Conferences/FOSDEM 2008

Intro

The 2008 edition of FOSDEM (the Free and Open source Software Developers' Europe Meeting) will take place at the ULB, Brussels, Belgium over the weekend of February 23-24 2008.

Here is the plan for the Jabber/XMPP community...

We don't have a FOSDEM "devroom" this year so we will focus on a booth at FOSDEM on Saturday. Jabberites will also be encouraged to attend various FOSDEM talks on Saturday.

On Sunday and Monday (hours and location to be determined) we will hold an "XMPP summit" at a hotel in Brussels.

If you want to help out with the booth or attend the XMPP summit, leave your name below. If you do not have an account at this wiki, contact Alexander Gnauck and he will create an account for you.
