Hi Everyone (Am re-posting this as it looks like the first one didn't get through.)
I've received the response from the FOSDEM organisers regarding our application for a devroom and unfortunately it hasn't been accepted. Thanks very much to everyone who gave their feedback and comments regarding the devroom application and we'll try again next year. A general email was sent out to the unsuccessful devrooms and I've included the details below. Thanks Sharan ------------------------------------------------------------------ As you'll appreciate, we do not have enough space for every proposal so difficult decisions have to be made. Each year, we give a few regular devrooms and stands a break so that there is space for some new ones. If this has happened to your room this year, please do try to see this as an opportunity to have a rest from organising things, and enjoy participating in the event as a visitor. We're aware that some proposals have been "almost" accepted a few times, yet narrowly missed it again. Please don't be discouraged from trying again next year - your turn may come eventually. One general point worth mentioning is that a few of the proposals fell low down the list because they suggested workshops with an emphasis on promoting existing software. FOSDEM devrooms should be more aimed at encouraging collaboration between developers of related projects and sharing ideas about future development work rather than just promoting the use of software that already exists. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@community.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@community.apache.org
