Logistics

Venue

Please note that the venue is not publicly accessible! You will need to announce your participation beforehand, to allow us to arrange for your access to the building!

Cisco System Belgium
Pegasus Park
De Kleetlaan, 6A
1831 Diegem
Belgium

Direct trains to Diegem run from both Brussel-Centraal (2-3 trains/hour) and Schuman (1 train/hour). Both routes should take between 15 and 20 minutes. According to Google, it's a 6 minute walk from the station to Cisco Systems Belgium. Schuman is the station closest to the Thon Hotel EU, the 9:31 train should get you at Diegem station around 9:46, which would get you at the summit with a few minutes to spare.

For more routing options, check Google Maps

Date

• Thu 31st Jan
• Fri 1st Feb

We'll start at 10:00 on both days. If you plan to arrive at least 15 minutes early, there shouldn't be an issue with getting things going smoothly. We expect to conclude both days around 17:00.

Agenda

Possible topics (please augment as desired):

• using OAuth for authentication (Goffi)
• unified encrypted payload elements (Paul)
• Compression 2.0 - can we come up with a quick-n-easy (secure) replacement for the current compression XEP before we venture on to EXI?
• MUC avatars (there is some unofficial support, but no XEP) (Goffi)
• Message IDs revamped: which of (@id, <origin-id>, <stanza-id>) shall be used for message references (0184, 0333, 0372, Reactions, ...) (Ge0rG)
• <moved/>: state of reworking and problematics (pep.)
• Your topic here - add your name please!

Hotel Booking

As usual, the XSF is arranging a hotel group reservation for the upcoming XSF summit and FOSDEM event.

We will be using the Thon EU hotel (Rue de la Loi 75, B-1040, Bruxelles), which is the same hotel as we've been using in the last few years.

We've reserved a block of single rooms, that are available from Wednesday 30 Jan to Sunday 3 Feb. The rates are as follows:

30/01	185 EURO
Thursday 31/01	135 EURO
Friday 01/02	75 EURO
Saturday 02/02	75 EURO
Sunday 03/02	135 EURO

This room rate is including breakfast buffet, but excludes a mandatory city tax of 4.24 per room and night.

Extra cost for double use is 20 euro per room/night (different rates might apply for children - contact User:Guus if this interests you). A chargeable upgrade in another room type may be necessary as from a third person.

It is not required to book every day: if, for example, you're only attending the Summit, it's fine to only book Thursday and Friday. Do take care to fill out the correct dates in the reservation form!

As there was some questions related to this last year, I'd like to make it clear that it is by no means required to stay in this particular hotel. If you prefer to make your own arrangements, feel free to do so. There are no XSF-specific events scheduled to take place in the hotel, apart from it perhaps becoming the designated taxi pickup point.

If you're interested in a room, please contact User:Guus privately (preferably via email), and I'll provide you a reservation form (or weblink, depending on what Thon is going to make available to me).

This group offer is valid until January 18. All remaining rooms will be released by the hotel on that date. This means that on that date, there's no guarantee that a room is available. The rates as mentioned above wil no longer apply either.

Please note that bookings are individual, between yourself and the hotel. You'll need to provide Thon a booking guarantee by credit card (your credit card information will not be accessible by me). All non guaranteed bookings may be released 72 hours prior to arrival. Rooms may be cancelled in written (again, to Thon, not to me) by fax (heh, I'm quoting this) or email on individual basis 72 hours prior to arrival without any charge. In case of no-show, late cancellation or early departure, the credit card shall be charged for 100% of the stay.

XSF Dinner

As usual, the XSF will hold a dinner for XSF participants in conjunction with the Summit. XSF members attend for free.

The XSF dinner will take place on Thursday evening, at L’Auberge Bretonne (Brusselsesteenweg 670, 3090 OVERIJSE)

We'll arrange for taxis to bring you from the Thon EU hotel to the restaurant, and back.
