FOSDEM (Brussels, February 7th-8th)

We're currently planning the participation of Xfce at FOSDEM 2009. If we can motivate enough developers to attend and can get a developer room, there will be talks and sessions held during the weekend.

  • Update (2008-11-17): Developer room request was submitted today.
  • Update (2008-12-01): Unfortunately, the developer room request has been rejected.
  • Update (2008-12-31): We'll probably be able to have 1-2 talks on Sunday as part of the Cross Desktop room.
