I should add that even if the developer's room at FOSDEM is for free,
it does not provide the atmosphere to do real work. And, the other
presentations disctract from work.

Riccardo has put it into the right words:

So you can also view it as a "preparation" meeting for the technical
side of FOSDEM.

This brings up the question who is providing which machinery for
FOSDEM?

So who can provide:

* one or two machines with large screens really running GNUstep in
production
* I can provide some handhelds ("gimmicks")

For the brochures, I have approx. 150 left over from last year.
