Hi, we have a you have the list of sessions accepted for the Wikis
devroom at FOSDEM.
Speakers must confirm their participation and polish the descriptions of
the sessions. In some cases we will contact the speakers to fine tune
the topic or the time available for their session. We will schedule the
sessions as they are confirmed. All in a very wiki fashion, only on a
tool (FOSDEM's Pentabarf) that we don't control quite yet.
We will also start a discussion in this list to organize a panel
session. Your feedback about this panel and your ideas to improve the
schedule are welcome.
