Hi, Yes, I will attend FOSDEM 2019, but I don't plan to submit anything to the Distributions devroom this year. I'll be co-managing the Minimalist Languages devroom, but I'll try to drop by at the Distros room when I get the chance!
Thanks for sharing, and if anyone's attending as well, ping me when you're there and let's catch up! Cheers, -- Hisham On Tue, 6 Nov 2018 at 18:50, Lucas C.
