Hello, This year, the FOSDEM (in Brussels, 6-7th February 2010) will host the "Alt-OS" devroom on sunday from 9:00 to 17:00. This devroom is meant as a place for Free and OpenSource Alternative Operating System projects to share ideas and work on topics like: * distinguishing design and features, * device drivers and how to share them, * sharing code for internal components, * internal usage of other FOSS projects to build upon, * application portability, * interoperability, o file formats, o extended attributes... We are very interested to hear about your project on all those aspects, and of course we'd be happy to help you set up a hacking session or other form of gathering eventually, depending on the schedule. See the complete call for participation. http://groups.google.com/group/rosetta-os/browse_thread/thread/16964e21bef27... The deadline for the propositions for the Alt-OS devroom at FOSDEM has been extended to 2010-01-05, to allow at least one talk per project. The shedule must be sent rapidly to the FOSDEM team so we can't stretch it much more. François.
