Hi everybody!
I just mailed every speaker separately telling them their explicit time for
the talk. The time is identical to what I proposed in my last mail. Just for
your information I will again paste the schedule and behind this the text of
the mails sent (though leaving out the timeslot as well as the topic since
those were the only thing speaker dependent in the mails...).

The (most likely final) schedule:


09:00 - 09:10 - Welcome to the devroom (Nils Kneuper (Ivanovic); time to get
stuff started and working!)

09:10 - 09:55 - Xonotic: The road to 1.0 (Merlijn Hofstra)

5 min break

10:00 - 10:45 - Anatomy of a role playing game (Arthur Huillet)

10min break

10:50 - 11:35 - Data-Driven and Component-Based Game-Entities (Thomas Kinnen)

5min break

11:40 - 12:25 - The Dynamic Data Driven Worlds of WorldForge (Alistair Riddoch)

10min break

12:30 - 13:15 - Pandora - a mobile Linux computer including gaming controls. A
short introduction and explanation of its long history and development.

10min break

And here is the mail I composed to each of the speakers listed above:

Does anyone have any questions left? Yes, the real organization of "how to do
stuff during FOSDEM" still has to (and will) follow. The most urgent part for
the moment is the exact schedule so that I can eventually tell the FOSDEM
folks who will speak at which time (for the booklet listing the talks).
Cheers,
