FOSDEM offers open source and free software developers a place to meet, share ideas and collaborate. Renowned for being highly developer-oriented, the event brings together some 5000+ geeks from all over the world. The seventeenth edition will take place on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th February 2017 at the usual location: ULB Campus Solbosch in Brussels. Main Tracks ----------- Previous editions have featured main tracks centered around security, operating system development, community building, and many other topics. Presentations are expected to be 50 minutes long and should cater to a varied technical audience. The conference covers reasonable travel expenses agreed in advance and arranges accommodation for accepted main track speakers if needed. We will record and stream all main tracks live. The recordings will be published under the same licence as all FOSDEM content (CC-BY). If, exceptionally, there is a reason why your presentation should not be streamed or recorded, you must seek our agreement before submitting it. Proposals for main track presentations should be submitted using Pentabarf: https://fosdem.org/submit. If you already created an account in the system for a previous edition, please reuse it rather than re-registering. This year, submissions will be reviewed in two batches, beginning with those received by 10 October. The final deadline is 31 October. Questions or remarks? Contact us at prog...@fosdem.org.

A second table is possible in a few cases, but the pressure on space means this is becoming increasingly rare and needs strong justification.
