------------- snip ------------------ ====================== Call for Presentations GNUstep @ FOSDEM 2007 =====================
Abstract -------- Once again we have booked a stand (2 x 2m) and a DevRoom at FOSDEM 2007, the Free and Open source Software Developers' European Meeting (http://www.fosdem.org/2007). FOSDEM 2007 takes place on 24th and 25th February 2007 at Brussels, Belgium at the ULB (Universite Libre de Bruxelles) Campus Solbosh. Last year's GNUstep presentations were a great success and we want this year's to be even better in order to increase public interest. Therefore, we would like to ask potential authors to propose what they would like to present, demonstrate and discuss with other participants. Areas of interests include, but are not limited to: * User's experiences with GNUstep * successful (incl. commercial) GNUstep projects * new Frameworks for GNUstep (e.g. CoreData, CoreGraphics, ...) * GNUstep for the end user (i.e. Life CDs, Desktop applications) * GNUstep on Windows * What is new in GNUstep since last year? * GNUstep on embedded devices * News from Open Groupware * Future directions of GNUstep * Overview/Introductory presentations (for GNUstep beginners) * Moderated discussions * Hacking contest * Real life demonstrations If you agree, slides and/or videos will be published after the event on the GNUstep pages.

Program Committee ----------------- * Adam Fedor, GNUstep project leader * Helge Hess, Open Groupware * Nicolas Roard, GNUstep * Nikolaus Schaller, mySTEP What FOSDEM is (copied from www.fosdem.org) ------------------------------------------- FOSDEM is a free and non-commercial event for the community and organised by the community. Its goal is to provide Free and Open Source developers and communities a place to meet to * get in touch with other developers and projects, * get informed about the latest developments in the Free and Open Source world, * attend to interesting talks and presentations held in large conference rooms by Free and Open Source project leaders and commiters on various topics, * and to promote the development and the benefits of Free and Open Source solutions. As for being a free event, participation and attendance is totally free of charge (although we thankfully accept donations and sponsorship). To help the community, FOSDEM sets up 'DevRooms' (Developer Rooms) where teams can meet and showcase their projects.It is also a place where a team can discuss, code (hacking sessions), publicly present latest directions, lightning talks, news and decisions. The FOSDEM Team thinks it is very important that developers from around the world can meet 'in real life' and we believe projects can benefit from these meetings. Common facilities such as network/internet connectivity and projectors are provided by us. See you in February in Brussels! ------------- snip ------------------ _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
