How COVID-y has #FOSDEM been the last couple of years?

The upcoming @fosdem has just been announced and it's tempting...

@danmcd @fosdem It happened but we don't have numbers. I've been wearing my mask in most places and I've been fine.

It's right at the end of winter, indoors, and in an old campus with bad ventilation. Wear a mask and get your booster ~12 weeks or more before.

@RichiH

It's been a while since I was last to @fosdem so I don't remember the ventilation situation. Just got boosted, and I mask in situations like this anyway. That's assuming I get to go, of course.

@danmcd @fosdem ventilation is shit. We encourage people to open windows (unless they are too old/brittle/broken and we have to put signs on them not to touch some of them), but realistically, we can only do so much.

Mask, booster, and eating outdoors gets you very far.

@RichiH @danmcd @fosdem fosdem should contact @arra imo, this situation is the kind where HEPA air purifiers really make a difference

@kouett @fosdem @danmcd @arra I can bring it up internally, though without knowing if it would be full service it might be a hard sell. We are all at the limit with work, year after year

@RichiH @fosdem @danmcd @arra yea I do know how event orga/build/teardown can be taxing ;_; I know that at least they're able to do this in France, but I have no info regarding Belgium.

@RichiH @arra @danmcd @fosdem they've already covered multiple festivals here, so they're no rookies (disclaimer: I am not a part of arra)

@kouett @fosdem @danmcd @arra I reached out but no reply yet. We would likely be able and willing to do a test in a few rooms, full scale seems unlikely for now.
