Hi Amirouche,

A scheme european event would be a great idea. Jesse is trying to get
something together for 2019 - although Racket specific afaik.

Still, I have to give my 2 cents on FOSDEM. I think it's pretty bad.
I have been super-frustrated for two consecutive years and gave up on
it. The problem with it is that year after year it has more people. It's
over-crowded.

You spend at least an hour queueing for lunch or for a coffee for
example. The worst is the that the rooms get full super quickly and you
end up with a sign on the door saying: "Room is full, join us through
the live stream." - Hey, if I wanted to live stream, I would have stayed
home.

The problem is that there are so many people some will just sit in a
room, on their laptops, waiting to hear something interesting. This
happened to me over and over again this year. I swore I wouldn't go to
FOSDEM anymore.

I super-support an idea of an european gathering of schemers but if it's
at FOSDEM, I will probably stay home and live stream.

Good luck,

Paulo Matos
