FOSDEM'15 - let us propose a D dev room!!!

[Kai Nacke via Digitalmars-d]

Hi all!

Being the largest European Open Source Conference, FOSDEM takes 
place in Brussels and attracts with more than 400 lectures every 
year over 5000 hackers - many core contributors of the worlds 
leading open source projects. FOSDEM 2015 will take place on 
Saturday 31 January and Sunday 1 February 2015.

I had a talk about LDC in the LLVM dev room this year 
(https://archive.fosdem.org/2014/schedule/event/ldccompiler/) 
which was much fun.

The call for participation is now announced! 
(https://fosdem.org/2015/news/2014-07-01-call-for-participation/)

I think we should propose a D dev room for FOSDEM'15. Besides 
being a nice place to meet some D people, this would also give us 
a lot of attention in the open source world. There is always 
press about this event.

What needs to be done? We have to submit a proposal for a dev 
room until September 15. If the proposal is accepted then we 
should have a call for papers, keynotes, lightning talks etc. 
 From these proposals the schedule has to be created. The schedule 
should be published around January, I guess.
 From my understanding, the main team organizes the rooms, 
beamers, video recording etc.
In order to distribute the work a small team (3 persons?) will be 
needed.

What do you think? Anybody willing to help me to create the 
proposal and the schedule and moderate the event?

If the dev room proposal will be accepted I really like to see 
Walter and Andrei as keynote speakers!!!

Regards,
Kai
