Hi all, |
2 |
|
3 |
Still somewhat on short notice, but not undoable, I am planning a |
4 |
Gentoo@FOSDEM dinner for saturday 4th of februari. The location will be in |
5 |
the centre of Brussels, not far from the "Grand Place" ("Grote Markt" in |
6 |
dutch) so very easily reachable with (public) transportation. |
7 |
|
8 |
I set my eye on a restaurant called "Vert de Gris" which can serve a group |
9 |
of tired but hungry people. Although I have no experience with the |
10 |
restaurant myself, I did get positive feedback from some people and since |
11 |
the restaurant is available, I am hoping this will give us all a good |
12 |
accomodation - and food ;-) |
13 |
|
14 |
To allow proper service for a group of people, the restaurant does ask for a |
15 |
selection of one of their group menu's (not some people the first menu and |
16 |
some the second) but the menu's themselves offer the necessary choice to |
17 |
support the stomachs of most of us. |
18 |
|
19 |
Below you can find the two menu's offered (freely translated) and their |
20 |
price. I would appreciate it if you could tell me (if you participate) which |
21 |
menu you would like and if the other menu is doable for you as well (that |
22 |
way I can select the most popular menu and still know if people that |
23 |
selected the other are still interested in participating). |
24 |
|
25 |
If you also already know the more detailed selected (within the menu) that |
26 |
would be appreciated as well, but there is still time left for that later (I |
27 |
do need to confirm the number of participants soon though). The restaurant |
28 |
sais they have sufficient room for larger groups (I originally thought about 20 |
29 |
people but they can host much more) so I don't think a "seat limit" is |
30 |
needed (unless I now get thousands of positive replies ;) |
31 |
|
32 |
Also, this is open for both developers and contributors/users. |

I hope this is something most people can choose from and is in their |
71 |
allocated budget. If that isn't the case, please tell me (first time I |
72 |
organise something like this for people I have hardly met in person - some |
73 |
exceptions notwithstanding ;-) |
