Has there been any further decision about this? I'll be at FOSDEM on behalf of Razor and would love to sit in at the Wine talks.
I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. We will definitely be at FOSDEM and will have a DevRoom on Sunday.
We don't (yet) have a hotel, nor do we have a full agenda. But we're not alone, I gather it's typical of most projects to scramble at the last minute.
At the moment, I'm considering booking the Best Western Royale Centre: http://www.royalcentre.be/
It has the right combination of moderate price and a hotel bar :-/. It's really hard to judge location; it's a 30 minute tram ride away from the conference, but it seems as though most hotels are going to be a fairly ways away.
Of course, everyone is welcome to make their own decisions, but it seems like it would be more fun if we all stay together.
Again, if anyone has any opinion on this, or first hand knowledge of Brussels, that would be welcome.
Cheers,
Jeremy
p.s. Please follow up on the wineconf list.

My experineces from three previous FOSDEMs: The conference closes down at 18:00 each day and then, there is not much to see in the university area. It usually was possible to find and affordable hotel in walking distance to the Grand Place, which is cool to walk around in the evenings (and makes it easy to access the Friday evening event then). There are also pubs and bars to hang out (yes, even non-touristic ones), if the hotel lacks this. So, my suggestion would be a hotel 1-2 km away from the Grand Place.
