[Xorg-fosdem] HotHouse location & public transportation.

HotHouse location:
------------------

The location of the hothouse on the ulb campus is portrayed on the 
following map:

I hope to be able to post a few signs in the building, but if you're 
lost, just call me.

Getting to the FOSDEM site:
---------------------------

FOSDEM is about 6kms from the grand place and as such it's not that 
feasible to count on feet alone unless you want to leave an hour early.

Luckily the ULB campus is serviced by 1 bus and two trams.

Bus 71:
-------

At reasonable hours (read from 06.30 until midnight), you can take a bus 
at the gare central (centraal station) every 10 minutes on friday and 
every 20 minutes on saturday and sunday. This bus is clearly marked "71 
Delta" and the bus stop will have that displayed as well. This bus takes 
about 16 minutes to get to the ULB stop, which is where FOSDEM and our 
hothouse are at.

For the bus back the only option is the same bus going the other way. 
Sadly, the latest one available at the Elsene/Ixelles cemetary is there 
at 23.51, any later and you'll have to go back by cab or on foot (not 
too bad when you're intoxicated, but might be a bit long before you can 
hit the sack).

The full schedule plus a list of all the stops is available at:

Tram 93/94:
-----------

Tram 93 direction Marie Jose and Tram 94 direction Wiener:
Every 12 minutes on friday and every 20 in weekends.

Both lines share the trajectory between the north station and 
the ULB. The closest passage to the central station is Palais or 
Paleizen.

The latest tram back is at 00.18.

-----
All single tickets cost 1.5EUR, 3 for back and forth. A 5ride card is 
6.70 and 10 is 10.50EUR. For 9EUR you can get the 3/5 card, which will 
get you 3x24h on 5d where you can ride the bus for free. There 
supposedly are ticket dispensers all over the place, but for single 
tickets you can also pay inside bus or tram.

A full map with all lines is available at:
http://www.stib.irisnet.be/NL/34000N.htm so you can look up the location 
of your hotel on that.
