But this elinux page can be also used for organisation of some of them

Connected things/Automotive Community dinner
As suggested by various communities (Tizen,Automotive, Automotive Grade Linux, GENIVI, IOT, Embedded etc) it could make sense to make an automotive/connected/thing focused BOF meeting on Saturday evening, too.

We plan to have dinner in a restaurant and some drinks/beers afterwards in a bar.

We need an accurate head-count to book the place, so if unsure please use comment field.

If we're too much than we can handle in one place, sub groups for the dinner will need to be created. We'll rejoin then in the bar.

Details

 * For the restaurant, we're looking right now at/for places within walking distance from FOSDEM / ULB.


 * For the bar, we're looking for your suggestions (local ppl: places you do recommend?)

Plan is to be either close to ULB again (walking distance from restaurant) or in downtown.

What about these suggestions: le tavernier, michaelcollins.eu, Poechenellekelder, laportenoire.be ?
