[Mageia-discuss] Fwd: [FOSDEM] Call for stands, devroom talks and lightning talks

Tue Nov 22 09:52:57 CET 2011

Hi guys,
+
+FOSDEM is calling! (4-5 February, in Brussels, Belgium)
+
+And this will be the time:
+ - we meet Europe-wide (and more);
+ - we can handle a booth to demonstrate Mageia;
+ - lots of cool people and cool talks happen to happen;
+ - we hold our annual general assembly (with a moral and financial report);
+ - 1/3rd of the board is renewed - there are 6 board members, so that
+makes for 2 people to be elected among current Council members; see
+https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Org#Mageia_Board
+ - council should be re-elected (that is, team leaders re-elected).
+
+So.
+ - who will be there? (I will)
+ - who would like to act there as a Mageia member? (booth, conference)
+ - what do we need?
+
+Romain

+
+Dear Hackers,
+
+We hereby invite any and all open source projects to participate in
+FOSDEM 2012 by manning a stand for the weekend, by giving a talk in a
+devroom or by giving a 15 minute talk in our lightning talk room.
+
+See http://fosdem.org/2012/call-for-participation
+on how to submit proposals.
+
+
+* Manning a stand
+We offer open source projects a place for a stand in the hallways.
+Stands can be used to share information, demo software, sell
+merchandising, give away goodies and so forth.
+Stands allow projects to present themselves to the visitors in a more
+personal fashion.
+
+See http://fosdem.org/2012/call-for-stands for more details
+
+
+* Talking in a devroom
+We will be hosting 25 (!) different devrooms, covering a broader
+spectrum of the open source landscape than any year before.
+
+The accepted devrooms are: Ada -- BSD licensed operating systems --
+Configuration and Systems Management -- Cross Desktop -- Distribution
+Miniconf -- Embedded -- Free Java -- Graph Processing -- Hardware
+Security and Cryptography -- JBoss.org -- Legal Issues -- LibreOffice
+-- Mono -- Mozilla -- Multiserver -- microkernel-based operating
+systems -- MySQL and Friends -- Open Mobile Linux -- Open Source Game
+Development -- Open Source Telephony -- Open Source Virtualization and
+Cloud -- Perl -- PostgreSQL -- Smalltalk -- World of GNUstep -- X.org
+and OpenICC
+
+See http://fosdem.org/2012/call-for-participation for the list of
+announcements or contact devrooms at fosdem.org for a contact address.
+
+
+* Lightning talks
+We have a special lightning talk room for all remaining open source
+projects that do not fit in any of the devrooms.
+Lightning talks are short 15 minute focussed talks in which one person
+gets to present the project or an aspect of it.
+
+See http://fosdem.org/2012/call-for-lightningtalks for more details.
+
+
+FOSDEM is organized by and for the community, non-commercial and
+highly developer-oriented. Its goal is to provide Free and Open Source
+developers a place to meet.
+Now is the time to become part of it.
+
+The FOSDEM organizers.
