I have contacted some wiki projects sending them the email below. If you
know good contacts out there please forward this invitation to them.
The FOSDEM organizers replied back saying that they preferred a
cross-project Wiki devroom. The more and more diverse support we get,
the better chances we will have to get the devroom proposal accepted.
... and if you want to help defining the proposal you are of course
invited too. I'll start drafting tomorrow.

Dear wikicolleague(s),
The Wikimedia/MediaWiki community is planning to propose a DevRoom for
FOSDEM (Brussels, February 1-2, 2014).
https://fosdem.org/2014/news/2013-08-06-call-for-participation/
The FOSDEM organizers promote cross-project devrooms and we think it is
a good idea as well. There is no lack of wiki projects and wiki topics
to present and discuss!
I'm coordinating the elaboration of the proposal from the Wikimedia
side. Deadline: 15 September. I will start drafting it at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Events/FOSDEM tomorrow, but first I
wanted to contact several projects seeking support and eventually
collaboration.
What we need:
* If you are interested, please give explicit support to this DevRoom on
behalf of your project.
* If you are quite interested, watch and edit the proposal.
* If you are really really interested and you will have the time, step
in to co-coordinate the DevRoom.
There are no more details so far. Following TheWikiWay ;) I decided to
start contacting you before getting too deep into the planning.
Let me know if you are interested!
Best regards,
