Dear friends and fans of free tools and editors everywhere,
Next year's FOSDEM (the free and open source developer's
meeting in Brussels, Europe) will for the very first time
feature a track dedicated to developers and users of free
tools and editors:
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
We therefore invite developers and users of free tools and
editors of all kinds to participate in this track and present
your projects, roadmaps, demos, hacks, and codes. At FOSDEM,
we hope to network all these projects and improve
collaboration, bring new ideas forward, and get more
people involved.
To suggest a talk, go to the following location:
https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM19
...and follow the instructions (you need an account, but can
use your account from last year if you have one). You
need to create an 'Event’; make sure it's in the "Free Tools
and Editors devroom”. Lengths aren’t fixed, but please
give a realistic estimate and please don't exceed
30 minutes unless you have something special planned (in
that case, contact one of us). Also, don't forget to include
time for Q&A. We will typically go for 30-minute slots
-- shorter talks, unless they're really short, usually tend to
mess up the schedule too much.
You aren't limited to slide presentations, of course — in
fact, we hope you’ll focus on code. Be creative. However,
FOSDEM is an open source conference, therefore we ask you to
stay very clear of marketing presentations and focus on
presenting something relevant to free/open software. We like
nitty-gritty technical stuff.
Topics discussed in this devroom can relate to any programming
language, and focus on:
* Libraries and frameworks
* Code generators
* Code editors
* Visual tools
IMPORTANT DATES
FOSDEM is February 2nd and 3rd, 2019.

soon!
