Dear All,
We love the mobile schedule apps!
You can find a list of apps we know about here:
https://fosdem.org/2013/schedule/mobile/
Do you know about more apps? More platforms? Tell us about it!
To thank the mobile app developers, and to stimulate the continued
development of the apps, we are offering a free FOSDEM t-shirt to the
mobile app developers!
Here is the deal:
- The app must work with the 2013 schedule (preferably pre-loaded)
- Must be open-source, with browseable sources
- Simple forks don't count, ports to other platforms do if build scripts
are available
- Only applicable to the developers that will be at FOSDEM in person
To get the t-shirt(s), the lead developer of the mobile app should
contact us on info(a)fosdem.org with the list of developers that will be
at FOSDEM and that have made a significant contribution to the project.
(We reserve the right to modify the conditions of the offer to avoid
abuse or clear out ambiguities.)
In name of FOSDEM,
Tias
This announcement on our website:
https://fosdem.org/2013/news/2013-01-20-mobile-schedule-apps/-
There is still time to submit main track presentations. The deadline
for proposing developer rooms has now passed. Please see our previous
call for participation for more information on submitting main track
proposals:
https://fosdem.org/2014/news/2013-08-06-call-for-participation/
We now also invite proposals for lightning talks and stands.
Lightning talks
Lighting talks are short - 15 minutes - talks on a wide variety of topics.
Anyone who has something interesting to say about an open source topic
can apply. We particularly encourage topics that do not fit in any of the
developer rooms.
Proposals for lightning talks should be submitted using Pentabarf:
https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM14
Please be sure to select "lightning talks" in the "track" field.
Questions or remarks? Contact us at lightningtalks(a)fosdem.org.
Stands
FOSDEM offers open source projects the opportunity to display their work
during the event. At their stand, a project can share information, demo
software, sell merchandise, give away goodies, and so on, and personally
interact with the visitors.
What we offer:
- one 180x80cm table, positioned in one of the buildings with developer
rooms, for the entire duration of the conference. In some cases, a
second table may be possible, if you have a good reason to need two.
- two chairs per table
- one power socket type C/E (if you require adapters or additional
sockets, please bring them yourself)
- fast uplink shared wireless Internet access
Further practical considerations:
- The offer for stands is open to open source projects and communities
- There is no cost or fee for the stands
- The stand should be occupied by at least two people for the duration of
the conference.
Submission details:
Send your request via email to stands(a)fosdem.org. Please include at
least the following information:
- Project name
- Stand description
- Project URLs
- Your name and relation to the project
- Why should FOSDEM accept this proposal?
- Optionally, if requesting two tables, motivation for the second table

FunKey Hotel is a newly opened hotel in Brussels. For FOSDEM 2014,
FunKey Hotel has decided to offer special prices for FOSDEM attendees,
with the intent of turning it into a hotel dedicated to FOSDEM attendees
during the first weekend of February.
Their offer includes the following:
* 25 Euro per bed, per night
* Breakfast
* Wireless network
* 24/7 snacking and beverages
* Free parking
* The use of their Chromebook laptops
* The use of their mobile phones (with unlimited calls in Belgium)
They have the following fully equipped rooms available:
* 9x 2-bed rooms
* 18x 3-bed rooms
* 7x 4-bed rooms
The offer of 25EUR/bed/night is valid for Friday and Saturday night. It
can be extended to Sunday if there are enough bookings.
Please try to book as groups of 2, 3, or 4 friends or colleagues. It is
also possible to book just one bed and share a room with people you
don't know.
If you are interested, all you have to do is send an e-mail to Guillaume
at guillaume(a)funkeyhotel.com, indicating:
* Your name(s)
* How many beds you wish to book
* If you wish to book both Friday and Saturday night, or only Saturday
night
* If you might be interested in staying Sunday night as well
People wishing to book both Friday and Saturday night have priority
until 2013-10-01. This means that Saturday night only bookings will only
be confirmed after this date. Bookings for both Friday an Saturday night
can be paid immediately and will be instantly confirmed.
Payment must be made in advance and is nonrefundable. Guillaume will
send you details on how to proceed after you have e-mailed him. You will
have the possibility of paying either online with Visa, MasterCard or
Bancontact (no American Express, Carte Bleue, Visa Electron or others)
or by IBAN.
If the hotel is sufficiently booked by FOSDEM attendees by 2013-11-01,
it will be declared a dedicated FOSDEM attendee hotel and bookings will
be permanently closed for non-FOSDEM attendees. FOSDEM guests will then
be able to use the common spaces of the hotel (breakfast room, meeting
rooms, ...) at their leisure during their stay, providing for a
convivial atmosphere and an unforgetable experience!

If you have any questions about this offer, please direct them to
Guillaume at guillaume(a)funkeyhotel.com.
Please note that this is an offer from a third party extended to FOSDEM
attendees. FOSDEM organisers have no relationship with FunKey. We only
forward their offer to our attendees.
All:
Hi... my name is Samantha and I am trying to finalize all of my companies
plans for FOSDEM and we are all first time attendees. We have been
selected to have a stand and the event and wanted to get some feedback on
what we should do with giveaways and staff for the stand.
We have a limited number of people in EMEA that can attend and I want to
make sure that i am using my resources as best as I can. If anyone has any
information they can help me with on this ... i would be forever thankful!
