Fosdem 2008

Permalink 18/Feb/2008 01:03 , Categories: Linux, Travel

So, the tickets have been bought, people informed, hotel booked, and ... Visa applied for. Tuesday midday is when I find out if the Belgiam Govt did grant me a Visa or not. So depending on the outcome from there, I shall see some of you in Brussles the next weekend. Or Maybe not.

Notes:

*) The eurostar website will try and sell you 'Senior' tickets only. Ofcourse you need to be 60+ on the day of travel. Its not possible to buy non 'Senior' tickes from their website at the moment. A phone call to their website support people indicates its something they are aware of and its something they are thinking of scheduling time for to think about the fix..... *sigh*

*) Dont you think £68.50 for the 3 day Visa is a bit of a rip off ? Anyone from the Belgian Embassy.. no wait... they outsourced the visa application process to someone else.

update: the vfs.be-uk.com website now says that my papers have been processed and I should collect my travel documents from them.

Does not say if the visa was granted or not. But its them I am going to see right now!

More news when I have some. There is still a 50/50 chance that I will make it to Fosdem this year.

Welcome to my Blog. Various bits of rambling and going-on's find their way here. If you have something to say, I would love to hear it from you.
