Don't miss the interviews made by the FOSDEM guys : Hans Reiser, Ian Formanek, Keith Packard, Tim O'Reilly, Robert Love and many others."
You can get free beer at every brewery in Belgium! I have friends who go to Duvel every year to take the tour and "taste" the beer (a whole bunch of them, they rent a bus)! If you want to introduce foreigners to belgian beers, Stella is a bad start, IMHO. I recommend Leffe, Bush (bad name, great bear), Chimay, Queue de charue (give or take a spelling error),... Stella is just another pils!
