FOSDEM in Brussels in on the radar and we should make plans. The event takes place 23th and 24th february 2008.

I exchanged some mails with Daniel Seuffert from the FreeBSD group in Germany, he will try to get a devroom, which will get shared by BSD and PostgreSQL. If this venture is successful, we have to come up with a plan for proposed talks.

Back in June, the time i wrote my initial mail, i got responses which made me think, we will have enough talks to fill in our slots. Thats good, because without this responses we did not had to plan about a devroom at all. But most answers was about "i can give a talk about ...", but no exact theme names. A talk about 8.3 would be nice, as example.

So anybody who wants to give a talk in our devroom at FOSDEM please send me some more details along with the title, description and the info, in which category you would put your talk. I will collect the informations and both forward them to Daniel and summarize them here.

By the way, we will try to get a booth in any case so we could need some hands for help.

Thanks & kind regards
