Unfortunately yes. And it is all my fault. This summer has been very<br>
busy dealing with sport club stuff and my own competitions/training<br>
which caused that I missed completely the early call for<br>
participation. By the time I noticed it (early last week), the<br>
deadline had passed. Despite the long tradition and my personal<br>
connection with FOSDEM in other ways, I did not feel it would be<br>
appropriate to pull some strings to see if it could be forced in<br>
anyway. It did not feel right compared to other projects/people<br>
arranging devrooms through the regular procedure.<br>
<br>
Otoh I was already thinking to stop with it after last year (as I have<br>
been involved in different ways for 16 years), but the plan was rather<br>
to make next year the final one for me and organize some hand-over.<br>
Well clearly that will not happen now. However anybody who would like<br>
to take over has my full support and is free to contact me to ask for<br>
help.<br>
<br>
I thus apologize for any disappointment and that due to me missing the<br>
deadline completely there was no chance for anybody else to take over<br>
for 2019. BOF rooms are afaik still open and main talks also. A number<br>
of devrooms have quite overlapping content also, so there should be<br>
room there too to submit talks. Although it is unfortunate the IOT<br>
room is not there for 2019 either.<br>
<br>
So I am sorry for this abrupt end of the embedded room (for now), and<br>
offer also a big thank you for everybody who has visited or made a<br>
presentation there.<br>
<br>
Philippe<br>
