well um i'm here.. an entire week early :)
it'll be fun. the http://2go4.be is pretty good, the no 71 bus goes straight to ULB, there's a walk each end of about 250 metres... am enjoying the accidental circumstances...
Heh, A whole week early in person, but didn't manage to book a proper talk slot in advance (or did you just not quite make the cut?) Very 'LKCL' :-)
:)
i didn't apply in advance because i didn't know how far along i'd be with the laptop. i didn't want to just bring a 3D design on-screen plus some PCBs: first assembly i literally only managed to complete 6 days ago, so that was when i contacted alasdair. i'm on standby if there's a free slot, but it will be short-notice: i'll post on-list and the arm-netbooks freenode irc
See you next week; I look forward to a play. Are you going to be set up on a stand/corner somewhere so we have a fighting chance of finding you in the madness that is FOSDEM?
well the advantage of being here early is that i'm planning - if i understand things well enough to know if this is even possible (first time ever to fosdem) - to set up early on the "open hardware laptops" stand, plus, also, i want to speak to the people on the "3d printers" stand to ask them if they'd like to print out some of the laptop parts, on the basis that it'd be cool for both anyone demo'ing 3d printers and also for the libre laptop project. so i'll be at one or other of those stands.
i'm using the time here at http://2go4.be to refine some of the parts, as this is the first time that PCBs have been inside the casework, there is some quite obvious strain in places i could not have forseen without actually having actual PCBs with fully-populated components. that, and ABS does have quite different characteristics from PLA.
other than that, i'll post here (and on IRC) if there's any changes. if anyone has any suggestions (for venues / meeting-times) do say so.
