Hello Merijn, all,
i live in the Rupelstreek, that's below Antwerp, and I'm not all that
happy driving to Ghent. (what with it's accessibility (or lack of)).
Also, the terms "hacker" and "hackerspace" still carry a negative
connotation with most of the non-tech savvy people i meet.
That might slow down things also, imho.
If i'm allowed to think out loud for a minute, i'd say there's potential
for Linux in the Rupelstreek. As far as i know, there's not too many of
us linux users around here.
Maybe in the future, a launch party in these parts of the country would
help things forward a bit. That would need a suitable location of
course, but I've got a few venues in my mind.
On the other hand i realize that if everybody sticks to his/her
geographical location, the team will have a hard time getting together.
And that's not a suitable option either.
Kind regards,
Tom.

Maybe a better location that is better accessible with car?
You have to have a plan currently to enter Ghent.
I like "De Leest" in Izegem.
Maybe together with the linux groups in Kortrijk and Linuxbabbel?
