[OSGeo-Discuss] FOSDEM 2015: proposal for a geospatial devroom

Cameron,

I've been thinking about doing a codesprint friday before the
conference (should we have devroom).With presentations in 15 parallel
sessions [1] in other rooms I think we will not attract anyone for a
codesprint during the conference.

I should also add that the technical level of most participants of
FOSDEM is *very* high (eg open source companies as Red Hat and Mozilla
fly in hordes of engineers). I think you are more likely to find new
developers for projects than translators. Or for OsGeo live packagers
(lots of debian developers are present).

For everyone reading this: this should be a very good reason to
present *your project or idea* there :-)
