KDE Room at FOSDEM 2007
=======================

   FOSDEM [http://www.fosdem.org/2007/] is yet another one of those
catchy acronyms that stands for nothing less than "Free and Open source
Software Developers' European Meeting". KDE will again be hosting a room
dedicated to talks and chat about the free desktop. These annual
meetings are organised by volunteers, free of charge and generally
recognised as one of the most productive gatherings available on the
European stage.  This year it will be held on the weekend of 24/25th
February 2007 on the ULB Campus Solbosh in Brussels, Belgium.

     We are now looking for KDE contributors to talk about what they are
working on.  Talks in previous years have included PyKDE, Krita, KDE
Marketing, KDevelop and Context Linked Desktops.  We want to hear from
all parts of KDE in the devroom, so do not think your area of work is
too insignificant.  We also need people to man our stall, one of the
busiest stalls at FOSDEM, selling KDE merchandise and chatting to our
users about our future plans.  Sign yourself up on the KDE at FOSDEM
2007 wiki page.

     Outside of KDE the programme is packed with high profile speakers,
stands, and events for all the major free software with 'devrooms' for
focused software and distribution meetings. This year there will be a
large X.org presence, making it an ideal forum for the exchange of ideas
for the future of the Free desktop.

     If you want to come to the conference together with the KDE team,
please let the people at kde-events-benelux
[https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-events-benelux] know so they
can add you to their plans. Details of our accomodation are also on the
wiki page, let us know by Friday 12th if you want to stay with the KDE
group.

     Information on how to get there and where to stay is available on
the FOSDEM website [http://www.fosdem.org/2007/]. Registration is not
necessary, but will help give the organisers some idea of the attendance
so they will not be overwhelmed on the day. We will be meeting at the
legendary pre-FOSDEM gathering at Le Roi D'Espagne featuring (almost)
free beer and as many hackers are can be squeezed into one pub attic. 
Hope to see you there!
