No. And if this page is indeed a wishlist, its time to drop/move it  
and to make a page to organize FOSDEM.

Thats the thing which makes me angry about your complaint. You can't  
just ask anyone to do stuff, we are all doing that in our limited  
sparetime. You put up arbitary wishes and then expect *other* people  
to implement them (/ complain that they don't). Thats not going to  
work out. Obviously.

An exaggerated example, lets add
- have Steve Jobs on the stand to praise GNUstep so that the public
  appearance of GNUstep improves
;-)

> It does not really help to complain only...

Ahem, *you* complained about missing participation / feedback to your  
page. I gave you feedback :-)

> So, what of these wishes can you fulfill and work on?

Please stop asking other people to do something without discussing it  
first. First find a volunteer, _then_ put it on the list.


Anyways, no point in discussing that any further ;-) Its good to see  
Nicolas' taking some real care :-)

Personally I'm going to FOSDEM to have a GNUstep *dev meeting*, not  
to impress the public. FOSDEM is the Free and OpenSource *Developers*  
European Meeting, not an advertising event where you sell t-shirts  
and books. Sorry ;-)

As a final comment: one reason (besides a missing target audience)  
why I disliked devrooms in the past is that people can only be on one  
place, basically moving away the stand personal and cluttering the  
meeting.

Thanks,
  Helge
