Your Fosdem 2015 submission

[Andreas Thienemann]

Hello Alessio,

First of all, apologies for the delay in getting you this status update 
about your talk submission.
We had a lot of submissions to review and unfortunately real-life 
intruded more than expected.

You have submitted a talk proposal "NethServer: Simplify your CentOS!" 
for the Distribution Devroom at Fosdem 2015.
Thank you very much for your contribution and for helping make Fosdem an 
interesting conference.

I am sorry but I have to tell you that your talk offer has been declined 
for the distribution devroom.

We had a lot of excellent submissions and as we unfortunately only have 
two days of conference time some talks could not be accepted.

In your case we found that the description of your talk suggests a 
different audience than we are trying to reach with the distribution 
room.
The distribution devroom is aiming at the maintainers of Linux 
distributions and the toolset they use.
The NethServer project appears to be an interesting project and the use 
of CentOS as a base is an excellent showcase for the flexibility of free 
and open source software.
Unfortunately the NethServer product seems to be targeted at end-users 
and beginner-users with no or little Linux knowledge which does not 
match up with our aim of targeting the developers and maintainers of 
Free and Open-Source software.

As I had already indicated a while ago on IRC, I was a bit doubtful if 
we do have space for this talk and unfortunately at the end of the day 
it turns out we ran out of time. Again, I am very sorry we do not have 
better news for you. I do hope that you'll submit another talk next year 
at which point we'll hopefully be able to find space in the talk 
schedule for you.

Should you have any questions or comments you can contact the devroom 
organizers at distributions-devroom at lists.fosdem.org.

Cheers,
Andreas Thienemann on behalf of the Distribution Dev Room Program 
Committee
