FOSDEM will be held the 4th and 5th of February 2012 in Brussels, Belgium. As usual and for the 9th time there will be an embedded and mobile room.

For this years program we are looking for people who would like to do a presentation about their or their community's projects in this area.
These projects must be Free Software or Open Source.

So, finally, with some delay, here is the list of the devrooms that will be present on the schedule of FOSDEM 2012, in no particular order

Note that this obviously ends the call for devrooms.

At FOSDEM 2012, the Distribution Miniconf will be at its third iteration.

At FOSDEM we care strongly about open source projects small and large. FOSDEM was created as a meeting place where developers from different projects and with different backgrounds can come together and share ideas, discuss, etc.
The devrooms have always been premier place for this. However, in recent years we have reached the limit of our capacity, with more than double proposals over rooms available. Distributions have always had a strong presence at FOSDEM, however, we were faced with having to choose some distributions over others.

Holding the distro miniconf provides a way to better achieve our goals in two ways:

• by organizing a mini conference where all distributions can participate in, we foster collaboration and cross pollination,
• additionally, some rooms become available for use by other projects, thereby diversifying the audience and topics at FOSDEM.
