FOSDEM always sneaks up on us ... it's time to figure out if we're doing
something there, and, if so, what. The date would be Friday, February 3rd.
The opportunity exists to do something again with CentOS out at the IBM
facility, like last year. There was a lot of feedback last time that it
was inconvenient and hard to get to. However, it is free, so there's that.
I'm also investigating a few venues closer to Grand Place, where many of
us tend to stay during FOSDEM. This makes it a lot easier to get to for
all of us, but there's a cost involved. And there's also a chance that
if we do that, we'd be doing it on our own, without CentOS.
So, this is a straw poll. Would people rather do something with CentOS
at an inconvenient place, or by ourselves at a place we can walk to?

I don't think it was such inconvenient place, at least not when coming
directly from the airport, it is on the way to the city.
I'd keep RDO meetup collocated with CentOS Dojo, but I'd prefer if we
could have it combined like in Barcelona with Ceph (just more serious
setup w/ less drinks, so people would actually listen and participate
in the sessions :) and not having RDO isolated in it's own room. For
that to work, we need to find right topics which would be interesting
for the wider CentOS Dojo audience, so let's start with that: what
topics are folks proposing?
I've added this to the agenda tomorrow.
Cheers,
Alan

I wouldn't even say, the drinks were the issue in Barcelona. It was more
the direct vicinity of the bar and talks, as people tended to get a
drink and to connect to each other there. Last year in Brussels
there was a coffee area to catch up with each other, where the
talks were away from that. I don't see the risk of people disturbing
presentations in this set up.
Best,
Matthias

Yeah, but for those of us who come from train, cars or already in
Bruxelles, it was inconvenient.
And the lack of coffee/restaurant nearby mean that it was not practical
to just go out and continue discussion. (but I am also getting grumpy
everytime we say "let's move" and then we wait 1h and transform a group
of 5 into a blob of 60 persons that can't decide where to go or can't
move because we are too polite to kick 55 people out).
I suspect next time, I will just announce that if a group is more than
5, I leave the group and do it my way.

Based on what I did see around Openstack days yesterday, ansible is
everywhere (ie, the only talk out of 5 I did see who didn't mention
"ansible" was one on pnda.io, who use salt), and openstack orchestration
using ansible did interest people.
Not sure however how much the target audience did overlap with centos
dojo (besides the few people I see during meetup that I did see there
too)
