We are pleased to announce the Call for Participation in the FOSDEM 2014 Free Java DevRoom! This marks the 11th year that the Free Java DevRoom has been a part of FOSDEM. This year FOSDEM Free Java DevRoom will be Saturday the 1st of February 2014 in Brussels, Belgium, with usual additional events and meetings on Friday, Saturday and Sunday; please, refer to the FOSDEM website for the schedule of the whole event: https://fosdem.org/2014/ The Free Java DevRoom has become unique in that it has attracted hackers from very different Free Software Java projects, giving the opportunity to bring together companies of various sizes, different project communities, mainstream core Java developers, alternative Java language implementations and runtimes, and everything that form the Free Java Universe, everybody participating to share their knowledge in an atmosphere of cooperation and friendly competition. So much attention is given to porting various languages on the Java Virtual Machine and porting the JVM on new platform (arm64?) and context (cloud?), so join us to discuss this year's theme: "JVM melting pot".
