We would like to make this RMLL a truly large, international event, pushing
free software and hacking. Mitch Altman will also coordinate a "fabulous
hacking area" (http://wiki2013.rmll.info/index.php/Fabulous_hacking_area;
to contribute to the wiki, enter the login BRU2013 and password
"auquotidien", and the word "libre" if you want to create yourself a login.
The general password can be spread to any interested person. It is only
meant to prevent harvesting by robots)

http://wiki2013.rmll.info/index.php/Fabulous_hacking_area

Please spread and consider participating to this event that we hope to make
it a pleasant one, maybe inspired by FISL http://softwarelivre.org/fisl13

We plan to have a preparation meeting during Fosdem (2 and 3  February 2013
in Brussels). About Fosdem, I can book 27 beds in a close auberge de
jeunesse (direct bus to ULB) at the price of 22 € per night. Please let me
know quickly if interested.

Hope to read you and meet you,

Nicolas
