Offsite Event at FOSDEM 2025…?
I have good news and bad news. Our Call for Participation for the Social Web track at FOSDEM 2025 was extremely successful; we had almost 40 submissions of great talks about Free and Open Source software for the Fediverse. The bad news is that we've got only a 4 hours of time at FOSDEM, and we've been unable to allocate more time for the track. So, right now, I'm looking for space in Brussels for additional space for an offsite event -- "Social Web After Hours", let's call it -- to run on […]https://socialwebfoundation.org/2024/12/10/offsite-event-at-fosdem-2025/
@evanprodromou Are there funds for venue rental? Several day before events use space in hotels near Grand Place: Novotel Bruxelles Grand Place, DoubleTree Brussels, and Hilton Bruxelles Grand Place are popular venues.
You might get some venue ideas from the 2023 and 2024 Fringe pages:
2023: https://archive.fosdem.org/2023/fringe/
2024: https://archive.fosdem.org/2024/fringe/
@evanprodromou ...and having clicked the link, I see you already linked to this year's Fringe event, so I can probably assume you already saw the 2023 and 24 pages.
@dneary @evanprodromou I have, but this is helpful. I don't have a *tonne* of money, though. I've been looking at more, umm, community venues, but I'll try pricing these out.
@evan @evanprodromou There are some hacker spaces that might be open to offering some space! I will poke around and see if I can get you a name and address.
@evan @evanprodromou The ICAB collective I see in the 2023 Fringe is the one I was thinking of.
@dneary @evanprodromou I pinged HSBXL. If you know of others please lmk! I also have been trying hotels.
@evan @evanprodromou No idea if they will do a free space, but the ICAB Incubator is here: https://incubators.brussels/icab/
@dneary @evanprodromou Nice! I’ll ask.
