Hi folks,
I am still waiting for an official acceptance or (more likely it
seems) rejection mail from FOSDEM. I already pinged the person in
charge for the devrooms on that but got no reply as of now.
Now Nikolaus has already let the unpleasant news out of the bag:

but where is GNUstep?

So I guess there's no devroom at FOSDEM 2010 for us. Sorry folks,
projects like Jabber/XMPP and NoSQL seem to be more important than
us. Why there's Crossdesktop (a collaboration across, but not limited
to, KDE, GNOME and XFCE) and still a single room for each KDE and
GNOME I also don't know.
What can we do now?
- we can have some sort of unofficial meeting, e.g. just meeting each
other (and maybe have a dinner together) without having a devroom.
- people who want to give a talk could still sign up for lightning
talks: http://www.fosdem.org/2010/call_for_lightningtalks - everybody
has to do that individually.
- we could try to join other projects' devroom efforts, I guess for
instance Nikolaus could try to come to an agreement with the Embedded/
Mobile devroom folks, whereas Étoilé maybe would fit in the
Crossdesktop room. GNUstep could make friends with the folks of the
Mono Developer Room (just kidding ;-))
I am somewhat sad and disappointed about this outcome, but whatever,
the world goes on and we can try again next year. Maybe we see this
as a chance to get our act together a little bit better (/me looks at
our website for instance).
So now that I have time (and finally bought a big external hard disk)
I can finish editing the videos from last year and upload those on
vimeo or the like later.
see you,
Lars
