Hi Kern, Over the last year or better there has been a large movement to bring the developer community in my area together. The format of the get togethers has been modeled after barcamp.org's unconferences. Everyone is allowed/required to contribute. >From reading the "About FOSDEM" page, it sounds like this a little more conference then unconference, but I think one thing still applies: geeks, developers, or whatever you want to call people like us like to see the product and probably won't appreciate a long slide show as much as a demo. So if you're looking for an opinion, at that's all this is, I would recommend presenting Bacula via demonstration rather than presentation. Remember, many of us suffer from NADD -- http://www.randsinrepose.com/archives/2003/07/10/nadd.html. Of course, if FOSDEM mandates that you give a presentation, then you're set.
