AFAIK Debian has funds if we decided we want to rent a place... and I've been to HSBXL last FOSDEM and found it a fine place and I'm glad they offer it very openly to groups like us.)
Cool! Glad you enjoyed our spot last year :)
Linux.be offices was nice for the video team because we had a space where we could leave equipment safely without having to pack it up every day, they were also very welcoming and fine with people sleeping over and taking showers there. Not 100% sure whether that's possible at the hackerspace, linux.be might still be a better option for the video sprint but if you have more information on what's possible at the hackerspace, then that could help the video team to coordinate at the next IRC meeting.
We have a server room, where we also stock our valuables. I'm guessing we could hand a key to one person. In any case, there are plenty of unused spaces in the building. It would strongly surprise me if I wouldn't get permission to use one to lock up your video gear.
Sleeping is a tough issue... The building nor hackerspace are insured for overnighting. So whatever you do, do it wisely.
As far as I know, there are no showers in our building. There might be one at the climbing wall (that's on the other side of the building), would have to ask for that. We do have a kitchenette with hot water.
We've got a pretty solid network- and internet connection, so I think internal and external traffic shouldn't pose any problems for sending out a video stream.
Hope to be seeing you in January, Jurgen P.S. wherever you end up... you're certainly invited for Bytenight :)
