FOSDEM 2009 Announcement
FOSDEM 2009 will take place at at the Université Libre de Bruxelles, in Brussels on the 7/8. Feb 2009.
This page is for organizing GNUstep's participation in the event. This includes the organization of a developer meeting the Friday before FOSDEM.
Note: this year we will have a joint devroom for GNUstep + Etoilé + OpenGroupware.org but no stand/booth since running a stand consumes a lot of effort and there were complaints about the split up of folks between the devroom and the stand in the years before (and until now less people than in the years before have confirmed an attendance at FOSDEM this year)
Organizers
- Lars Sonchocky-Helldorf
- t.b.d.
Who will attend FOSDEM
One of the main reasons people attend the event is that you can meet, and talk directly to, other developers, whom you would otherwise meet only virtually (on mailing lists, emails, newsgroups, IRC etc.). We expect many lead developers and contributors to be present, so if you have never met them, you shouldn't miss this occasion!
The following is a list of people of GNUstep fame who have confirmed (or denied) that they will be able to join us at the GNUstep meeting at FOSDEM 2009:

Note: Does anyone have a projector for the talks? The FOSDEM organisation will gives us one if needed, but having our own would be more convenient (if only to have a good one, remember last year)
