19:24:28 <biertie> biker vroeg me vandaag: he joh
19:24:30 <biertie> voor fosdem
19:24:49 <biertie> huren we een hotelkamer, dan wel een appartement dan wel proberen we fedora te laten betalen
19:24:58 <biertie> voor de fedora contributors dan toch. sorry Tucos  ;-)
19:25:20 <biertie> ik zie het wel zitten om een appartement achtig iets te huren. waar we zoveel mogelijk mensen stapelen
19:25:31 <puiterwijk> ik heb een hotelkamer op kosten van GNOME dit jaar, sorry :/
19:25:43 <biker> biertie: o/
19:25:46 <biker> im arriving home
19:25:53 <biertie> oh ok
19:25:59 <biertie> let's switch to english
19:26:06 <puiterwijk> ah, sure
19:26:17 <puiterwijk> biker: so we're talking about hotels etc for FOSDEM
19:26:34 <biertie> so. Tucos, you are coming to fosdem, right?
19:26:39 <Tucos> anything's fine with me, if you can get money from fedora, just let me know where you're staying and i'll see if i can get a room there too
19:26:45 <Tucos> i am indeed.
19:27:39 <puiterwijk> I'll be in the Ibis Brussels Centre Ste Catherine
19:27:40 <biertie> I don't think fedora will pay for me
19:27:40 <biker> nice :p
19:27:46 <biertie> since I'm supposed to be belgian
19:27:48 <biker> biertie: you said we could rent a room?
19:28:20 <biertie> biker: I still have to look into it
19:28:24 <biertie> but it should work for sure
19:28:30 <biertie> I can't see why we wouldn't find one
19:29:04 <biertie> I just have to know
19:29:12 <biertie> how many people would we store in that room?
19:29:35 <puiterwijk> biertie: 12 people on a square meter, then you possibly get a visit from officials :-)
19:29:38 <biertie> we should find like at least 5 or 6 people I think if we want an appartment to be cheap
19:29:46 <biertie> else a hotel might be cheaper
19:29:54 <biertie> puiterwijk: haha ;-)
19:30:25 <biker> biertie: a friend of mine rent an apartment in paris of only 3 people
19:30:30 <biker> she said that was cheaper than booking a hotel
19:30:40 <puiterwijk> biker: yeah, but hotels in Paris are just crazily expensive
19:30:49 <biertie> +1
19:30:53 <biertie> appart from fosdem
19:30:59 <Tucos> in the hotel we were in they wanted to put is in a suite, no?
19:31:07 <Tucos> us*
19:31:07 <biertie> afaik there isn't much happening in brussels around that time
19:31:20 <biertie> Tucos: what?
19:31:42 <Tucos> iirc you asked to upgrade to 3 beds, but that was crazy more expensive?
19:31:53 <puiterwijk> I will be arrivig friday (31st of January) and leaving monday (3rd of February)
19:32:32 <biertie> Tucos: I don't think I asked anything 3 years ago
19:32:41 <biertie> you just slept on the ground :P
19:32:46 <Tucos> ah, okay
19:32:52 <biertie> not sure though
19:32:57 <biertie> it's 3 years ago
19:33:00 <biertie> can be wrong ;)
19:33:01 <biertie> also
19:33:08 <biertie> it's a crazy nice hotel we were in
19:33:12 <biertie> if I remember correctly
19:33:28 <biker> Tucos: will you go to fosdem?
19:33:36 <biker> i will arrive on friday and leave on sunday
19:33:49 <Tucos> biker: yes, i will
19:33:56 <biertie> friday-sunday is ok
19:34:06 <biertie> unless you want to see the super bowl in the american bar ;-)
19:34:07 <biker> Tucos: prima :D
19:34:23 <biker> i watch the super bowl every year :p
19:34:54 <biertie> I should take a day off on monday
19:35:00 <biertie> and do the super bowl in brussels
19:35:03 <biker> xD
19:35:03 <biertie> it's amazing!
