intosiWill just tried to book a room, and couldn't get one using the link. Would that mean we filled all rooms in the block?
Steffen Larsenhmmm we had a problem for a week ago where we couldn't book at all.. even though the rooms were there. It was a problem with the hotel booking site. Maybe its the same now.
simonSteffen - I had a similar problem last year. Ended up phoning the hotel directly and got a better rate (even less than the block booking rate).
Steffen Larsensimon: he he
Steffen Larsensimon: yes..the hotel was not cheap at all
ralphmsimon: are you sure it was the same type of room? Including breakfast? Same cancellation policy?
intosiLooks like the standard rooms are sold out on booking.com.
dwdI can't remember how long the block deal was for, but I thought we had it longer than this.
simonralphm: no breakfast. Perhaps that accounts for the difference. Does the block booking include breakfast?
dwdYes.
simonExcellent. I'll be maxing out on that.
Steffen Larsenhas left
dwdWell.
dwdIt's the five-items-or-less breakfast, isn't it.
simonSold out? Does MattJ's fan club know he might not be coming?
dwdHe originally wasn't. He may be now.
simonWell that explains it ;)
intosidwd: breakfast is about the only thing I don't like about the hotel.
ralphmdwd: maybe we should order bacon every morning
Lloyd5 portions of bacon, yum
Steffen Larsenhas joined
dwdIt's vaguely tempting to see if there's a café that can do a decent breakfast nearby.
intosiI'll have the bacon covered in bacon with bacon on the side, and add another bacon on bacon to finish it.
intosiAlso, why is my left arm feeling numb?
dwdSo you can pretend it's someone else's?
simonLooks like there is a bakery right around the corner PAUL BRUXELLES BELL'ART
Rue Froissart 72
1040 Etterbeek
Belgium
simonbread from there. bacon from A-loft.
ralphmsimon: there is no bacon at Aloft. That's the whole problem.
ralphmThey have the other stuff
simonShall I ask Rene to pack a bacon bomb? (https://secure.flickr.com/photos/simontennant/6843836070/ and https://secure.flickr.com/photos/simontennant/6989961621/lightbox/)
fippohttp://hancke.name/jabber/bacon.jpg -- some novotel at the paris CDG airport has those things ;-)

dwdFolks,
The now-traditional XSF Dinner has been booked at the now-traditional l'Auberge Brétonne, just outside Brussels.
As you're probably aware, the XSF solicits sponsorship for the dinner, so that we can carry on offering an excellent meal entirely free to our members. Sponsors will be thanked (and toasted) at the dinner, listed for all to see on the Summit 15 wiki page, and are welcome to attend in person even if not members. If your company is willing to sponsor, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me, or any other member of the Board.
XSF Members and their partners can, as usual, attend for free.
Don't worry about getting there - we're arranging transport from FOSDEM and back to the Aloft Hotel.
Dave.
dwdSomeone skim that before I send it?
dwdThen I can get on and post the first sponsor on the Wiki.
fippoship it
dwdbear, Simon ?
bear+1
dwdShould we announce sponsors as they come in to the summit@ list as well?
MattJ+1
bearI don't see why not - it may spur some others to give
MattJ(to the text)
Steffen Larsenwd
dwdOh, it's "Bretonne" not "Brétonne".
Steffen Larsendwd: what is the normal sponsorship?
dwdSteffen Larsen, One MILLION Euros.
Steffen Larsendwd: one billion…
MattJTen billion, i.e. the XSF could buy Dropbox
Steffen Larsenbut not nest
dwdSteffen Larsen, It varies. It's typically been proportional to the numbers of XSF members belonging to a company, but not always. There's usually a bit of a fight for the top spot.
Steffen Larsendwd: ok
dwdSteffen Larsen, All the amounts are public; they're posted on the wiki, so you can look at prevoious years (like Summit_13, Summit_11, etc)
MattJSteffen Larsen, nope, Nest was $3.2 billion, Dropbox $10 billion
Steffen LarsenMattj: but they are prob. worth more now
Steffen Larsendwd: ok. I might give a dime or two..
dwdSteffen Larsen, Nest is worth less, Dropbox is harder to say.
Steffen Larsen:-)
dwdSimon, What's your view on announcing sponsors to the list?
