Re: [Wikitech-l] Going to FOSDEM
from the FOSDEM ML: Should we grab one of these slots? Dear All, FOSDEM is nearing and it is promising to become awesome again. Like last year, we will provide two 'community meeting rooms' (formerly called BoF rooms). The concept is simple: any project/community can reserve a timeslot (15 minutes to an hour), during which they have the room just for them. It is meant for ad-hoc discussions, meet-ups or brainstorms. It is not a replacement for a devroom and it certainly is not meant for talks, so there will deliberately not be a projector. The rooms are cosy and small with around 30ish seats. Reservation can only be done on site and *during FOSDEM*. The reservation sheets are at the infodesk in the H building. The rooms are not far from that infodesk. Reservations are on a first-come, first-serve basis.
