Looks excellent.

Good question; normaly some flexibility is good here, along with
prodding people into action.

I would make the text more like:
"FOSDEM is a free conference to attend, and we will try to seek
sponsorship, but funding is limited, so please only request it
if you cannot attend otherwise"
how about that ? :-)

Can do; lets whack it in the wiki first, and just not announce it - so
people can go edit it in-place there.

And thanks for the great start ! :-) wonderful to get a nucleus to grow
this around.

One thing I would like is to have a range of talk lengths. ie. I think
we should have some 30 minute, and some 15 minute, slots - and perhaps
some 5 minutes. There is great benefit in having people simply stand up,
say hello, and sit down again ;-) so you get to know who they are - and
they build confidence.

I would ask for a couple of paragraphs about the talk - maximum 300
words - otherwise, some will write their life story, and others two
lines :-)
Anyhow - thanks muchly for the nice, punchy draft :-) and leading this.
ATB,
Michael.
