Submission guidelines --------------------- The Pentabarf system will ask for many of the essential details. Please remember to re-use your account from previous years if you have one.

We will be looking for relevance to the conference and dev-room themes, presentations aimed at developers of free and open source software about RTC-related topics. Please feel free to suggest a duration between 20 minutes and 55 minutes but note that the final decision on talk durations will be made by the dev-room administrators based on the number of received proposals. As the two previous dev-rooms have been combined into one, we may decide to give shorter slots than in previous years so that more speakers can participate. Please note FOSDEM aims to record and live-stream all talks. The CC-BY license is used. Volunteers needed ================= To make the dev-room and lounge run successfully, we are looking for volunteers: - FOSDEM provides video recording equipment and live streaming, volunteers are needed to assist in this - organizing one or more restaurant bookings (dependending upon number of participants) for the evening of Saturday, 2nd of February - participation in the Real-Time lounge - helping attract sponsorship funds for the dev-room to pay for the Saturday night dinner and any other expenses - circulating this Call for Participation to other mailing lists Social events and dinners ========================= The traditional FOSDEM beer night occurs on Friday, 1st of February. On Saturday night, there are usually dinners associated with each of the dev-rooms. Most restaurants in Brussels are not so large so these dinners have space constraints and reservations are essential. Please subscribe to the Free-RTC mailing list for further details about the Saturday night dinner options and how you can register for a seat: http://lists.freertc.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss Spread the word and discuss =========================== If you know of any mailing lists where this CfP would be relevant, please forward this email.
