I would be happy to help with whatever minimal time/resources I have. Demos and hands on hacking are a BIG YES. They linger on for longer time. I can make time for one demo app / use case.
I am a bit concerned about having it right after one conference gets over, keeping in mind the attention span and energy levels of people. Better option would be to have an "efl track" - http://fosdem.org/2012/call_for_devrooms But the deadline is already over : 2011-10-27: Deadline for devroom requests And of course, "the press" is important too - to ensure sufficient coverage.

For people coming in by plane or need to take some days off work it would be good to know early if it will happen. :) Lets see what we would need: PROGRAM: -------- o Presentations o Demos o Hands on hacking o Roadmap discussion This can all be prepared if date and location is fixed. If nobody else steps up I volunteer to organize the program part (please step up someone ;)). DATE: ----- o Two days following FOSDEM was suggested. o Makes sense as some people will already show up for FOSDEM and can just stay two days longer. o Other options? (Linuxcon in Barcelona could work but thats november) LOCATION: --------- o Biggest problem I would say. o What kind of facility would we need? o Conference hotel would be to expensive without sponsor. o Anyone knows some better facilities in Brussels? o Anyone living in Brussels or nearby who could take care of handling the location organization? Location is the hardest part. Without someone from Belgium, best directly in Brussels, who can handle this everything else would be mood. Sure, we might get a developer room at FOSDEM, but the chances are really small. Brainstorm and people power for the location is what we need now.
