I cannot speak for the FOSDEM organization, but I seriously doubt you will get a full track on the first year with no single talk about Wine in the past. > Would we lose some of the joy of having our very own conference? IMHO having WineConf as part of FOSDEM would dilute WineConf. FOSDEM is just too big. Having Wine-related talks at FOSDEM would be perfectly fine, though, and I would even encourage you to ask for a keynote (you have to submit the keynote proposal in October, IIRC). > Of course, given our (so far) non participation in FOSDEM 2012, we may > not be welcome... :-/ This should not be a problem at all. Wine fits perfectly in the contents of the CrossDesktop DevRoom. I cannot say there will be a CrossDesktop DevRoom next year but I'm 99% sure there will be. Unfortunately for you, we have received confirmation from all the speakers in the CrossDesktop DevRoom already. Would you be interested in a slot in case we receive a last-minute cancellation? -- Pau Garcia i Quiles http://www.elpauer.org (Due to my workload, I may need 10 days to answer)
