Hi Benny, hi all, first of all, let me say thanks for all the precious work you are doing behind the scenes for making this FOSDEM possible, it always feels so good to meet so many skilled people and learn from all of you! I'm writing because, after about 10 years attending FOSDEM as a user, I finally made the step to submit a proposal to the devroom you are coordinating. I can imagine that you received a ton of proposals for the Distributions DevRoom, and I was only wondering if I should just be patient and wait a bit longer for your feedback because you are still in the process of ranking and selecting the best options for your DevRoom, or if the reject of my proposal got lost in the process. My proposal was the one about Uyuni, an open source tool that can be used for managing and configuring several GNU/Linux distributions. Given that this is the first Uyuni talk at FOSDEM, I preferred to introduce Uyuni and how it can be used by someone focused on distributions that is also looking for a tool that can manage all of them. I didn't specify in the abstract what it is required for enabling a new distribution because I think that some initial knowledge on what the tool is and what someone can do with it should be a prerequisite for going into more technical view, but I can understand if you prefer to give the stage to a different proposal. https://pretalx.fosdem.org/fosdem-2025/talk/review/T7YCDCQFLXL8Y9BKPPVBMCZTG... Do you already know when you will communicate the decision about the submitted proposals?
From https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2024q4/003551.html it looks like that the speakers were supposed to get some info on 6 December. Of course, if you have any questions about my proposal, please, let me know.
Thanks again for all your work and see you in any case at FOSDEM!
