---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: info@fosdem.org Date: Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 09:27 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
