhited, I’m arriving, where do you want to meet?
-
intosi
May I suggest Poechenellekelder? ;)
-
intosi
(for you guys, I will not be in Brussels until tomorrow)
-
Link Mauve
21 minutes by feet from the train station, wfm!
-
intosi
See Manneken Pis, have a selection of beers :)
-
Link Mauve
SamWhited, ping?
-
Link Mauve
I won’t have Internet anymore once I leave.
-
Guus
I've tried pinging Sam for you in private - no response yet.
-
Link Mauve
The wifi in Zuid is weird, they allow for two minutes of connection if I don’t give my email address, after which I have to change my MAC address. ^^'
-
Guus
two minutes? just long enough to check for the train schedule, I guess? :)
-
Guus
If you want to go to the hotel by metro: Maalbeek metro station is closest by
-
Guus
Brussel-Schuman is just one stop further, but is a station for both train as well as metro.
-
Link Mauve
To check for the email they sent me. ^^
-
Guus
(assuming that you're staying in Thon EU)
-
Link Mauve
(I’m not sure where I’m staying, but I didn’t book any hotel (yet?).)
-
Guus
Sam might have figured out that Brussels is the chocolate capitol of the world... in which case I doubt if we hear back from him anytime soon ;)
-
Link Mauve
(It was originally planned to be at a friend’s place, but he moved outside of Brussels since then.)
-
Guus
Link Mauve: ok, let me know if I can be of help
-
Link Mauve
I sent a few calls for help during the train, I hope some will answer. ^^'
-
SamWhited
Link Mauve: oops, sorry, I dozed off
-
Link Mauve
SamWhited, still want to meet somewhere? :)
-
SamWhited
sure, are you near the hotel at all?
-
Link Mauve
No, I’m still at Zuid.
- SamWhited looks for food or things to do
-
Guus
monar, Hantu.sc, bg, Dwisnewski, Holger, MattJ (and Ethan), michalwski: if you want to join us at dinner tomorrow, please RSVP at https://goo.gl/forms/vgzWXyiRo5ne43yX2 - do so today please!
-
Guus
(as well as anyone else that feels like joining)
-
intosi
You realise some are not in this room, I hope :)
-
Guus
Yeah, I just compiled and copy/pasted that set of usernames by hand
-
Link Mauve
SamWhited, found anything? :)
-
Link Mauve
Otherwise I suggest going where intosi suggested.
-
SamWhited
Link Mauve: that sounds good to me, I remember liking that place
-
Link Mauve
Ok, I’ll be there in about 20 minutes!
-
SamWhited
I'll start walking that way, I should be there in 20–25
-
SamWhited
I won't have cell service, but I'll try to find some wifi if I can't find you.
-
jonasw
good luck finding a place, Link Mauve
-
soul
SamWhited, Link Mauve: where are you guys?
-
soul
I'm with jcbrand, maybe we can join?
-
Guus
soul: I think neither has internet.
-
soul
Perfect
-
SamWhited
soul: oops, we're at Manneken Pis
-
SamWhited
there is wifi here, if I were paying attention to my phone :)
-
soul
SamWhited: but are you in a bar or something or just standing at the statue?
-
SamWhited
soul: There's a bar with the sane name next door :)
-
soul
SamWhited: ok, we are looking how to get ther
-
SamWhited
same, even
-
SamWhited
excellent, see you soon hopefully!
-
jcbrand
SamWhited are you also staying at Thon? How did you get to Manneken Pis? Walking/taxi/bus?
-
jcbrand
OSMand says it's 17 minutes walking
-
SamWhited
jcbrand: I walked, but the train goes nearby too
-
SamWhited
the metro that is
-
jcbrand
ok, we'll walk as well, see you in about ~20
-
SamWhited
See you soon!
-
jonasw
have a lot of fun people :)
-
Guus
allright - I'm wrapping up for today. If you need me for something that cannot wait until the summit, mail me. See you guys tomorrow!
-
Tobias
nn
-
Kev
Do people have a plan for Thon to Diegem in the morning?
-
Kev
Seems to be a direct train from Schuman at 09:31, but that doesn't leave any room for error.
-
intosi
Kev: feel free to update the wiki if you think an earlier train should be taken.
-
Kev
Ah, does the wiki already list this? /me goes to look
-
intosi
I updated it this morning with an itinerary.
-
SaltyBones
I'm taking the metro to diegem...
-
SaltyBones
but I'm not at Thon
-
Kev
Does the metro go to diegem?
-
Kev
I thought it was just trains.
-
intosi
It's trains or busses.
-
intosi
The metro doesn't run there.
-
Kev
Times from Centraal don't seem any more convenient really.
-
intosi
metro / train is an option when you're near the Grand Place.
-
intosi
That's why I opted to mention the direct train on the wiki.
-
Kev
09:34 from Centraal will get you in not very late.
-
Holger
Do I need a separate ticket for the trains?
-
Kev
09:04 will get you in with 30 to spare or so.
-
Holger
Different from the Jump thing that works for Bus/Metro?
-
Tobias
i think so...especially since it's out of the city area
-
intosi
IIRC, you need a separate ticket for the train.
-
Kev
Yes, you need a train ticket for that.
-
SaltyBones
Ah, sorry. I just call the S trains metro....
-
Holger
Okay. (There's a somewhat more expensive Jump ticket that lets you travel to the airport, I guess that would include Diegem. But not by train then.)
-
SaltyBones
I have never figured out the exact nomenclature for trains, metro, subs, trams, etc
-
intosi
In Brussels, there's even the pre-metro, which isn't metro quite yet.
-
mathieui
I like that you need to buy a €5 card to buy tickets in bulk
-
mathieui
Even paris is less of a ripoff
-
alameyo
oh, I know city where you can almost exclusively buy tickets in bulk of 5
-
alameyo
you can got for a trip there and back twice
-
alameyo
and you are left with one more ticket
-
mathieui
Sounds perfect
-
mathieui
The thon hotel lobby music is some evil stuff, it's a short tune in an infinite loop
-
soul
I payed 8,90€ for the ticket from the airport to Brussels-Schuman (train)
-
soul
No idea if there was a better option
-
Holger
Last year I payed 7.50 € for a day pass and went by bus.
-
alameyo
ahh, airlines canceled my flight
-
SamWhited
sure thing, see you tomorrow
-
SamWhited
*facepapm* PM
-
alameyo
I will be about hour later
-
alameyo
so turns out it isn't so bad
