Hi Hope everyone had a good Christmas :) I was wondering whether it might be possible to include this link somewhere in the Fosdem site... http://wikitravel.org/en/Brussels this is an extremely useful web page with all of the info that people need. I think it's also available in several languages ? -- Richard www.sheflug.org.uk

In previous years, a minimum donation was specified. Is these a suggested figure for this year? -- Colin(a)spudulike.me.uk Gotta go, things to be, people to do, and stuff to, err, stuff.

CfP: Research Room @ FOSDEM: Libre software as a matter of research
by Jesus M. Gonzalez-Barahona 15 Dec '06

15 Dec '06

[Please, forward to interested people] Call for Participation Research Room @ FOSDEM: Libre software as a matter of research E pur si muove (And yet it moves) http://libresoft.urjc.es/Activities/fosdem2007 Joint workshop on "libre software research meets libre software developers", sponsored by the QUALOSS, SQO-OSS, QUALIPSO, FLOSSMETRICS and FLOSSWorld EU-funded projects The workshop will take place in the Research Room in the next FOSDEM, to be held on Brussels next February 24th and 25th 2007. Libre (free, open source) software development has been gaining attention from the research community during the last years. Currently, many research groups are focused on understanding, and trying to improve, the practices, procedures and products of the libre software development community. This research is starting to produce a new view on many aspects of the classical software engineering paradigms. In fact, if the lessons shown in most classical software engineering texts were applied to almost any libre software development project, it should be concluded that it was headed to failure. And yet it moves... Libre software is showing a new way of organizing software development projects, in forms that make success possible under circumstances previously thought to be unmanageable. In this context, the relationship between research groups focused on understanding libre software, and software development groups actually producing libre software, can be of great interest for both parties. FOSDEM, probably the largest meeting point for libre software developers in Europe, provides an opportunity for this contact and exchange of ideas. The idea of the Research Room at FOSDEM is to explore the opportunities of this exchange, and what happens when developers and researchers are put together in the same (physical) space. Therefore, we're asking for contributions both from researchers and developers, on the following topics (the list is not exhaustive): * What developers feel could be useful from research on libre software * Feedback from the developer community to researchers * Experiences of developers and researchers working together * Results of applying research methodologies and analysis to libre software projects * Results (including expected results) of research projects studying libre software * What can the research community offer to libre software development * Methodologies and techniques that could be used to address specific problems in libre software development Although academic presentations are welcome, other, more informal (and maybe provocative) contributions are also encouraged. The main target is to have a good collection of ideas and experiences to foster discussion and interaction. Those interested in contributing are invited to submit a short paper in PDF format, summarizing the intended contents of the presentation (probably two or three pages are enough, but no paper will be rejected for being too long). It should provide enough information to let the organizing committee decide on its appropriateness for the workshop, and the potential interest for participants. * Deadline for submissions: January 22rd 2007 * Notification of acceptance: January 31st 2007 * Workshop dates: February 24th (afternoon) and 25th (morning) 2007 Submissions should be sent to all three addresses below, by the deadline: * Jesus M. Gonzalez-Barahona - jgb at gsyc.escet.urjc.es * Israel Herraiz - herraiz at gsyc.escet.urjc.es * Gregorio Robles - grex at gsyc.escet.urjc.es Accepted papers will be published on-line, after letting authors provide more complete versions, if they want. Organizing committee (alphabetical order, tentative list)]: * Jean-Christophe Deprez (CETIC, Belgium) * Roberto Di Cosmo (University of Paris VII, France) * Rishab Ghosh (MERIT, Nederlands) * Jesus M. Gonzalez-Barahona (Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Spain) * Israel Herraiz (Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Spain) * Stefan Koch (Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration, Austria) * Gregorio Robles (Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Spain) * Diomidis Spinellis (Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece) * Martin Michlmayr (University of Cambridge, UK) The Research Room at FOSDEM is sponsored by the following projects (although the meeting is completely open to anyone interested): * FLOSSMETRICS * QUALOSS * SQO-OSS * QUALIPSO * FLOSSWORLD All these projects are funded in part by the European Commission, under the Information Society Technologies (IST) research programme of the Sixth Framework Program. A list of the IST projects in the area of Software Technologies is available from http://cordis.europa.eu/ist/st/projects.htm

Call For Lightning Talks

from the FOSDEM website: <http://www.fosdem.org/2007/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 almost 300 people. Interested in applying ? Don't waste any time and read more before all places are taken. You can apply for a lightning talk if you comply with the following conditions: * Every project can only have one lightning talk. * The project may not have a Developer Room at FOSDEM. * A lightning talk is given by one person. * The travel expenses of Lightning Talk speakers are not covered by FOSDEM. * We won't send official invitations either. (needed sometimes for international visa) * All Lightning Talks will be recorded. The recordings will be made available freely, shortly after the event. Also note that in order to be granted a lightning talk, you will have to follow these rules: * A fixed computer is used for all presentations: the speaker must send in his presentation before Thursday 12th February, 23h59. * The following software will be available on the computer: firefox, xpdf 3, acroread 7, openoffice.org 2. (Other software can be requested, but may not be granted) * The speaker must attend the lightning talk of the speaker before him, in order to guarantee a smooth switch between speakers. * A speaker is given exactly 15 minutes time. There will be a clock that indicates the time that the speaker has left. When the clock rings, the speaker may not speak another word. If you are interested in doing a lightning talk, then send an email to lightningtalks(a)lists.fosdem.org with following information: Your full name (you being the speaker) and country of origin * The name and website of the project * A short description of the project * A short description of what your lightning talk will be about. * A short bio, especially regarding your FOSS activities. * Optionally, a photo of yourself. The lightning talks schedule information will be published on the FOSDEM website, including the information above. Lightning talks are handled on a "first received, first handled" basis, so don't wait too long to apply. The final lightning talk schedule will be published on the website on the 27th of January.
