Hi Christophe, While I greatly appreciate your (and of everyone involved) voluntary work on organising the devroom, I really wish we did not put all these big projects into one devroom for just one day. Is there any way we could get GNOME it's own devroom (even for a day) in FOSDEM 2017?
Thanks again for organising the devroom! On Thu, Dec 3, 2015 at 9:38 AM, Christophe Fergeau <t...@gnome.org> wrote: > Just a few more days to go, deadline is on December 6th.
