FOSDEM 2012 Announcement
FOSDEM 2012 will take place at at the Université Libre de Bruxelles, in Brussels on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 February 2012.
This page is for organizing GNUstep's participation in the event. This includes the organization of a developer meeting the Friday before FOSDEM.
Organizer(s)
- Lars Sonchocky-Helldorf (lars dot sonchocky dash helldorf at hamburg dot de)
- is somebody else interested in lending me a hand?
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 2012:
| Name | Friday

Dev-Room Presentations and Events
The room at out disposal will be AW1.126 (capacity is 72 seats (this is more than twice of what we had the years ago); in the building "AW"), -- on Saturday 2011-02-04 from (to be confirmed) 11:00 to 19:00
Call for participation
We are looking for people who want to give a talk, moderate a discussion, hold a hand ons (practice) / hacking session or organize a code sprint. Please send your proposals to GNUstep discussion list, the organizers mentioned above or - if you've got a wiki account - enter them right here. At first a title, a short summary, proposed duration and a preffered time slot would do, so we can start scheduling as soon as possible.
deadline for filing is t.b.d., deadline for the papers is t.b.d.
Note: The FOSDEM organizers strongly recommend a granularity of 15 minute blocks. So if a talk is just 15 (lightning talk), 30 or 45 minutes long - fine! But we should have 15 minutes breaks between the talks so that the visitors have enough time to find a seat and the presenters have enough time to get ready.
List of submitted talk/discussion/session proposals
Please submit through *GNUstep discussion list* until *2011-12-31*
Wishlist for talks/discussions/sessions
Enter talks/discussions/sessions here you would be interested in.
- GNUstep Progresses and Roadmap
- CoreBase and CoreGraphics/Opal in GNUstep
