FOSDEM 2016 - take action by 4th of December 2015

[Roman Shaposhnik]

As most of you probably know FOSDEM 2016 (the biggest,
100% free open source developer conference) is right 
around the corner:
   https://fosdem.org/2016/

We hope to have an ASF booth and we would love to see as
many ASF projects as possible present at various tracks
(AKA Developer rooms):
   https://fosdem.org/2016/schedule/#devrooms

This year, for the first time, we are running a dedicated
Big Data and HPC Developer Room and given how much of that
open source development is done at ASF it would be great
to have folks submit talks to:
   https://hpc-bigdata-fosdem16.github.io

While the CFPs for different Developer Rooms follow slightly 
different schedules, but if you submit by the end of this week 
you should be fine.

Finally if you don't want to fish for CFP submission URL,
here it is:
   https://fosdem.org/submit

If you have any questions -- please email me *directly* and
hope to see as many of you as possible in two months! 

Thanks,
Roman.

Hi Chris,

Just found out about this effort. I was committer and PMC for Apache
Shindig and this is absolutely great news.

Thank you for leading the effort.

Hi Chris,

I am interested in joining the OpenDashboards team.  I am a Java Dev, and I
am excited about the project.  It seems that there is a great need for
dashboarding now and in the future. Please send me an invite to the Slack
channel.  My email is rpbr...@gmail.com.

Thanks,

Robert
