We've talked in the past about hosting a Wikimedia dev room or table for FOSDEM, but never got our acts together to apply. I think we should *totally* apply for a wiki devroom this year - FOSDEM is one of the best conferences I've ever been to, and especially given our wiki-representation in Europe, there are a million reasons why we should have a strong presence there. Let's do it!

Key dates:

15 September

• deadline for developer room proposals

1 October

• deadline for main track proposals
• accepted developer rooms announced

I think Wikimedia needs FOSDEM and FOSDEM needs Wikimedia. We could mobilize European developers and tech-friendly chapters to work on a combined outreach action.

First things first: proposing a Wiki DevRoom. What do you think? Note that it's "Wiki", not just Wikimedia or MediaWiki.

We should also brainstorm what are the best main track session candidates.
