First of all Jim Gettys, the Vice President of Software at OLPC, will speak about the One Laptop Per Child project during either the keynote or the closing talk. In the Desktop Applications track you will be able to hear Øyvind Kolås tell something aboutGimp GEGL (GEneric Graphics Library). Kristian Hogsberg will introduce you to the eye-candy of Aiglx. On the Security side we are glad to have H D Moore. He will have a talk about the Metasploit Framework. With ReactOS celebrating his 10th birthday, we couldn't resist to invite Aleksey Bragin for the Kernels track.

we'd like to join Jim Gettys'conference. We've initiated the Youth Flanking initiative to the OLPC. In may 2006, some 25 youth leaders from 15 EU countries gathered in Ankara-Turkey in a workshop on IT4YI - Information/internet Technologies for Youth Initiatives. Can you tell us when and where we might fit in to talk about our initiative? Among the projects initiated/worked on were: - Creation of a Free and Open Virtual Office for all Youth Initiatives on the Planet : http://it4yi-wiki.skn.wsinf.edu.pl/MainPage - the OLPC-Youth Flanking Initiative= One Laptop Per Child ... I guess you've heard about this. The MIT-Boston won a competition launched by Kofi Anan to make a 100 € computer. Here it is: wifi, can be powered by cranking ... open source, ....it's just great ... They are only available to governments... in orders of 1 million ... the first orders have been placed ... and will arrive by the end of 2006. Nice ... and what next? We want to kick-start with your help the Worlds first RealWorld and Virtual World Workshop with groups of youngsters from the first world and those first LOADS of youngsters from developing countries ... we have techniques to link remote villages the internet and we want to explain them, give workshops on all this for the better of humanity and contribute to the creation of World Peace. http://it4yi-wiki.skn.wsinf.edu.pl/YouthandtheOLPCinitiative - IT4YI = IT for Youth Initiatives... we programmed a set of tools that make a "Virtual Office", enabling working over the web. From the summer of 2006, all Youth Initiatives all over the World have free access to all these tools, can make websites in a couple of minutes... hosting is offered by a Polish University. Anyway... it's really cool and the project won a price by the EC and the DG 4 Education and Culture. We want your help to spread this news and learn Youth Leaders all over the Planet about this tool and push it to the United Nations: 1 open place where all youth initiatives can be mentioned and worked out, improved, ... we want to explain, give workshops on all this for the better of humanity and contribute to the creation of World Peace.

Hello Sven Unfortunately we can't plan one of your initiatives into the main tracks. But we do have a place where you could hold a speech, this place is called the Lightning Talks. These are talks of 15 minutes where projects can get the chance of presenting themselves to attract new developers. Soon there will be a call for papers concerning these talks. Keep an eye on the FOSDEM@lists.fosdem.org mailinglist (http://lists.fosdem.org) to get the mail.

Hello Ulrich, After each FOSDEM we discuss ideas about possible tracks for the upcoming year. Depending on these tracks we select projects that could fit into those tracks. Sincerely Yours -- Christophe Vandeplas cvandeplas@fosdem.org http://www.fosdem.org
