When will the program and list of speakers for Fosdem'09 be released?

Hi Matthias. We're working on it, but it'll still take some time before it's finalized. The call for devrooms and stands just met it's deadline yesterday, and the projects that will get a devroom manage their own schedule. Their deadline for sending in their schedule, speaker bios, talk abstracts will be three weeks before the event because they need a lot of time to get it done (coordinate with their community, speakers, budget, etc...). Nevertheless, the list of projects with a devroom at FOSDEM 2009 will be announced in one week from now. The call for lightning talks is still open, but the schedule should be announced a lot earlier than the devrooms because candidates are sending lightning talk topics upfront. Now, for the main tracks, we're currently in the process of contacting speakers, waiting for ACK/NACK and filling the schedule. Main track speakers will be announced as they confirm attending the event. Generally speaking, expect a very technical schedule that covers a very wide range of topics with FOSS projects, as we'll have something between 230 and 250 talks during the weekend, with 18 talks in parallel at all times (except during the opening talks and keynotes), hence I'm pretty sure that everyone who's interested in and possibly a contributor to FOSS will find a lot of worthy sessions to attend ;) hope this helps :) cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser <loki@fosdem.org> http://www.fosdem.org /\\ FOSDEM 2009 :: 7 + 8 February 2009 in Brussels _\_v Free and Opensource Software Developers European Meeting -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFJKW28r3NMWliFcXcRAiDCAKCaObjZuVA8+dCGWhQTjGGhtF6j7gCglGNR q3eyY9R8m8G7I+Rssac6KNg= =Mpbb -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
