My bad, I forgot about that.

Please. The more talks, the better. There is no written rule saying one
person cannot get two talks :-)

Pau reminds me: Anyone a KDE Mobile talk for the embedded room? I already
have a different proposal idea, but it would be nice to see the KDE
presence there, too!

Laszlo,

Aaron submitted a proposal for a Plasma Active talk:

https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/crossdesktop-devroom/2012-November/30.html

If the topic is different, more proposals cannot hurt. Specially if backed
with devices to show during the talk :-)

Aaron everywhere, great. ;-)

I personally think that it would fit better into the embedded room because
of the audience type, but that is just my personal opinion.

Perhaps a Qt/QNX (+ KDE plans) talk would  also make sense even if we
cannot back the presentation with KDE applications on the playbook, or
devalpha phone as of now.
