[FOSDEM] Accepted Talks for the FOSDEM Community DevRoom

[Leslie Hawthorn]

Hello everyone,

In moments of "wow, that was a colossal fsk up" I am writing to
correct the speakers list as shown below. We will hear from Megan
Sanicki on the topic "Be The Leader You Need in Open Source: Learn key
skills to guide yourself and your project towards a healthy future".

We have corrected the error in private communications with the
impacted parties. Our apologies again to both Megan and Renu for the
mistake.

Cheers,
LH
