Ok; well they could perhaps still be of some use on the booth
anyway... depends if we have more hw or not :)

Well, a few of us (me, quentin, jesse and saso) are going to the van
gogh youth hostel (http://www.chab.be/) which is cheap, quite good and
close to the ULB and the subway/tramway. But it's a youth hostel :)
(they have single rooms though).
If you want to go there, I think you better be reserving a room asap,
as it's quite popular (though they are not asking you to pay to
reserve a room).

Else, fosdem speakers and staff should be at the novotel tour noire
(http://www.accorhotels.com/accorhotels/fichehotel/gb/nov/2122/fiche_hotel.shtml),
so you might want to go there too :)
