FOSDEM is probably the most developer-oriented Free and Opensource conference, taking place in Brussels, Belgium on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 February 2009. Apart from having many invited speakers, the conference offers developer rooms, stands and lightning talks to projects from the Free and Opensource community. We hereby welcome proposals from projects to participate in organizing a devroom, manning a stand or holding a lightning talk.
As every year, we have only a limited number of rooms, space for stands and lightning talk slots. Since we always receive more requests than we can host, a committee within the FOSDEM organizing team will review all proposals. Selection will be based on possible impact, our experience of previous editions and diversity in the offerings.
*** Devrooms We offer large projects a devroom during the conference. 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.
See http://fosdem.org/2009/call_for_devrooms_and_stands
*** Stands We offer stands to projects that want to present themselves to the visitors in a more personal fashion. Stands can be used to share information, demo software, sell merchandizing or give away goodies.
See http://fosdem.org/2009/call_for_devrooms_and_stands
*** Lightning talks We offer lightning talks to all other projects that want to present themselves. A lightning talk is a short talk in which a project can introduce itself, talk about recent developments, or share exciting new directions.
See http://fosdem.org/2009/call_for_lightningtalks
FOSDEM 2009 will be the 9th edition of the event, which has been steadily growing every year in importance and in the number of visitors. Our goal is to provide a platform to Free and Opensource projects to meet, discuss, present their current and future developments, both to their own developer and user community as to other projects that are present. Given the large amount of active contributors from many different projects present during the conference, it is an exceptionally well suited occasion to share goals and ideas with people from other communities, which is something we strongly encourage and do our best to support. Of course, the event only lives through the projects that take part in it, and through the many FOSS contributors who attend. We merely do our best to provide the best possible service to the FOSS community at large.
*** Key dates: * 2008-11-22: Deadline for devroom & stand requests * 2008-11-30: Devroom & stand acceptance notification * 2008-12-26: Deadline for lightning talk requests * 2008-12-29: Lightning talk acceptance notification * 2009-01-09: Deadline for final devroom & lightning talk schedules * 2009-02-07 to 2009-02-08: FOSDEM 2009

Dear All ,
Unfortunately z00dax will not be able to come this year and Dag doesn't want to lead the CentOS-promo sig anymore(at least temporary). So i'd be interested in knowing which people are interested to come at Fosdem 2009 and if a devroom is needed for the CentOS project (or only a booth) Can you asap say if you're willing to come/help/do something ? Same rule applies for the eventual presentations if a devroom is wanted.
Thanks.

As always, I can't say for sure if I can make it to Fosdem. However, I'll to do my best (until now that was usually just enough)
I'm willing to man the booth and I could give a presentation if appreciated. However, as the subjects I would talk about feel quite basic to me, I usually step back for people with more interesting presentations :)

Ok, i've sent a mail to book a booth and a devroom (that we'll share with Fedora as usual now ...) Let's see who will come and what presentations can be given .. I'll create also a new Fosdem2009 page on the wiki when needed

If you create that page soon, I can create an event on facebook and also send an announce to the 400 odd people subscribed to the CentOS group there. Also, if there is a page to point at we can then start posting that at other places too.
One thing on the agenda has been to come up with a list of places to announce and howto do those announces for various things. from updates to meetings to expo's to new releases. Maybe someone wants to kickstart that process ?
