Call for participation at FOSDEM
We invite any and all open source projects to participate in FOSDEM 2013 with a talk in a devroom, a lightning talk or by manning a stand.
Main track talks
The main tracks host high-quality seminars for a broad and technical audience. They are held in the two biggest auditoria and last 50 minutes. Each of the talks is given by a speaker who gets their travel and accommodation costs reimbursed.
The call for main track talk has been closed.
Stands
Stands are places in the hallways that can be used to share information, demo software, sell merchandising, give away goodies and so forth. They allow projects to present themselves to the visitors in a more personal fashion.
To apply, see the call for stands, deadline extended to Saturday, 15 December 2012
Lightning Talks
Lightning talks are aimed at projects that do not fit in one of the devrooms listed below. During exactly 15 minutes, one person gets to present the project or any aspect of it. All the lightning talks happen in a large room that can host up to 300 people.
To apply, see the call for lightning talks, deadline extended to Friday, 21 December 2012
Devrooms
A devroom is a developer room
in which open source communities can organize
their own schedule, made of presentations, brainstorming and hacking sessions.
Our goal is to stimulate developer collaboration and cross-pollination between
projects.
If an announcement is missing, ask devrooms@fosdem.org for the contact address.
