Hi Cindy. I’ll soon book flights to depart London early morning 19 Oct. Unless you have an alternative way of getting to Brussels? I’m open to suggestion.

Eurolines and Megabus have supercheap bus rides. It takes about 6 hours, which is not all that different from flight considering everything (I think). Comfort level same as a Ryanair flight.
Hi Nabeel,
Thanks for being so persistent! Can you let us know which of the tasks listed here you can coordinate? If you can commit to one and join us for the weekly Wednesday calls where we plan the work, leave a comment there so that we can count you in. I will get back to you with an option for accommodation!

@rachel @asimong @bernard @cindys you guys will be staying in an AirBnb apartment near place Flagey close to the venue. I forwarded you the itinerary on email - let me know if the dates 18th- 22th work for you… this means you’d be staying for the whole festival 
@alex_levene @Olia you can stay in an AirBnb also near Place Flagey. I forwarded you the itinerary on email - let me know if the dates 18th- 22th work for you… this means you’d be staying for the whole festival
Alex, meet @Olia! She is the brilliant soul who designed http://festival.edgeryders.eu but Olia: introduce yourself proper, here? - see Add Topic! <3
There is a couch left in your apartment which I suggest to make available to someone else in this thread…

Hi All. If any others are looking to share AirBnB do let me know. Thanks @asimong. I will have to leave London early morning at circa 06:30 by rail/bus to Brussels on the morning of the 19th Oct. I anticipate arriving at circa 08:40 in Brussels and will make my way to to conference. Unfortunately, I have to remain in London on the night of the 18 Oct for a meeting.
If anyone else plans on leaving London early morning 19 Oct, do let me know.
@noemi thanks for arranging this! @asimong look forward to meeting you! Seems likely I will depart LND on the Eurostar on 17th Oct to meet with some people in Brussels and then join you all at the flat on the 18th.
I encourage everyone to sign up for tasks here
@nabeel_p @alex_levene (just double check) and the rest of the folks coming over

@baderdean @minted242 I will have a look at apartments, or depending on your budget would you prefer hostels?
Minted242 have we met or are you part of a team already set to come? I don’t see any posts by you around here, have you registered for the festival? That would be the first step to join. See instructions on Edgeryders Festival | November 19-29th 2019.
Thank you for the information @noemi, I looked at the registration now but I unfortunately cannot afford that individual participation fee in addition to finding accommodation and traveling there.
@noemi. The cheapest and the closest to the event is the better. However I don’t have a clue about the budget of the funding for hosting… @zmorda
Thanks, Noemi. I accepted the airbnb itinerary, which looks fine. Please let me know if there is anything else to do in this regard. Looking forward to meeting everyone else! Hi, @asimong, @bernard & @cindys - I am a biologist working with Hackuarium in Switzerland!
My big interests are citizen science, public health, and dynamic ‘genomic integrity’ - an idea which is basically pulling together all the molecular genetic aspects of cell bio into one ‘big picture concept’ - esp to sensitize people about possibilities for prevention.
ciao for now
I rented an Airbnb studio close to the venue (~15min walking distance) from Wed 18-Sun 22 Oct. I reserved it with two guests since it is the same price as one. I can take my thermarest sleeping pad (183x63x7cm) and offer it to a second guest to crash on. @noemi, if you know of any girls in dire need of accommodation you can direct them to me.
