Devrooms are 'developer rooms' in which open source communities can organize their own schedule, made of presentations, brainstorming and hacking sessions. Our goal is to stimulate developer collaboration and cross-pollination between projects.
It is our pleasure and honor to announce that the following projects and topics have been granted a devroom at FOSDEM 2013:
Both Days
---------
* Cross Distro
* CrossDesktop
* Embedded and Mobile
* Free Java
* Legal Issues
* Mozilla
Saturday
--------
* Apache OpenOffice
* Community development and Marketing
* FOSS for scientists
* Graph Processing
* Jabber/XMPP
* Microkernels / Component-based OSes
* Mono
* PHP and Friends
* Testing and Automation
* The Wine Project
* Virtualization
* X.org
Sunday
------
* Ada
* BSD
* Cloud
* Configuration/Systems Management
* Cross Distro
* LibreOffice
* MySQL & Friends
* NOSQL
* Open Source Game Development
* PostgreSQL
* Python
* Smalltalk
* Telephony
In the coming weeks, they will announce their call for talks on various mailinglists (including this one). We will collect them on our website as well.
We will also open our call for stands (a place in the hallway) and lightningtalks (15 minute talks) in the coming week.
On behalf of the FOSDEM program team,
Tias

Yes. I would have had one nice talk about progress of SWK and one
about reverse engineered OSX compatible Distributed Objects. Both are
topics that could best be presented in a talk&discussion.
My impression is that they have less rooms than in the past and some
topics have become more generic, i.e. not projects get a room but topics
(Distro, Desktop, Embedded, Mobile, Legal, Community, Scientists, Microkernel, ...).
Anyways, how can we deal with it? I don't see any other devroom we could
make proposals for talks. Except "Smalltalk". Should we try to flood them
with proposals for talks :)
Or we must do what many other projects are doing: organize our own
conference[s] (hackathons, AlpenSTEP, ...). I have no idea if it is possible
to get a conference room @ some hotel @ Brussels @ friday before
FOSDEM. Is there someone from Belgium here on this list and could
try to find out?

I don't think they'd be against one or two talks.

Getting a separate conference room is bound to be pricey. Perhaps a local university would be willing to provide some space (a classroom), to lower the costs?

Hi Lars,
Thanks for your efforts.
Can you say anything about the selection criteria?
We have enjoyed FOSDEM presence since the beginning so I am interested
to know why the organizers are giving preference to others. What can we
do to make our project have greater value for FOSDEM?
These people are putting in a tremendous effort at organizing, finding
sponsors, volonteers and I really appreciate their efforts. It has
always been a highlight for me to meet other people interested in
GNUstep each year at FOSDEM.
One thing that comes to mind is the often difficult access to our code
within various distributions /OSs. The code which is available has often
been in a frustrating state where getting the code up and running.
Are reviewers finding it difficult and time-consuming?
What are the FOSDEM organizers looking at?
We have even had the support of Richard Stallman for our project, so I
am still convinced GNUstep has strategic value for Free Software.
What are the other projects doing that presents them as being a better
investment for their time and resources than our project?
Can we set a priority to fill in the gaps to again meet their
standards?
I have great admiration for the current and past contributors to GNUstep
and the overall quality of work. We have had investments from Google
summer of code for a number of contributions, so technically, I have no
doubt as to the value of the produced code.
The current efforts to creating debian packaging that is more current is
a good move in the right direction (big thanks to all contributors).
Would more automatic regression tests be of help to get better ratings?
Any thoughts and suggestions would be most welcome.
Would it be appropriate for us to graft ourselves onto the Testing and
Automation group (Saturday) or the Configuration / Systems Management
group (Sunday) this year?
What is the interest to organize a meeting nearby to FOSDEM?
I really want to see GNUstep at FOSDEM again.
All comments and suggestions welcome.
Thanks,
Gerold

I had submitted a request for a devroom for another project and got almost
verbatim the same answer. There is no clear statement about rules, except:
>>> Our goal is to stimulate developer
>>> collaboration and cross-pollination between projects.
So I think a single project or even several has lower chances than a "topic".
And, available space is always an important criterion.

I think with these criteria mentioned above, we can do nothing. We can't transform
our project into a "general topic". We can only organize our own "mini-conference".

Well, from the organizer's viewpoint we can still do that. Just not in a devroom
provided by them.

I don't think they are looking into any code.

Yes, but it is one of >20 (or more) strategic projects. I don't see any other FSF project
on the list of the accepted devrooms (I may have missed it).

They address a broader audience. Look, not even Debian or Fedora
has its own devroom. They have to share "Cross Distro".
FOSDEM has simply grown faster than the audience of our project...

FOSDEM does IMHO only look into importance of a topic for mankind.

This has crossed over with my other proposal for getting a conference
room @ some hotel nearby :)

And I want to meet the GNUsteppers during FOSDEM time :)

We could also try to look at youth hostels or charity groups etc. Sometimes they have low-budget meeting rooms.
Finally, there could turn up someone who makes a donation :)
But this needs help from someone living in Belgium or even better in Brussels.

Reading the posts again, maybe we could try to fit into the CrossDesktop devroom?
One thing we could use is interaction with FreeDesktop.org and Canonical. Ubuntu's global menus system integration would be helpful, as well as better integration with window managers for the document architecture apps. FOSDEM is probably a good place to interact with people who could push for proper standardization of global menus and document windows.
Fitting some talks into the CrossDesktop room to demonstrate what kind of help we need in order to more easily enhance the experience of AppKit-based apps would probably be good in getting people to see GNUstep as another place where useful enhancements happen in free desktop. Specifying related URLs for a window on the X11 level in FreeDesktop, and then having other window managers make use of this URL, would probably be something people could get behind.

Hi,
I absolutely miss AlpenSTEP 2012.. we didn't organize it yet: it would
provide time to clean-up SWK.. just enough to present it better, but
also work on other GUI and APP related topics.
It is a good idea to add a "general" meeting day for others and/or just
invite others.

I would be happy to host such an event in Cambridge. It's easy to get to from anywhere with a Eurostar connection (change at King's Cross and then 45 minutes more on the train) and over either Easter or the summer we can get college accommodation relatively cheaply.

And don't forget to mention Stansted airport, which is just 30 minutes

by train away!
A meeting in Cambridge sounds very attractive to me. But then I am
biased here, having worked there for a few years.

my talk has been rejected. So sad.
What about the idea to organize our own meeting room in a hotel?

Maybe:

But is nobody from Belgium on this list who could organize that a little?

I'm going to be giving a talk about Étoilé in the Smalltalk DevRoom (and would like to get some demos working before then, so spending some time making Quentin fix bugs is probably useful) and hopefully a talk in the BSD DevRoom.
I was thinking of booking a room in the Argus, arriving Friday and leaving Monday morning (to spend a couple of days in Lille on the way back). Does the Argus have a sensible lobby or meeting room that we could use (I've not stayed there before, but it seems to be the place GNUstep people are booking?).
Arriving around lunch time on Friday also sounds easy for me. What do people think about Big Mama for dinner again on either Friday or Sunday evening?
