For anyone (considering) attending FOSDEM in February, there's a new "Alt-OS" devroom - essentially an "anything but linux" spot. The room was requested by, and will be organized by, some of the folks who were in the "!Linux" meeting at the GSoC Mentor's Summit. I'm in that group, but won't be attending FOSDEM.
If anyone's attending, consider stopping by. In addition to just hearing about what else is going on out there, the people here are explicitly interested in working with others to exchange ideas and/or code. We're a bit farther afield than most, but we're not the only oddballs. There have been some potentially interesting discussions about common drivers (although it currently looks stalled on UDI). If anyone who knows how FOSDEM devrooms work (not I!) and will be attending would like to propose something to fill the room, please let me know off-list and I can forward it along. You'd have to run whatever it is you're proposing. Anthony
