A friendly reminder that if you haven't filled in the dinner form yet and you wish to go, please do so by CoB (17:00 UTC) today.
-
Daniel
And remember your choices. You'll get an email with the responses but do store that or screenshot that

Kev
Too early to have walked to the station, but at least I’m starting the trip correctly. With bacon.
-
edwinm
Excellent.
-
edwinm
Have a safe journey.
-
Link Mauve
I’m arriving at Brussels Zuid at half past three CET, anyone fancy meeting afterwards?
-
Guus
I've not even departed yet! On Mastodon, Andrzej wrote that he already arrived in Brussels, maybe he's up for meeting up?
-
MattJ
I always forget stuff, so I wrote a packing list with over 40 items I needed to bring, from my passport to my phone charger
-
MattJ
Got to the station a few minutes before the train departed, and realised my laptop was on my desk at home
-
Guus
If we ever do a DNA analysis, it will show that we're somehow related.
-
Guus
Did you go back to get it?
-
Intosi
Doh!
-
Daniel
Holy shit you need to bring 40 items to the summit? Now I'm wondering what I might have forgotten
-
MattJ
Yeah, I had to make a rapid decision (another thing I'm not good at), I went back and I've managed to amend the Eurostar booking so I can still make it
-
MattJ
Daniel: my list is very granular, I have "wallet" and "bank card" as separate items, etc.
-
MattJ
There was the year I remembered my laptop but forgot the charger
-
Guus
Was 'laptop' on the list?
-
MattJ
It was, but it was the last thing and I didn't study the list before leaving the house
-
MattJ
Maybe next year I'll print the list and pin it to the door
-
Holger
> Holy shit you need to bring 40 items to the summit? Sock 1, sock 2, sock 3, sock 4, …
-
MattJ
Pretty much 😅
-
Guus
I'm kind of anticipating a "I forgot to look at the door" remark to drop somewhere around this time next year...
-
Guus
But as I've not departed yet and are exteremely likely to forget stuff myself, I shouldn't be to verbal here... :)
-
MattJ
😄

goffi
Hey, I've missed a connection due to a delayed train and will arrive in Brussels only tomorrow at 9:35. I'll probably won't make to the summit before 11:00 if I go to my hotel first.
-
Link Mauve
Oh speaking of forgetting stuff and hotels, I still don’t know where I’ll sleep tonight. >_<
-
Link Mauve
I always forget something too, and usually that…
-
Kev
Usually the thing I forget is adaptors. First year in a while I’ve not had to buy them at St Pancras.
-
mathieui
For once I have taken a 3m usb-c cable, to avoid having to fight for a spot at the plug near me if needed
-
deuill
Taking the 13:01 train from London -- see y'all in Brussels! I'll likely take my stuff to the AirBnB before going out again.
-
Intosi
> Daniel: my list is very granular, I have "wallet" and "bank card" as separate items, etc. Does that list include "Jabber hat"? ;-)

We have 16 responses to the dinner invitation. If you want to come to the dinner, but haven't signed up yet, please do so before 17:00 UTC / 18:00 CET.
-
nicoco
Wait, we have to bring things? Nobody told me that!
-
Intosi
Mostly yourself. Some clean clothes and perhaps a toothbrush are appreciated as well, but you could obviously source these things locally.
-
Zash
IIRC my first summit I managed by just bringing a computer and what clothes I could fit in the computer bag. Plenty of swag t-shirts are available at FOSDEM ;)
-
deuill
Yeah but last time I did that I got arrested for not wearing pants
😆️ 1 -
Guus
If that's your strategy, ensure to bring enough bags to take all that stuff back home. Also, reserve room for chocolate (this is Brussels, after all).
-
Intosi
Guus, I'm sure you will be able to find swag bags as well.
-
Guus
true.
-
nicoco
Link Mauve, my train arrives in Brussels a little before 18.00, happy to meet! Also, I think you can fit in our (deuill and I) airbnb.
-
Kev
> We have 16 responses to the dinner invitation. If you want to come to the dinner, but haven't signed up yet, please do so before 17:00 UTC / 18:00 CET. I assume both of ours came through and it didn't confuse it for me to send twice?
-
Intosi
Both came through, thanks.
-
Kev
Ta.
-
Kev
I don't think SWMBO has come to an XSF dinner since 2008.
-
Intosi
It's an honour.
-
Daniel
Before I forget: I brought I huge box of stickers and other xmpp related swag (buttons) for the fosdem booth that I need to hand of to someone in the next three days
-
Daniel
(I'm not going to fosdem this year)
-
Intosi
Ping me tomorrow if I forget to ask you about this.
-
Kev
And the Eurostar leaves the station.
🚄️ 1 -
Intosi
Hurrah./
-
Kev
Do we have a start time for the morning?
-
Intosi
The schedule on the wiki suggests 9:00 room open, 9:30 summit starts.
-
Kev
I ask because the wiki hasn't always represented boots on the ground :)
-
Kev
But if that's the plan, I'm happy.
-
Daniel
As the person who created that schedule I think it's more aspirational than reflecting realty. We had the same schedule last year and IIRC people slowly started to come in after 9:30 for a start well after 10.
-
Daniel
But one can hope. I sure would like to get the most out of our time.
-
goffi
I would be pretty happy with a start at 10, then I could come directly from the train station and not miss anything.
-
Intosi
Interestingly, I have people who signed up for the dinner who are not attending the summit (according to https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Conferences/Summit_26 ), and people who indicated that they'd like to attend the dinner and who haven't sent their menu choices yet.
-
goffi
How much time do we have between end of first day and taxi to the dinner?
-
goffi
It's 1h more or less right?
-
Daniel
from past experience yes
-
goffi
Ok. So I'll come directly to summit and go to my hotel during this hiatus.

