We got confirmation from the Fosdem organizers that for FOSDEM 2007 (24-25th February in Brussels, Belgium) we will have a room for 100 people and Sun.be has asked for an OpenJDK booth that the FOSDEM organization will place not too far away from that room. We have some friends at Sun now that would like to join us for Fosdem. Normally we have three "themes" for our Fosdem meeting (Sat afternoon, Sun morning, Sun afternoon). For this year it is probably a good idea to make those: - GNU Classpath & friends - Reflection & Future (Party!) - OpenJDK - Welcome to/from the community - GNU/Linux distro packaging for the new libre Java world Normally our Fosdem meeting is completely volunteer based and people come without any sponsorship. Just because it is such a hassle to make someone responsible for managing and tracking money. But if you would like to help with sponsorship and coordination that would be very nice. Cheers, Mark
