Hi Jdd, great to hear you are coming! And thanks for your questions. We've only yesterday decided to move the location, so we'll be updating the FAQ asap. For now: - Train is possible from Toulouse by TGV and Thalys, but it's quite a journey (according to the international trainplanner approx 11hours), so travelling by plane would be desirable - Both Schiphol and Rotterdam/The Hague Airport are within 30 minutes from The Hague by either car/taxi or train, in The Hague and Voorburg public transport (bus/tram/metro) availability is excellent. - The venue is approx 10/15 minutes by public transport from The Hague Central station - There are quite a lot of cheap AirBNB locations and hostels in both The Hague and Voorburg, at the moment we don't yet have special rates with hotels but we will be working on this asap as well I hope to have answered your questions for now, again, thanks for asking and looking forward to see you at oSC 15!

rest and look forward to new horizons. oSC15 is a great opportunity to do just that. We can all come together re-kindle the spirit that has made past events great with large numbers of us Geekos participating in oSC. oSC is our event, it can only be successfull if as many of us as possible participate. Whether we discuss the booth boxes, marketing
yes.
let's discuss practical problems
coming from my home (Toulouse, France, but it's probably the same for everybody) is not easy.
car is impracticable (more than 12h drive), booking train seems to be pretty difficult outside country :-(
so airplane, but cheap flights go only to Amsterdam. That's not very far (30 km from Westvliet approx), but how to go?
Hostels can be pretty cheap.
could it be possible to block for openSUSE some rooms from stayok (http://www.stayokay.com/en/hostel/den-haag) from den haag or amsterdam?
with some way to go from airport to the hostel?
If I come, I could come from april 30 to sunday 3. The problem is more for the sunday, because we could be in a hurry to go from OSC15 to airport (the April 30 we have plenty of time)
