[Ghm-discuss] Fw: Re: [FOSDEM-Devrooms] Proposal for Dev Room at FOSDEM 2014

[Alex Sassmannshausen]

Hello,

I've now submitted an initial list of talks to the FOSDEM organisers and
am awaiting their feedback. Please see below and let me know if I missed
anything/anyone out or got anything wrong.

Also, feel free to encourage interested parties to send me/us an idea
for a talk, or send me their name, Spanish Inquisition style, and I'll
get in touch with them to see if they might be interested in offering a
talk.

(I don't currently know how many talks would be appropriate, so we may
somehow have to make a final selection at some point, but I feel that
might be better than not having enough talks… :-)

Best wishes,

Alex
