Hi Stani, Jan, Jon, all I am Femke's colleague at Constant -- we'll be organising on this side of the ocean great to hear there are enthusiasts in BE !
>>> As we work with hotel chains and independent hoteliers alike, in all >>> categories from 2* to 5* and at all budgets, we can make you a >>> competitive offer. >> I think this certainly sounds like a nice offer, but I guess some people >> (students?) might prefer a youth/budget hostel or such over any "2 star >> or more hotel"...? ;-) > I think the organizers are trying to reach a deal with an university. that company been spamming us before, but we have no experience in working with them (maybe any of you does ? ) they seem to be geared towards corporate work, and as you know, there are also quite a few travelling bureaucrats in Brussels but hey, we could contact them to see what they can do for modest budgets >> Anyway, I live in Belgium, and if I can make some free time during LGM, >> I'd be happy to do some volunteer work for the conference. excellent, when time will come there will probably lots of things to do ! Is there any >> other place I should subscribe, or is this list the best place to keep >> updated on things? > The best is to subscribe to this list. Also you can hang out on irc #lgm. >> If you want any reference: I've been involved in the Ubuntu project >> since about 5 years & in Ubuntu Belgium since almost 4 years.
