FOSDEM - Schedule

Slides and videos online

chri — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 16:12:32 +0100

Two weeks after FOSDEM and we are proud to publish most of the slides and videos from this year's edition.

All of the material from the Lightning Talks has been put online. We are still missing some slides and videos from the Main Tracks but we are working hard on getting those completed too.

We would like to thank our mirrors: HEAnet (IE) and Unixheads (US) for hosting our videos, and NamurLUG for quick recording and encoding.

The videos from the Janson room were live-streamed during the event and are also online on the Linux Magazin site.

We are having some synchronisation issues with Belnet (BE) at the moment. We're working to sort these out.

Information Brochure available online

During the whole week-end visitors are invited to visit us at the FOSDEM Infodesk. There you'll get a bag that not only contains goodies and magazines, but also the information brochure containing the maps, and schedules of the event.

Many people also make a (small or generous) donation. Check the donation page to know what things you can win.

Oh, yes, download the brochure right now if you want: http://fosdem.org/2008/folder (8.7MB PDF)

Lightning Talks announcement

Mon, 04 Feb 2008 23:47:27 +0100

After receiving more then 70 lightning talk proposals, we had to make the hard choice of selecting 34 of them.

Here are the projects that got accepted: we grouped them in special 'thema hours'. Every hour consists of 3 talks: each 15 minutes with a 5 minute break in between.

Saturday, 14u - 15u: digital rights and restrictions (Openingtalk, EFF and OpenTC)
Saturday, 15u - 16u: profiling/scaling (IOGrind, ZapCat and Terracotta)
Saturday, 16u - 17u: digital knowledge (Dacco, Indywiki and Kettle)
Saturday, 17u - 18u: data management (Alfresco, Stylebase for Eclipse and Bongo)
Saturday, 18u - 19u: discoveries (OpenAFS, GGZ and Squaek)

Sunday, 09u20 - 10u: integrations (Cloudbridge and Sepia)
Sunday, 10u - 11u: virtuality (Ganeti, Open VM Tools and VIEW-OS)
Sunday, 11u - 12u: packaging (Hildon, Foresight and Polippix)

Sunday, 14u - 15u: 3 dimensions (Tangogps, Wir3d and K-3D)
Sunday, 15u - 16u: the web (Mysql Proxy, ArchetypeJS, Ajatus)
Sunday, 16u - 17u: future house (Minerva, Bluepad, Coherence)
Sunday, 17u - 18u: music time (Miro, XMMS2, Songbird)

Note that this schedule is tentative: as the projects will confirm their talk, the full information will be added to the schedule.

Main track Schedule published

chri — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 09:13:58 +0100

Some of you might have noticed it, but the Main Track Schedule is online.
We didn't announce it immediately as there were a few changes pending, but it should be OK now.

You will notice we have something special to close this FOSDEM edition. It it called The Endgame and will bring different known people together.
A few words to describe it: Fun, original, interactive, comic.

In the Web track Rogan Dawes will tell us something secure web-programming and the use of the OWASP WebScarab-NG web-auditing-tool.

Unfortunately we had to cancel the invitation for Nexuiz, but we did our best to fill it in with a very interesting and newsworthy Crystalspace3D . You have probably read quite some news lately about Peach and Apricot, a joint project between Blender and Crystalspace3D. Oh, yes it'll be Jorrit Tyberghein that will give this lecture.
