FOSDEM's lightning talk isn't a format really targeted to big projects. There are to very small / personal projects, idea, new softwares and general thoughts. > http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Events/FOSDEM/2013_-_DevRoom_-_Qgil A lot better. The FOSDEM is also populated by people (including CS or IT students) to get involved in a project (outreach effort). They go to dev rooms to assist to the talks who attract them (virtually only projects contributors attend only once devroom, other visitors go from one to another). > If someone else is thinking about submitting a MediaWiki related > proposal please share your plans in the wiki page. We have one full day of talks to give. When you send the proposal, as we're very short for delays please already include the information asked by FOSDEM team: * Your name * The title of your talk (please be descriptive, as titles will be listed with ~250 from other projects) * A short abstract of one to two paragraphs * A short biography introducing yourself * Links to related websites/blogs etc. Ideal duration: 1h -- Best Regards, Sébastien Santoro aka Dereckson http://www.dereckson.be/ _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
