Call for FOSDEM'09 participation

[Daniel Seuffert <DS%praxisvermittlung24.de@localhost>]

Dear people,

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.


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.

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.

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.
