And another set of updates added: - Clothes section moved to be earlier, added cloakroom info and recommendation of wearing layers. Also a face mask suggestion. - CfgMgmtCamp is mentioned in the 'other events' section. Dropped Buildroot one as it is not happening. It is 16th version of that article. Thanks everyone for suggestions. @fosdem@fosstodon.org

@hrw@society.oftrolls.com yes this change was already flagged for last year but somehow got overlooked, also the coffee corner we had long time ago in lower Janson was removed as well as the colored building S (which we never used but somehow was not greyed out on the map liked the rest of the buildings we don't use)

@hrw@society.oftrolls.com maybe a tip about clothes: wear layers so you can take off layers inside buildings and put them back on if you go outside. Also there is a cloakroom in the back of K building

@hrw@society.oftrolls.com @fosdem@fosstodon.org I'd add "wear a mask if you don't want to get sick" unless the ULB upgraded their ventilation.

@hrw@society.oftrolls.com @fosdem@fosstodon.org Also: * wear a mask. Even before COVID19, attending FOSDEM got a majority of participants sick.It's been a major crud-spreader for decades. * Don't bother about talks, pretty much every presenter is incompetent at public speaking. * If the FOSDEM org invites for a Janson talk, maybe accept, maybe not, but be prepared for everyone in the audience to be drunk and hung-over. Also, if they invite you and ask you to be technical, don't be deceived. Nobody will be able to follow you.

@hrw@society.oftrolls.com Thx for the article, it really was a good advice a few years back for my first FOSDEM, especially the food section! Still haven't learned the part about Friday though, but not for the lack of trying!
