18 Dec '14

According to the call for proposals https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2014-October/002045.html the final notifications were sent out on Monday. I had submitted a proposal for a talk on SDCC, the small device C compiler, but did not get any notification. In Pentabarf it says "undecided" for status. Has the notification date been changed?

Free Java DevRoom: Deadline Extended!
by Mario Torre 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

Dear Java Speakers! The deadline is approaching, but since we received a few very nice proposals but not enough to cover the DevRoom schedule, we decided to give everybody a chance and we will extend the deadline one week. We will accept talk proposals until Monday 7th December, 23:59 CET. This deadline will likely *not* be extended again, since we need to try to stay close to the 10th December deadline to allow selected speakers to book their flights and hotels! We're waiting forward for your proposals!

FLOSS Community Metrics Meeting as a co-located event to FOSDEM ?
by Jesus M. Gonzalez-Barahona 11 Dec '14

11 Dec '14

Hi all, We're organizing the FLOSS Community Metrics Meeting, Brussels edition, just the afternoon before FOSDEM. I wonder if it could be announced as a co-located event with FOSDEM, in its webpage. The ideas of FCM2 are quite in line with FOSDEM: free entry, technical discussions, combination of talks and people talking to each other. We would like to organize it as a part of FOSDEM, but given how difficult it is to get a devroom, we aimed for an independent, but related, event. In fact, for a couple of years, some of us organized the Research devroom at FOSDEM. It later evolved into a proposal for a devroom on metrics about free / open source development, which was not accepted for 2013. That was the reason why we aimed for organizing it somewhere else, and we found a venue in Porland, just the day OSCON started. With a similar idea, this year we aimed for renting a room in Brussels, and organizing it the day before FOSDEM. You can find some more info at: http://flosscommunitymetrics.org/ (still under construction), and about the Portland meeting at http://flosscommunitymetrics.org/2014/index.html Currently, the call for contributions is open. We're recommending registration, but mainly for space reasons (space is not cheap in Brussels, and it is limited for the meeting). So, do you think this could be advertised as a co-located event? Saludos, Jesus. -- http://twitter.com/jgbarah http://gsyc.es/~jgb
