[Wikimedia-l] Fwd: FOSDEM update

[Quim Gil]

Hi, just a heads up about http://fosdem.org - Brussels 1 & 2 Feb 2014.

One of the biggest and coolest grassroots open source events in the 
World - and the main one in Europe.

European orgs and individuals loving software freedom: Wikimedia wants 
to have a stand. Let's do something cool! Get involved.

Discussion better at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Events/FOSDEM or 
wikitech-l.

Thank you!

Hi, about FOSDEM - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Events/FOSDEM

Brussels / 1 & 2 February 2014

On 1 Oct we will know whether our proposal for a Wiki DevRoom has been
accepted or not. This is a DevRoom we have proposed together with XWiki
and TikiWiki and is open to all wiki topics. If we we get it accepted we
will organize a call for participation for this DevRoom.

The call for main track session proposals is open until 1 Oct.
https://fosdem.org/2014/news/2013-08-06-call-for-participation/

... and the call for lightning talks and stands is open until 20 Nov.
https://fosdem.org/2014/news/2013-09-17-call-for-participation-part-two/

You are encouraged to submit lightning talk proposals! Don worry if you
are unsure between submitting a session for a lightning talk or a
devroom: you can contact both and then they suggest you what to do.

Wikimedia wants to have a stand, and we have received an offer to help
from the nascent Wikimedia Belgium chapter. Probably more help can be
aggregated from CH, DE, FR, NL, UK + other tech contributors in the
region? Let's do something really cool! To be discussed.
