To follow-up to this thread since a few folks have reached out to me, unfortunately this year's Mesos stand wasn't accepted. :( Oh well, let's make a point to try again next year.
I have a Mesos talk on Saturday in the IaaS devroom that was accepted; I'm unaware of any other Mesos talks that were accepted but folks should chime-in if there are. Nils, if you're still interested in a potential Mesos meetup/hackathon/party around the same time as FOSDEM, I'd certainly be up for participating and imagine others would as well!
