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

Small projects, any chance ?
by Sanel Zukan 26 Dec '07

26 Dec '07

Hi to all, I was not able to find some official address to send this mail and hoping this mailing list will be sufficient for a small number of questions (if applicable). I'm a member/developer of Equinox project (http://equinox-project.org) and I/we tried to apply this year for a stand. Looks like the submisson was rejected and I was able to find out that only via announcement on the main web page (probably you got a lot of stand submissons this year and your team was not able to reply to all of them, or... your policy is not to reply at all ???) Looking from the presented list (http://www.fosdem.org/2008/stands) this year are welcome only The Big ones, which is pretty ok since they are warmly welcome everywhere. My question is: any way a small projects can get a chance to show/present themselves? Or, what are the prerequisites to be accepted (e.g. for a stand): large code base, large user base, large development team ? Or maybe popularity; the irony is that if you can't get presented yourself, popularity is affected too :P. I'm hoping you will not see these comments/questions as some kind of provocation since my intent is not to do so. Hopine some useful replies will come up :) Best, -- Sanel Zukan http://equinox-project.org

Call For Lighting Talk announcement
by Mattias 'Tias' Guns 22 Dec '07

22 Dec '07

Hello FOSDEM Fans, I am glad to announce the call for lightningtalks ! Lightning Talks are your 15 minutes of fame: every open source or free software project can apply for a lightning talk. During exactly 15 minutes, one person gets to present the project or an aspect of it. All Lightning Talks will happen in a large room that can host up to 300 people. Interested ? Read more at http://fosdem.org/2008/lightningtalks Note that there are some differences to last year: * A project can not have a lightningtalk if it was part of FOSDEM last year * Lightning Talks will be selected by the FOSDEM team, based on innovation and uniqueness And of course, it will be as great as last year, and even more fun : ) Greetings, Tias FOSDEM Lightning Talks

[Research devroom] Talk proposal on programming the ps3
by Olivier Grisel 15 Dec '07

15 Dec '07

Hi fosdemers, I would like to contact the team that manages the research devroom to submit a presentation / workshop proposal on howto to turn the PS3 as a cheap yet powerful SIMD computer using linux and other open source tools and libraries. As the concept of the room seems quite new, I would like to ask them about the relevance of the PS3 programming topic before starting to write an abstract. Regards, -- Olivier