Sanity check - the link you gave is summit 26 😀 ↺

MatthewFennell
This is the link for this year's summit: https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Conferences/Summit_27
-
Intosi
Fair enough.
-
Intosi
That explains my bookkeeping.
-
Intosi
;-)
-
Guus
My train is scheduled to arrive at 9:13. Barring delays, a 10:00 start is doable for me, but 9:30 probably isn't.
-
Intosi
Still a few missing who said they'd like to attend the dinner, but have't filled in the form.
-
Kev
Do you care about me updating the wiki?
-
Intosi
Makes sense to me.
-
Kev
I was hoping you'd say 'no, no point'. I'll see if I have enough data.
-
Kev
Done.
-
Intosi
Considering we copy these things around, if we fix it now, we fix it for years to come as well ;).
-
Kev
We copy people's attendance at dinner?
-
Intosi
Ah no. Sorry, I thought you meant the starting time.
-
Andrzej
nicoco, Link Mauve, I’m also in Brussels already. I would be nice to meet. Any time after 16:30 would work for me
-
nicoco
Andrzej, cool! I don't know Brussels at all and it looks like I'm the last one to arrive there, so tell me where I should go and hopefully I'll find my way to where you guys are.
-
Link Mauve
nicoco, that would be great!
-
Link Mauve
Andrzej, where are you atm? I just managed to find working wifi at the Zuid station for the first time in many years. :D
-
deuill
I'll be at the AirBnB at around 16:45 to leave my stuff -- Link Mauve you OK staying there? Wanna leave any stuff before heading out?
-
Andrzej
I’m at the hotel (Thon)
-
Link Mauve
I only have my bag, I travel light. :)
-
deuill
Alrighty. I'm due to arrive at Midi at around 16:10 so we can either meet up before or after
-
Link Mauve
I’m still there so I can fetch you at the arrival of your train!
-
deuill
Alright, I'll DM you
-
Kev
I’m probably on the same train.
-
Kev
(But don’t need meeting :) )
-
Kev
Metro Midi to Thon(2/6) is apparently not running properly at the moment. So that’s nice. :)
-
Intosi
Some for some healthy exercise?
-
Guus
or a cab.
-
Zash
How much snow do you have?
-
Guus
Not enough for skiing, if that's what you're getting at.
-
Kev
Safely ensconced in the Thon.
-
Intosi
Happy to hear.
-
mathieui
I haven't even left yet and my train is already late
-
nicoco
> Some for some healthy exercise? Not sure if serious but I did take some of my running gear, I fear the weather and/or beers might take my motivation away though. ↺
-
deuill
Anyone want to meet up for beer/tea/bourbon? Our AirBnB is close enough to Thon so something around there would work
-
Alex
Just arrived at Thon. Let me know when someone is up for some dinner
-
Kev
Cath and I are having dinner just the two of us tonight, sorry Alex.
-
deuill
We're thinking of heading out near Bourse for some drinks? We're following Link Mauve!
-
deuill
Will send a location when we land somewhere!
-
Andrzej
I had dinner already, but I would be up for a drink…
-
Alex
I think I will try the irish Pub which is close by the Hotel
-
Alex
will be in the lobby in 5 minutes when you want to join
-
goffi
Kev, MattJ : I believe that you were talking about a new draft for Spaces, is there some document we can look at before summit?
-
Kev
I'm afraid not. Lots of it 'just falls out' from doing a combination of GC3 and the related-entities protoxep.
-
MatthewFennell
I'm sorry, I'm not able to attend the sprint anymore. I was due to take the last Eurostar of the day, but I missed it
-
MatthewFennell
Intosi, I filled in a dinner order, which I was going to self-fund. Message me privately and I can transfer you the 80 EUR
-
Kev
No scope to reschedule to one tomorrow morning?
-
Kev

Ralph and I have arrived and are heading down to the bar.

Side note: the mastodon account said everyone is welcome physically or remote to summit, but I believe we have a somewhat fixed roster for the conference room (everyone who registered in advance being of course welcome)
-
MatthewFennell
> No scope to reschedule to one tomorrow morning? It's a good point, I didn't think in my panic 🙂 ↺

I'll aim to arrive tomorrow

> Side note: the mastodon account said everyone is welcome physically or remote to summit, but I believe we have a somewhat fixed roster for the conference room (everyone who registered in advance being of course welcome) I think everyone was welcome, but the deadline for registration was some time (weeks?) ago, so I guess this was an old post or such.
-
lissine
The post is from an hour ago
-
Kev
Oh. I wonder who did that, something’s gone a bit wrong there, I think.
-
Daniel
_technically_ we still have a few spots left. But yes in general I believe we would prefer people to register beforehand

> I'll aim to arrive tomorrow I'm sorry, I won't come after all - to be honest I'm in not in the right mental state. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. ↺
