Hello everyone, In moments of "wow, that was a colossal fsk up" I am writing to correct the speakers list as shown below. We will hear from Megan Sanicki on the topic "Be The Leader You Need in Open Source: Learn key skills to guide yourself and your project towards a healthy future". We have corrected the error in private communications with the impacted parties. Our apologies again to both Megan and Renu for the mistake.

Hello everyone,
== tl;dr == Accepted talks for the FOSDEM 2020 Community DevRoom at the end of this message, scroll down for "just the facts."
== In more detail == We had hoped to complete the online schedule for the FOSDEM Community DevRoom late last week, but have not had the opportunity to do so as we are still waiting on confirmations from a few speakers. Nonetheless, we wanted to give folks who were waiting to hear about the status of their proposal an update.
Please note that the schedule will be live and updated in Pentabarf so it published to the FOSDEM website [0]; this email is just for reference for those who may find it useful.
For those whose proposals were not accepted, we are sorry we were not able to welcome you as presenters this year. We had a record 78 proposals and only had time slots for 18 talks, so many excellent talks will not be airing in the DevRoom. We still hope that all of our would be speakers will feel welcomed to join us in the DevRoom. We will once again be offering all day community snacks and chocolate to all of our attendees.
Last but not least, the DevRoom program committee is very proud that we once again selected all of the sessions via blind reviews this year, which we started doing last year. If you are interested in learning more about how we do our blind reviews, you can find a little bit of information here in a blog post [1] written by Laura Czajowski and yours truly.
We would like to extend our deepest thanks to everyone who proposed a talk and our stalwart Program Committee team [2] for their hard work to select this year's round of talks. We look forward to seeing everyone at FOSDEM!
