Communities dinners
There are also side events listed at:


 * https://fosdem.org/2017/fringe/

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.

Meeting points

 * 19h15 from FOSDEM ULB
 * inside FOSDEM H building near books stand, if you want to wait outside then look at us through the window

 * 19:30 at restaurant "Delecta" --  http://osm.org/go/0EoSy4SmA?m=  or  https://goo.gl/maps/RrUjY69RoMm
 * 21:15 at bar "Cafe Belga" (Flagey) -- http://osm.org/go/0EoSy_q5H?m= or  https://goo.gl/maps/BXXzwSZeqbm

Extra infos:

 * Let me suggest to *take cash with you*, because I noticed that lot of Belgium restaurants refuse to accept separates card payments (I suspect they want to avoid extra commissions from foreign cards ?)
 * Note that we reserved for 30 persons (based on the poll), The place could host more persons, but there is no guarantee. If we're too many, community will have to divide into other smaller self managed groups. After all this is up to community to decide :-).
