We now invite proposals for developer rooms.<br>
<br>
FOSDEM offers open source and free software developers a place to meet,<br>
share ideas and collaborate. Renowned for being highly<br>
developer-oriented, the event brings together some 8000+ geeks from all<br>
over the world.<br>
<br>
The tweny-first edition will take place Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th<br>
February 2021, online.<br>
<br>
Developer rooms are assigned to self-organising groups to work together<br>
on open source and free software projects, to discuss topics relevant to<br>
a broader subset of the community, etc. Most content should take the<br>
form of presentations. Proposals involving collaboration across project<br>
or domain boundaries are strongly encouraged.<br>
<br>
For obvious reasons we will unfortunately not be able to run a live<br>
conference this year, but we still want to give communities a place to<br>
meet online.<br>
<br>
We are working on a an online platform (streaming + chat) allowing<br>
devroom organizers to run the conference with prerecorded talks with<br>
live qa and live presentations with streaming and archiving. The<br>
recordings will be published under the same licence as all FOSDEM<br>
content (CC-BY)<br>
<br>
Developer room proposals should be submitted through the form at<br>
<a href="https://fosdem.org/devroom" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://fosdem.org/devroom</a> which contains further information.<br>
<br>
Questions or remarks? Contact us at <a href="mailto:devrooms@fosdem.org" target="_blank">devrooms@fosdem.org</a>.<br>
<br>
Key dates:<br>
<br>
31 October - deadline for developer room proposals<br>
<br>
10 November - accepted developer rooms announced<br>
<br>
15 November (or earlier) - developer rooms issue Calls for<br>
Participation<br>
<br>
31 December (or earlier) - developer rooms publish complete schedules<br>
<br>
<br>
Note that the demand for devrooms may exceed the supply (even for an<br>
online event). By applying for a devroom you are making a commitment to<br>
fill the schedule.<br>
<br>
Devroom coordinators must enter a complete schedule into our conference<br>
system by 31st December. It is particularly important to be available<br>
and to respond promptly to emails about the schedule for about a week<br>
either side of this date.<br>
<br>
As we also run this event online for the first time, we would like to<br>
get your input on what duration would be good for a devroom: one whole<br>
day, or rather two afternoon sessions?<br>
<br>
Please indicate whether you would prefer Saturday, Sunday or both days.<br>
Please let us know what according to you would be an interesting<br>
timespan for your devroom: eg one long slot on Saturday or rather two<br>
shorter slots on Sunday.<br>
