I just updated the wiki to include a description of these two talks. I haven't 
specified any time slot though. 
See http://wiki.gnustep.org/index.php/FOSDEM_2011
For my personal infos, you can reuse what I gave last year… it's visible here:

I'm not sure it is worth to have talks beyond 18:00, people tend to leave 
around this time.

May be David will do a talk about EtoileText? And one about LanguageKit?
