Fwd: [FOSDEM] News : Call For Developer Rooms
by Geerd-Dietger Hoffmann 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

FYI. :) Just because some people didn't get the last mail ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <info(a)fosdem.org> Date: Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 8:27 AM Subject: [FOSDEM] News : Call For Developer Rooms To: fosdem(a)lists.fosdem.org A *devroom* is a room in which projects can organize their own schedule made of presentations, brainstorming and hacking sessions. Our goal is to stimulate developer collaboration and cross-pollination between projects, and as such we strongly favor projects with similar goals and domains to host a devroom together. *Distribution projects:* As every year we only have a limited number of rooms, yet every year more and more individual distributions request a Developer Room at FOSDEM. We do not want to have to choose between them, but instead push our mission of a collaboration platform and cross-pollination even further. We will host mixed distribution rooms where talks and sessions will be organized *by topic*. Contributors from all distributions are welcome to join in order to participate, attend, propose topics and sessions. To do so, please subscribe to the distro mailinglist [1]. .... What we offer: * a room on Saturday and/or Sunday, * a video projector (with VGA cable) * power (C/E plugs) * wired (RJ-45) network with Internet access at the speaker's desk, * best-effort shared wireless Internet access (a and b), * publication of the schedule on the FOSDEM website, including speaker bios and talk abstracts. .... Conditions for requests: * preference for requests with a general topic, eg. from projects with similar goals/domains, * be involved in Free or Opensource Software (the projects produce and release software under an opensource license or otherwise contributes to opensource activities and communities), * send us a devroom request before 2009-11-22 as described below, Distribution talks are organized collectively on the distro mailinglist [2]. Others can request a devroom by submitting the form below. For further questions, contact devrooms(a)fosdem.org [3]. The number of available rooms is limited so the FOSDEM organization will select the proposals that can get a devroom. *Key Dates:* 2009-11-22: Deadline for devroom requests 2009-11-29: Acceptance notification of devrooms 2010-02-06 to 2009-02-07: FOSDEM 2010 -------- DEVROOM REQUEST FORM ------------------------------------------------ For more information, or to fill in the form check out: http://www.fosdem.org/2010/call-developer-rooms [1] http://lists.fosdem.org/mailman/listinfo/dist2010 [2] http://lists.fosdem.org/mailman/listinfo/dist2010 [3] mailto:devrooms@fosdem.org _______________________________________________ FOSDEM mailing list FOSDEM(a)lists.fosdem.org http://lists.fosdem.org/mailman/listinfo/fosdem
