Hi everyone,

It's not exactly a secret that FOSDEM will be taking place during the first weekend of February at the usual location, the ULB Solbosch campus in Brussels. It's also not that big of a secret that a lot of Puppeteers attend especially now that we have a Configuration Management room.

However, it usually is a secret who will be there and that more difficult to get in touch with each other because everyone's running about going to interesting talks. Plus, not everyone knows everyone.

So I'd like to propose two things:
 * If you're going to FOSDEM, reply to this e-mail, drop a line with your name, nickname and if you're comfortable with it, a picture so that people might recognise you;
 * Join the meetup, which will likely involve food and drinks at your own expense. If you're up for it, feel free to register here (or not, doesn't matter but it's nice for in your calendar): https://www.eventbrite.com/e/puppet-community-fosdem-meetup-tickets-5242929744

Now I just have to hope a few people will show up :).

Hi all,

The Belgian Puppet User Group will represent all Puppet User Groups @
the puppet stand @ FOSDEM

We hope to see you all passing by the stand and have a nice chat.

If we, as the belgian puppet user group can help out with this, feel
free to contact me, so i can assign some volunteers :)

Hi all,

Well this will be my first time at FOSDEM. And CfgMgMt too. I am looking forward to the trip with my friend James and I am especially looking forward to meeting you great people.

My name is Mike and I don't have a photo to share with you guys right now I'm afraid. I will be the ginger English guy stood next to the non-ginger English guy asking you silly questions ;-)

See you there.

Hi,

Sounds good. It depends a bit on how big the group gets. If we're a small amount of people it's easier to just figure out something ad-hoc but if the group grows we'll need to think of a venue beforehand at which point having a few local volunteers help out and suggest places would be extremely helpful.

Just to avoid any confusion, this is no way an official Puppet Labs events nor am I affiliated with Puppet Labs. This is just a call to socialise from one community member to the rest.

Same for us,  We are presenting the Puppet User Community.  And since this is a home match for us, there will always be people available to help out if the need arise.

For the couple of you who don't know me, this is what I look like, but
don't expect me to be wearing the hat!

Count me in! If people are nice, I might even be persuaded to buy a
few of the first drinks. It's what community managers do, right?

Thanks a bunch for setting this up!

Hi all,

my name is Walter Heck, I'm from Holland and I'm co-organiser of the Config Management devroom (though Dawn has done most of the work so far ;) ). I'm also co-organiser of config management camp.
On IRC you can find me as walterheck, on twitter @walterheck / @olindata.

I signed up for the dinner and will be in the config management devroom all day on Saturday. On Sunday I'll most likely be roaming the grounds.

If anyone else is coming by train from Holland on Friday evening let me know, we can match our schedules.

cheers,

Walter

Hi,

my name is Martin Alfke from Berlin/Germany.

This year I will attend FODEM for the first time.
I will also be at the booth and at the config room.

Unluckily I can not attend CfgmgmtCamp.

I will arrive from Berlin via plane on Friday afternoon.

Looking forward seeing you at FOSDEM.

I won't be at FOSDEM, but will be landing in Brussels Sunday afternoon
and board a train to Ghent near the airport some time around 7 p.m.
local time.

If that coincides with anyone's plans, that would be awesome.

Felix

Hi everyone,

Seems to be shaping up nicely, we've got 10 people registered for now.
Would be nice if the group grows a bit more but it's a good start.

Johan: Could you ask around a bit about a venue we could crash for
food and drinks? It would be nice if it weren't too far from the Solbosch
campus.

I passed the mail to the user groups members.
But as usual, i think everything around the solbosch campus will be filled up to the roof :)

Keep you posted ...

I'm @ahpook on twitter and will probably not look much like my avatar there.  This is more like it: https://twitter.com/FeyNudibranch/status/423292432717869056/photo/1

Hi everyone,

This is starting to shape up nicely. We've got a group of about twenty people registered now, I'm
guessing a few more will join us so I'm thinking we'll end up with about 30 people, which is good.

As you all know, the FOSDEM beer party is taking place the night before in Delirium. If you
haven't been to Delirium, even if you don't like beer, just go and have a look around. The sheer
amount of beer available is mind-blowing.

If you're wondering about the local cuisine, the Huffington Post is here to help you:

Johan: Do we have an idea yet where we can crash with 20-30 people?

Not really, maybe we should send out some scouts, and do a reservation
in the neighbourhood ?
Previous year, seems the puppeteers took over an italian restaurant :)
Sogno D'italia.

Hi everyone,

I've booked at Sogno d’Italia for approx. 30 people. They are expecting us
somewhere between 19h00 and 19h20 (that's 7PM for the Americans). 

I've changed the Eventbrite event to allow tickets up to 35 which means there's
about 15 places left if you want to join in. So, if you want food, please register :).

See you soon!

Hi,

Awesome, thanks Daniele! I have just registered for the dinner, though
I'm still not 100% sure I'll be there (there's an air controller strike,
argh!).

But I'll be lurking around, like (almost) every year :-)

For a photo : https://github.com/thias

I'll be mostly interested in discussing anything related to modules and
the Forge, but if any official Puppet Labs representatives are there,
I'd also be interested in getting in touch about consulting in Spain and
training.

Cheers,
Matthias
