Hi,

I'm sorry to inform you that we declined your devroom proposal.

To clarify, your request was perfectly valid, but we had to choose.
Unfortunately we do not have a sufficient number of rooms at our
disposal to cover all requests. This year, we had over 60 requests
for a devroom and were only able to accept 37 of those. However,
some requests have been combined into a single devroom.

Nevertheless, there are other ways to participate in FOSDEM too.
You can still:
- have a stand at FOSDEM,
- hold a 15 minute 'lightning talk' in one of the biggest rooms,
- speak in one of the other devrooms (CfP to follow),
- hold a session in the community meeting room (new; CfP to follow).

The full list of accepted devrooms will be published on the
FOSDEM website later this week.


On behalf of the FOSDEM devroom team,

Johan van Selst

Would anyone like to go to FOSDEM and do Smalltalky things anyway?

Indeed. I'll try again next year.
There are of course several devrooms where we can propose talks, e.g.
"Containers and Process Isolation" should be interested to hear about
our long-time experience with images

IoT - the Pi Scratch system is gradually intruding there and of course that means various device drivers are now in Squeak
Open Media
Open Source Design
Coding for Language Communities
Graphics
- all seem areas where Squeak has a place

And the best way to increase our chances next year are of course to make
sure that there are lots of smalltalk-using presentations at the devrooms.

There was an IWST paper this year that would fit the EDA (Electronic
Design Automation) devroom, and I would be interested to see PostgreSQL
development in action.
