FOSDEM 2011
Hi list, I just returned from FOSDEM 2011. The GTA04 team had a seat available at the boot, so I spend most of my time showing the semi-/demi-populated GTA04-boards to the masses, explaining the various uses of the Navigation board, introducing even more people to the Openmoko-concept or just refreshing the collective memories (oh, is that project still alive? Great!). Asthro has been repairing/bug fixing some units, including two of mine, thanks a lot again! The openembedded guys and Tux Brains were squeezed in between the Openmoko/GTA04 samples and the "phone doctor", and came up with the suggestion on the mailinglist earlier: lets team up with neighbouring (embedded) projects next year and get a room. Well, looking back to a great weekend. Nice to see some of you in person! Best regards, Boudewijn ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Hi there, I got this eMail. I will try to get more information to get a few hours of time for us. Greetings Serdar Dear Serdar Dere, Unfortunately your devroom request for FOSDEM 2011 was declined. You might have discovered this indirectly already, we are very sorry for that. Something went wrong in the sending of the decline-mails, we did not wish for this to happen in this way. To clarify, your request was perfectly valid, but we had to choose. Unfortunately we do not have a sufficient number of rooms to our disposal to cover all requests. Nevertheless, there are other ways to participate in FOSDEM too. A call for participation will be announced around next week on our website, with opportunities to: - have a stand at FOSDEM, - hold a FOSDEM lightningtalk in one of the biggest rooms, - speak in one of the other devrooms. More specifically, like previous years there will be an 'embedded' devroom for all software on embedded and mobile devices. The contact person is Philippe De Swert , contact him if you wish to participate in this devroom.

Nikolaus? Do you wanna hold your presentation > after all? Last FOSDEM was my first, making me not too familiar with the organisation of the event. I did notice that though "we" occupied a couple of buildings, others were not in use. Would it be an option to organize a shadow-event nearby? Is one of us living near there? Perhaps the Brussel Hackerspace is willing to provide room outside FOSDEM-hours? It shouldn't be too far from the main FOSDEM event, so there's at least a remote chance of pulling some not-OM-visitors to the "event". If there's interest in organizing something like that, I volunteer to make phonecalls or send mails after receiving some pointers where to look for room. > (...) the program of the embedded room > seems to be > fixed to buildsystems, C libraries, and kernel tweakings > for years now. Well, it's FOS-, not FOHWDEM. I hope it will shift towards open hardware more and more (there were the RepRap, Arduino and Beagleboard besides OM, perhaps others I didn't notice) Boudewijn ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

As far as I understand there aren't any hardware-centerted devrooms. >> Sadly our project is still to small to get a room or so. This may be the main question for the FOSDEM organizers - what exactly is our project. For them it may appear to be something fragmented between Distribution, Telephony, Embedded. For all those components they have separate Devrooms. >> Dunno. >> Mickey? Nikolaus? Do you wanna hold your presentation after all? > > Not me.

Yes, that is also my impression. What we can do is to organize our own "virtual devroom". Idea: * we open a page fosdem2011 on wiki.openmoko.org * everyone tries to get a presentation into all relevant devrooms -- Mickey @ Telephony -- Nikolaus @ Embedded or Lightning -- Serdar @ Distribution miniconf -- SHR @ Distribution miniconf -- etc. * on the wiki page we collect the time, location, title etc. to provide our own "Openmoko" view into the FOSDEM database...

Seems as we lost our devroom after all. Sadly our project is still to small to get a room or so. Dunno. Mickey? Nikolaus? Do you wanna hold your presentation after all? You might get a presentation in one of the biggest rooms. Perhaps you can motivate more devs to help us getting OpenMoko rule the market again.

Re: FOSDEM 2011
Hi guys, I organized this year a devroom for our Android on Freerunner Project and got one for 3h. But 3h was too much for our project, that's why I forced mickey and other to make some paper to present. I can take care next year too because I know the guys and talked much with them. But if David is eager to do it, he is welcomed :) Greetings Serdar Am 02.09.10 23:21, schrieb David Lanzendörfer: Hi folks, Hi mickey FOSDEM just released the call for dev-rooms.
