If you already have content (speaker bios, talk abstracts, ...) that is confirmed, please already send it to me (at devrooms(a)fosdem.org), even if the whole schedule isn't complete. That'll save me a few sleepless nights to hack all the content into our CMS. And please remember that the devrooms will only be available from 14:00 on on Saturday (from 09:00 on on Sunday). I'm not kidding, because unfortunately university courses are still being taken in most of those rooms on Saturday morning. Hence it would be a good idea to start your schedule at 14:15 (umm.. yeah, I should have mentioned that earlier I guess ;)). 2) HOTEL DISCOUNT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Second, we have a bunch of hotel rooms left at a preferential rate at the Novotel Grand'Place [1], at 105 EUR / 115 EUR (single/double room, including breakfast) per night (it's 50% off the regular price). I know it's really short notice, and the deadline is *end of this week*, but if you're interested use the PDF form attached to this email and send it directly to the hotel, either by fax or by email (see PDF). About 20-25 rooms are left, first come first served ;) [1]http://www.novotel.com/novotel/fichehotel/gb/nov/1030/fiche_hotel.shtml 3) STANDS ~~~~~~~~~ Nothing particular ;) As explained in my stand confirmation email, the tables will have paper sheets with assignment sticked on them, and you can always get more information at our InfoDesk (right at the entrance). It would be kind if you could quickly stop by at the InfoDesk and have your name ticked by our staff, just to know who's there and who's not. If you feel like bringing some decoration (banners or such) for your stand, definitely do so -- I'm afraid they're a bit dull compared to shiny-big-expensive-commercial-events ;) cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser <loki(a)fosdem.org> http://www.fosdem.org /\\ FOSDEM 2008 :: 23 + 24 February 2008 in Brussels _\_v Free and Opensource Software Developers European Meeting -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHnjH2r3NMWliFcXcRAvSYAJ0VJHmtghHqS9XJvOh0aPt10hew7ACePXRa tizAb6GGXPUuo20xIwdEdLY= =pYfN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Linuxtag 2008
by Ralph Angenendt 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

Hi, Linuxtag is going to happen again! And it is in one of Europ's most sexy towns, Berlin. So if you want to help us showing off CentOS between May 28th and May 31st in Berlin, drop us a note. We'd definitely like to be there. The call for projects ends on Feb. 21st - so there's still a little time for you to decide to help the project with telling people why CentOS is the best distribution there is. See <http://www.linuxtag.org/2008/en/home/welcome.html> for more information. I'd like to add ourselves to the projects having a booth there. It's going to be fun! Cheers, Ralph

Re: details as requested

Looks like we are going to linux.conf.au! From experience I know that for a good booth you need big posters, big screens and lots of things for your visitors to take. For linux you also need penguins, thats a given. The big three I think are: - Posters - CD/DVDs - Stickers In the past I had the benefit of a marketing department who arranged all that for me but I guess this time I'll have to do some work. Is there a recommended procedure for getting everything together? Is there money available for printing? I'll need to get things underway this week because next Monday is a holiday down here. Thanks John.

Fosdem 2008 materials ..
by Fabian Arrotin 22 Jan '08

22 Jan '08

Wake up Folks ... :-) Here is a list of things that we need for the Fosdem ... Add your item to the list if i forgot something ;-) - Flyers (after a discussion with Dag, it seems we have still enough. Dag : how much ? and can you bring them ?) - Posters : the ones we used last year seems not usable anymore (iirc they were used also for the Linuxtag). is it possible to have newer ones ? - Flag ? we discussed last year about the fact of having a CentOS flag that can be exposed on a wall/on the booth itself. Maybe this could be considered as an investment (lasts longer than a paper poster i think) .. but that's just my opinion ... ideas ? - System/Monitor ? do we need a computer for the booth to stay powered on to show something (last year there was a dogtail script showing compiz on centos 5 beta) ... ideas ? - <AddYourIdeaHere> -- Fabian Arrotin <fabian.arrotin(a)arrfab.net> Solution ? echo '16i[q]sa[ln0=aln100%Pln100/snlbx]sbA0D4D465452snlbxq' | dc

call for papers for Fosdem 2008
by Karanbir Singh 07 Jan '08

07 Jan '08

Hi guys, Just wondering what the status on this is, should we send something out ? It would be good to have feedback and peoples names and presentation content done soon'ish I suppose. Also, if we get the agenda up on the wiki and the fosdem site, it allows visitors and developers time to plan their own schedule. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ GnuPG Public Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc
