FOSDEM 2010, redux
Hi, (people not likely to be at FOSDEM in Brussels, Belgium, on the 6th and 7th of February 2010 may skip this mail...) So, since nothing seemed to be happening for the FOSDEM 2010 distributions miniconference thing, I poked the list a bit, and now proposals are flowing in. For those interested in checking out the current proposals, go have a look at http://distributions.freedesktop.org/wiki/Fosdem2010. More is certainly still welcome; not just talks, but also things like panel discussions that would benefit Debian and other distributions. Note, however, that due to the limited amount of time we still have at this point, a deadline for such proposals has been set at 2010-01-04 23:59 (ish, local time), which is only 2 weeks from now. Further announcements about FOSDEM, if any, will be on the -events-eu list. -- The biometric identification system at the gates of the CIA headquarters works because there's a guard with a large gun making sure no one is trying to fool the system. http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/01/biometrics.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I can provide a talk on better ways to handle configuration upgrades during packages upgrade [1]. These ideas can also be applied to other distros, so they should interest FOSDEM people. Good! :-) I also have some ideas about addressing ISV packaging needs but they are not fleshed out enough for a talk. May be a meeting between people having a similar goal ? Sure, why not? There's a mailinglist over at the FOSDEM people to discuss talks for the distributions miniconf. I guess I should've made that a bit more clear, but anyway. You may want to send your proposal to dist2...@lists.fosdem.org. Note that this is a public mailinglist, so even if your talk is not fleshed out completely, you could still send it out and see whether some discussion ensues that might help you to sort your thoughts.
