Taking place in the > beautiful city of Brussels (Belgium), FOSDEM is widely recognised as the > best such conference in Europe. FOSDEM covers a wide spectrum of free > and open source software projects, and offers a platform for people to > collaborate. To this end, FOSDEM has set up developer rooms (devrooms) > with network/internet connectivity and projectors where teams can meet > and showcase their projects. Devrooms are a place for teams to discuss, > hack and publicly present latest directions, lightning talks, news and > discussions. Besides developer rooms, FOSDEM also offers main tracks, > lightning talks, certification exams and project stands. Every year, > FOSDEM hosts more than 5000 developers at the ULB Solbosch campus. > Participation and attendance is totally free, though the organisers > gratefully accept donations and sponsorship. No registration necessary. > > About the devroom > > Since its inception in 2012 the Microkernel devroom has been part of > each FOSDEM conference. It has become a sort of an institutionalized > tradition since then. To this date over a dozen projects have > participated in one way or another, delivering forty talks and other > contributions in total. The goal of the Microkernel devroom has been to > bring the various projects together and let them share ideas, > cross-pollinate and socialize. Each year the devroom is organized by one > of the projects based on a system of rotating presidency from the pool > of projects that opt in. In 2016 it is HelenOS' turn again. > > Social events > > It has become a tradition that the microkernel projects dine together > somewhere in downtown Brussels after the devroom closes. The year 2016 > will not be any different, so there is going to be a microkernel family > dinner on Saturday night. The exact location and time will be specified > later. Consult the FOSDEM web and other projects for additional social > events such as the famous FOSDEM-organized Friday Beer Event and the > FOSDEM-arranged free sightseeing tours for spouses. > > Important dates > > 2015-10-23 CfP > 2015-12-13 CfP deadline > 2015-12-18 Devroom schedule published, speakers notified > 2016-01-30 Microkernel devroom takes place > 2016-01-30 Microkernel family dinner > > Links > > [1] http://fosdem.org/2016 > > [2] https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM16 > > [3] https://lists.fosdem.org/listinfo/microkernel-devroom > > [4] https://fosdem.org/2016/practical/transportation/ > >
