Hi all, I also asked last year and someone stepped up to create a poster, so this year I will ask it again :) Is someone willing to create a flyer/poster for FOSDEM 2008? Since I am really bad at designing these things nicely, I do not volunteer.. Cheers, -- Adriaan Peeters

Profoss virtualisation on 22 and 23 January in Brussels.
by Christophe Vandeplas 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

Profoss is organizing an event about virtualisation on 22 and 23 January in Brussels. Profoss is a rather complementary event to FOSDEM, as it wants to spread relevant and objective information about the use of Free and Open Source software in Professional environments. Profoss wants to help you deploy Free and Open source successfully in the enterprise. The first day is dedicated to the business impact of virtualization, the second day will take a close look at technical aspects. All speakers are specialists with a proven track record in virtualization: * Frank Kohler, Virtualization project manager for SuSE * John Abbott, chief analyst at The 451 Group * Mike Kreiten, Product manager workstation and server at AMD * Duncan Hardie, Solaris Product Manager at Sun * Kris Buytaert, co-author of Virtualization with Xen * Tarry Singh, virtualization advisor and Avastu CEO * Kristof De Spiegeleer, Q-Layer CEO * Herbert Poetzl, project leader of Linux-VServer * Niko Nelissen, VP Business development Q-Layer * Mattias Rechenburg, OpenQRM project manager * Werner Fischer, Developer and OpenVZ specialist Being close to FOSDEM and the Free and Open Source communities, organizers also want to support FOSDEM: each person registering for the Profoss event with the promo code FOSDEM will get 10% discount and Profoss will also give 20% of his/her registration cost back to FOSDEM.

Re: [FOSDEM] Linux Show Presentation

> Hello, > > I met Xavier De Blas, the developer of Chronojump(1) at the "Trophées du libre" the international free software contest(2). He presents an amazing conference called "Linux Show" since 2001. > > More info here : > http://www.xdeblas.com/linuxshow/ > http://www.xdeblas.com/cgi-bin/ascodewiki?reviews > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5J6XtSgStGs > > I think, it should be great to invite him to FOSDEM. > I was the organizer of a event here in Spain some years ago and we hired him, what a big error. At least when we did, he asked for an incredible amount of money (I can't remember but it was a lot, for what he does...), he also wanted to be treated like a rock star (aside from the money he wanted his room to be paid as well..) So, the point is, it's just a show, yes, but is it worth it? From my point of view and taking into account what I saw, no. Maybe he has changed his cache and his behaviour, let us know what happens! All the best, Manuel
