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 at 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 -------- DEVROOM REQUEST FORM ------------------------------------------------ For more information, or to fill in the form check out: http://www.fosdem.org/2010/call-developer-rooms [1] http://lists.fosdem.org/mailman/listinfo/dist2010 [2] http://lists.fosdem.org/mailman/listinfo/dist2010 [3] mailto:devrooms at fosdem.org _______________________________________________ FOSDEM mailing list FOSDEM at lists.fosdem.org http://lists.fosdem.org/mailman/listinfo/fosdem From alain.ravet at gmail.com Wed Nov 4 17:52:20 2009 From: alain.ravet at gmail.com (Alain Ravet) Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2009 23:52:20 +0100 Subject: [Brug-talk] Fwd: [FOSDEM] News : Call For Developer Rooms In-Reply-To: References: <20091026082748.A676377746@apeiron.fosdem.org> Message-ID: Yes, we should go.

Maybe this time, we could make it a real Ruby (on Rails) day: where in the past we had talks along the line of "this is why you should try Ruby", now we could have talks along the line of "Design Patterns in Ruby" or "How to improve performance". My point is that other talks on FOSDEM aren't telling you "This is why you should use MySQL", but more "This is how you can bend MySQL for your needs". btw -- I'll be glad to participate in the program committee.

So your own projects are interesting, and maybe it'd be good to get one or two dutch or german peeps, if they're interested - like Sven Fuchs or the Phusion guys.

This evening, I send a private off-list mail to all that have shown interest and we can then continue some practical discussion off-list. Of course, no problem to join later in the off-list or on-list discussions. My only concern is to not spam the list of 100 people with practical organisational discussions. Maybe "fundamental" discussions about the scope of the fosdem day are better held on this list.
