Hello,

The Call for Talks for the CrossDesktop DevRoom at FOSDEM 2013 is now
officially open. Please do not wait till the last minute!

--8<---

FOSDEM is one of the largest gatherings of Free Software contributors
in the world and happens each February in Brussels (Belgium). One of
the tracks will be the CrossDesktop DevRoom, which will host
Desktop-related talks.


We are now inviting proposals for talks about Free/Libre/Open-source
Software on the topics of Desktop development, Desktop applications
and interoperativity amongst Desktop Environments. This is a unique
opportunity to show novel ideas and developments to a wide technical
audience.


Topics accepted include, but are not limited to: Enlightenment, Gnome,
KDE, Unity, XFCE, Windows, Mac OS X, general desktop matters,
applications that enhance desktops and web (when related to desktop).


Talks can be very specific, such as developing mobile applications
with Qt Quick; or as general as predictions for the fusion of Desktop
and web in 5 years time. Topics that are of interest to the users and
developers of all desktop environments are especially welcome. The
FOSDEM 2012 schedule might give you some inspiration:

listed with around 250 from other projects)

Short abstract of one or two paragraphs

Short bio

Requested time: from 15 to 45 minutes. Normal duration is 30 minutes.
