From peter at vandenabeele.com Thu Nov 6 05:48:42 2008 From: peter at vandenabeele.com (Peter Vandenabeele) Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2008 11:48:42 +0100 Subject: [Brug-admin] Fwd: FOSDEM 2009: Call for devrooms, stands and lightning talks In-Reply-To: <49121BBE.1090602@fosdem.org> References: <49121BBE.1090602@fosdem.org> Message-ID: Dear BRUG admin, If I see correctly, this mail is sent only to the limited "brug-admin" list. It seems FOSDEM was able to decide on a date for the 2009 edition. We have until 22/11/2008 to send in a request for a devroom. I consider the previous edition quite succesful, so I would suggest we try to repeat this endaveour. Are people interested in helping out ? Thanks, Peter (peter at vandenabeele.com) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Pascal Bleser Date: Wed, Nov 5, 2008 at 11:18 PM Subject: FOSDEM 2009: Call for devrooms, stands and lightning talks To: [... snipped by peterv ...] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This email has been sent on our mailing-list as well as published on our site. Also sending it to you as you were a devroom/stand contact at FOSDEM 2008. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FOSDEM is probably the most developer-oriented Free and Opensource conference, taking place in Brussels, Belgium on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 February 2009. Apart from having many invited speakers, the conference offers developer rooms, stands and lightning talks to projects from the Free and Opensource community. We hereby welcome proposals from projects to participate in organizing a devroom, manning a stand or holding a lightning talk. As every year, we have only a limited number of rooms, space for stands and lightning talk slots. Since we always receive more requests than we can host, a committee within the FOSDEM organizing team will review all proposals. Selection will be based on possible impact, our experience of previous editions and diversity in the offerings. *** Devrooms We offer large projects a devroom during the conference. 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. See http://fosdem.org/2009/call_for_devrooms_and_stands *** Stands We offer stands to projects that want to present themselves to the visitors in a more personal fashion. Stands can be used to share information, demo software, sell merchandizing or give away goodies. See http://fosdem.org/2009/call_for_devrooms_and_stands *** Lightning talks We offer lightning talks to all other projects that want to present themselves. A lightning talk is a short talk in which a project can introduce itself, talk about recent developments, or share exciting new directions. See http://fosdem.org/2009/call_for_lightningtalks FOSDEM 2009 will be the 9th edition of the event, which has been steadily growing every year in importance and in the number of visitors. Our goal is to provide a platform to Free and Opensource projects to meet, discuss, present their current and future developments, both to their own developer and user community as to other projects that are present. Given the large amount of active contributors from many different projects present during the conference, it is an exceptionally well suited occasion to share goals and ideas with people from other communities, which is something we strongly encourage and do our best to support. Of course, the event only lives through the projects that take part in it, and through the many FOSS contributors who attend. We merely do our best to provide the best possible service to the FOSS community at large. *** Key dates: * 2008-11-22: Deadline for devroom & stand requests * 2008-11-30: Devroom & stand acceptance notification * 2008-12-26: Deadline for lightning talk requests * 2008-12-29: Lightning talk acceptance notification * 2009-01-09: Deadline for final devroom & lightning talk schedules * 2009-02-07 to 2009-02-08: FOSDEM 2009 For more information, visit http://fosdem.org/ Feel free to forward, kind regards, The FOSDEM Team - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://www.fosdem.org /\\ FOSDEM 2009 :: 7 + 8 February 2009 in Brussels _\_v Free and Opensource Software Developers European Meeting -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFJEhu+r3NMWliFcXcRAtumAJ9k/r2rNS8exVURh6O/TeGpC3VFfwCfRE+w iSpU1+sS6hAo/2/iCKPI4VU= =d7aT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Peter Vandenabeele gsm: +32-478-27.40.69 e-mail: peter at vandenabeele.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/petervandenabeele http://vandenabeele.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I blame the jet lag :-P No problem :-) Thanks for the interest. Maybe next step is a similar call to action (like the one sent to brug-admin) to the general brug-talk list. Maybe we can make it more specific by adding the proposed "Call for papers" directly in it, so we have something specific to discuss. What do we need to change, compared to: ==> http://wiki.rubyist.be/wiki/show/CallForPapers I would be interested to hear about Rails 2.0 and Ruby 1.9 migrations. Maybe integrations with other environments (Java, .Net, SAP, ...) would be an interesting angle ? I doubt if I can talk already about my current customer project.

We where granted a devroom last year (thanks !) and had an interesting and full room for 1 day. I am quite sure with the growth of Ruby and Rails, our program will grow further, so a room of at least equal size would be very nice, if possible (I do respect the problems of size in all rooms ...). Practical information as requested: ** Project name ==> Ruby and Rails [please note 'and' which indicates it is not _only_ Rails] ** URL of the website of the project ==> http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/ ==> http://www.rubyonrails.org/ ** Description of the project(s) (will be put on website when accepted) Ruby is a dynamic, open source programming language with a focus on simplicity and productivity. It has an elegant syntax that is natural to read and easy to write. Ruby on Rails is an open-source web framework that's optimized for programmer happiness and sustainable productivity. It lets you write beautiful code by favoring convention over configuration. ** Name of devroom responsible and role in the project Responsible is the Belgian Ruby User Group (http://wiki.rubyist.be/wiki/show/BRUG) with pratical organizers: * Peter Vandenabeele * Peter Vanbroekhoven * Tom Klaasen * Jean-Baptiste Escoyez Thanks for considering our request, Peter Vandenabeele gsm +32-478-27.40.69 peter AT vandenabeele DOT com
