About WiFi:
When WiFi is available (Ghent, Bredene), it is easier to look for
information to answer some questions.
But during the Dipro fairs, most of the time, we don't need an internet
connection.
I don't think it is an issue for now.

As Ubuntu (and linux in general) is very online-oriented (support,
repo's, etc), maybe it might be taken in consideration to get a Mobile
internet account, or finding someone who already has this kind of
access?
I'm paying Mobistar €5 per month and then €1 for every day I actually
use it - in Belgium obviously, and limited to 1 Gig/month. I really love
this "on the road" solution for if I don't have wifi access.
I don't know (but I'm sure there are more knowledgeable people in here
who do) if it would be possible to use one computer as "gateway" to the
internet and have all the others proxy through that computer.
In the other case, we would have one online computer to try out all the
online-relevant stuff and look up information if requested...
i use a Mobile Viking sim card with a huwaei E220 usb stick and a
Fonera 2.0g which will create a wired & wireless gateway (cheaper
than a Mifi)
I also used Mobistar which does offer 3G in most cities but I recently
canceled it in favor of Mobile Viking... (beware mobistar is a 1 year
minimal subscription!)
You don't have to pay 1 euro/day with mobile viking to keep your mobile
phone online 24/24h 7d/7d...and you don't have to spend 15euro/month if
you hardly call ;)
just don't try to download a whole distribution over the air :-)
but it's fast enough to look things up; answer your emails...
people with telenet turboline can have free access to Telenet hotspots;
people with Belgacom Go subscriptions can have several hours a month of
free access to Belgacom hotspots
