Call for Presence: Devrooms and Stands
To help the community, FOSDEM sets up 'DevRooms' (Developer Rooms) where teams can meet and showcase their projects.
It is also a place where a team can discuss, code (hacking sessions), publicly present latest directions, tutorials, news and decisions.
The FOSDEM Team thinks it is very important that developers from around the world can meet 'in real life' and we believe projects can benefit from these meetings.
Common facilities such as network/internet connectivity and projectors are provided by us.
If your team wants to share experience and latest news or directions about your project, feel free to contact us to book a developer room.
Dear Free and Open Source Developers,
Dear Free and Open Source Project Leaders,
The 6th edition of FOSDEM (Free and Opensource Software Developers' European Meeting) will take place on February 25+26 2006 in Brussels (Belgium), at the Solbosch Campus of the ULB (Free University of Brussels).
FOSDEM is a free and non-commercial event for the community and organised by the community.
Its goal is to provide Free and Open Source developers and communities a place to meet to
get in touch with other developers and projects,
get informed about the latest developments in the Free and Open Source world,
attend to interesting talks and presentations held in large conference rooms by Free and Open Source project leaders and commiters on various topics,
and to promote the development and the benefits of Free and Open Source solutions.
As for being a free event, participation and attendance is totally free of charge (although we thankfully accept donations and sponsorship).
To help the community, FOSDEM sets up 'DevRooms' (Developer Rooms) where teams can meet and showcase their projects.
It is also a place where a team can discuss, code (hacking sessions), publicly present latest directions, tutorials, news and decisions.
The FOSDEM Team thinks it is very important that developers from around the world can meet 'in real life' and we believe projects can benefit from these meetings.
Common facilities such as network/internet connectivity and projectors are provided by us.
If your team wants to share experience and latest news or directions about your project, feel free to contact us to book a developer room.
What we need to know:
the name of the project/group (and maybe a short explanation about what it is all about),
the (expected) attending audience, as we have rooms with a capacity that goes from 50 to 280
We also need to know if you want the room for half a day or more, as we want to share the rooms between several teams if possible, so to provide that commodity to a largest possible number of projects.
Availability is
on Saturday from 13:00 to 17:30 (at 10:30 we have our opening talks, until 12:30)
on Sunday from 09:00 to 12:30, and from 13:00 to 17:30
Let us know what slot(s) suits you best.
You must send us a schedule for your DevRoom request to become effective (the deadline is usually two months before the event takes place - will be communicated in time).
That schedule is actually a list of speakers/subjects and public activities you're planning in the DevRoom. It will be printed in the FOSDEM folder that is handed out to visitors, printed on the DevRoom entrance and published on the website.
As we receive requests from many projects, please understand that we shall only give DevRooms to those who will make talks (or similar activities) and who will send us their schedule.
Teams can also contact us to get a booth (stand). We need to know whether you will need network connectivity, how many tables you need for your project, etc. You may use those to promote your project, sell stuff (posters, t-shirts, ...), hand out software/media, make demonstrations, or (almost) whatever comes to your mind, except marketing commercial, non-Free/OpenSource products. This is not intended as a commercial showcase, we're very strict about that.
More details about the event will be announced and published on the official FOSDEM website: http://www.fosdem.org
Further information about hotels, transportation, etc... will be available on the FOSDEM website as well as announced to you (if you send us a devroom or stand request).
If you're interested in booking a DevRoom or a stand or just having more information, please send us an e-mail to devrooms@fosdem.org
