As some people asked:
Here's how I got my #FOSDEM SIM and how I set it up:
Got off the train from the Airport at Brussels Central.
Left through the southern exit (direction of train running)
Went to the Store on the top left, picked up a free SIM. (Big Lycamobile stickers on the windows)
Went back into the station and bought 10€ worth of top up code from the Carrefour Express shop.
Put the SIM into my phone, disabled mobile data.
Apply top-up: *103*codegoeshere# (press dial)
Activate "Data 10" bundle: *139*3010# (press dial, press 1 to confirm)
reenable mobile data (that was a precaution so that the phone doesn't go online and use up the top up)
There is also a Data5 (3GB) for 5€, not sure if they sell 5€ top-ups though. For details see http://www.lycamobile.be/en/bundle?id=3

Extra notes. Just in case it helps someone...
- Beer store opens at 11am. Can't get the SIM before then.
- I never got the GPRS APN settings pushed to my phone after inserting the SIM. All I had to do was add an APN of data.lycamobile.be and all was well after a reboot.
- The Carrefour express is nothing like where shown on the map though. Much farther north. Find the starbucks in the station, take the corridor to the left of the StarBucks. Follow it strait up the stairs. The Carrefour Express will be on your left at the top of the stairs.
Thank you +Thomas Ruecker for the #exactsteps !Jan 30, 2015
Forgot to add the APN, indeed it wasn't pushed to me either. Thought it was a glitch. :-(Jan 30, 2015
