Hello All, After a successful launch in 2018, we are excited to announce the *Tool the Docs *developer room *at FOSDEM 2019*! The developer room focuses on *free and open source tools for writing, managing, testing and rendering documentation*. It will run on *Saturday 2nd February *for half a day. *Why to present FOSDEM is one of the largest gatherings of Free Software contributors in the world and happens each year in Brussels (Belgium) at the ULB Campus Solbosch. In 2019, it will be held on Saturday, February 2nd, and Sunday, February 3rd. We are inviting proposals for talks on the subjects above, plus any related topics you think might fit into the room. *We welcome proposals from those working with tools for documentation as well as those creating and maintaining them.* This is a great opportunity to show new ideas and developments to a technical audience from a wide range of free and open source communities. *Please do keep in mind that product pitches are not allowed at FOSDEM.* *How to submit We are accepting talks of 20-30 minutes, with time for questions afterward. If you want less or more time, please let us know in your submission. All submissions have to be made in the Pentabarf event planning tool: penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM19 While creating your proposal, please provide the title of your talk, a short abstract (one or two paragraphs), some information about yourself (name, bio, and photo, but remember that your profile might be already stored in Pentabarf). *Getting started with Pentabarf 1. Don’t panic! 2. To submit your talk, click on “Create Event”, then select the “Tool the Docs” devroom as the “Track”. Otherwise, your talk can’t even be considered for a devroom at FOSDEM! 3. If you already have a Pentabarf account from a previous year, even if your talk was not accepted, please reuse it. Create an account if, and only if, you don’t have one from a previous year. If you have any issues with Pentabarf, please contact ode-devroom-manager at fosdem.org. *Deadline The *deadline is November 25th*, 2018. Accepted speakers will be notified by November 30th, 2018. *Recording Permission The *talks in the Tool the Docs developer room will be audio and video recorded*, and possibly streamed live too.
