I have been incredibly organised and booked my #FOSDEM travel and hotel.

My first time going (!) so grateful for any tips, advice, warnings, memes, in-jokes, and suggestions from regular attendees.

@Edent If there is a session you really want to see, possibly go to the session before it so you can get a seat.

Be careful with backpacks in the corridors, turn with care.

On the Friday night, Delirium is very much the place to be. For those that drink alcohol, Delirium Tremens is a really nice 8% ale.

(Happy to be corrected) I think it is the number 75 bus that gets you from the city centre to the university.

@plwt @Edent Delirium is a Cafe right? So I should be able to go as well despite being under 18?

@Edent @plwt Hmm. They do have a number of soft drinks on the menu, I might go there after FOSDEM and see if I'm allowed in or not. Does the same apply to bytenight?

@QuadRadical I've never been - you'd best ask them directly.

@Edent @QuadRadical @plwt We don't have an age limit to enter bars/ cafes / restaurants in Belgium. Only for nightclubs. Legal drinking age for beer is 16, and 18 for hard liquor.

@QuadRadical @plwt @Edent from my limited experience of last year, it is so full of people that you can spend quite some time hanging outside and talking to people. You need to make a real effort to get inside. Minimum age to buy beer in Belgium is 16