19:35:07 <biker> i have class on monday :p
19:35:11 <Tucos> i'll probably leave on sunday
19:35:50 <biertie> :P
19:35:53 <biertie> ok
19:35:58 <biertie> everybody leaves on sunday
19:36:07 <puiterwijk> I have to fly to Brno on monday :P
19:36:10 <biertie> which is a day less to pay for the hotel too
19:36:13 <puiterwijk> biertie: so no, I'll leave on monday
19:36:20 <biertie> puiterwijk: you are out of the discussion! :P
19:36:26 <puiterwijk> hah, okay
19:36:33 <puiterwijk> also for travel onwards to Brussels?
19:36:45 <biker> that friday is my last exam ,., so itll be awesome,., thinking about no school :D
19:37:05 <puiterwijk> biker: yeah, I know. was that for my last year as well :D
19:37:40 <biker> :D
19:40:22 <puiterwijk> biertie: the Ibis hotel is either 230 for single or 270 for double (two seperate) beds for friday through monday, so pretty cheap
19:40:57 <puiterwijk> (or 270 for a twin bed, but I don't think anyone was considering that :P)
19:41:38 <biertie> but we need 3 beds ;-)
19:41:47 <puiterwijk> then you might call them and ask for info?
19:41:53 <biertie> for Tucos, biker and me ;-)
19:42:43 <puiterwijk> just ask them. you might be able to get a third bed in the same room for a small price. you never know until you ask :-)
19:43:38 <Tucos> sounds good
19:44:04 <biertie> true that :)
19:44:28 <puiterwijk> #action biertie is to call the hotel and ask if it's possible to get a third bed in the same room
19:44:30 <puiterwijk> :P
19:46:03 <puiterwijk> wow, just checking, and if you only book until sunday, a room with a single bed is 160 euros, and two beds (or a twin bed) is 180 euros
19:46:50 <puiterwijk> oh, and that is including breakfast, btw
19:47:13 <Tucos> ooh, omnomnom
19:47:46 <biertie> oooooh
19:47:50 <biertie> omnomnom indeed!
19:47:58 <biertie> on
19:48:00 <biertie> ok
19:48:01 <biertie> so
19:48:04 <biertie> we are 3 people
19:48:30 <biertie> and the prefered hotel is the Ibis Brussels Centre Ste Catherine
19:51:30 <Tucos> ack
19:51:52 <puiterwijk> just curious: Tucos, biker: how are you going to Brussels?
19:52:17 <biertie> by bike(r) ?
19:52:32 <Tucos> harhar
19:52:36 <biertie> :P
19:52:36 <Tucos> train, i guess.
19:52:44 <puiterwijk> biker: based on your area (Eindhoven), I think it makes most sense to travel to Roosendaal, and there take the international intercity
19:53:12 <puiterwijk> Tucos: through which stations? Amsterdam and then Thalys? or also international IC?
19:53:43 <biertie> oh right. the fyra isn't an option at the moment :D
19:53:55 <puiterwijk> biertie: hah, not really :)
19:54:10 <Tucos> thalys is lolexpensive. IC is pretty fast, but last time they went "IC's gonna be late, better take the train to Antwerp and from there to Brussels" and that was less fun
19:54:17 <Tucos> but yeah, IC via Roosendaal it is
19:54:36 <puiterwijk> Tucos: there's a Thalys for 29 euros...
19:56:13 <biertie> thalys should be pretty cheap
19:56:21 <biertie> if you order now for february
19:56:40 <puiterwijk> biertie: well, normally Thalys is pretty expensive (most tickets are 79+ euros), but this one is quite cheap for some reason
19:57:11 <Tucos> if i have to go via amsterdam, i could've been in brussels before being in the thalys :p
19:57:26 <puiterwijk> Tucos: ah, sure. that depends on where you live indeed :)
19:57:45 <puiterwijk> as I live in Utrecht, it's faster for me to go through Amsterdam and then take the Thalys
19:58:40 <Tucos> the IC from Nijmegen to A'dam passes through Ede-Wageningen, but going via Nijmegen to Roosendaal is simpler :p
19:58:43 <Tucos> i like simple
19:58:44 <biertie> it are winter sales on the thalys I guess
19:58:56 <biertie> but it's for sure also cheaper because you buy them months in advance
19:59:10 <puiterwijk> biertie: yeah, agreed
19:59:54 <biertie> anyway
