---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: info@fosdem.org Date: Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 8:27 AM Subject: [FOSDEM] News : Call For Developer Rooms To: fosdem@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@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

I've read the initial Fosdem mail regarding Devrooms and i don't understand clearly how they'll be organized for 2010 edition : no distribution/project devroom anymore but 'per topic' devrooms (for example packaging, code, etc, etc) I don't know how CentOS will fit in those definitions. I've at least already asked a stand/booth (see my previous mail) but don't know what to do for the devroom request :/
Other ideas ?

Here's how the Distribution Con is supposed to look like:

And yes, I am not too sure either how we fit in some of those slots, as we are a bit special in what we do.
Still: In my opinion we should try to participate in that, at least in sessions where we might have a say.

Ralph

I think we should try and get some slots somewhere? Was quite good last year.

I don't know if there are "slots" per se. I'm on the mailing list (well, nearly) ... let's see what is going on there.
