Hi! just wanted to let you guys know that I've just submitted a proposal for Big Data and Data Science devroom for FOSDEM. ASF is the org that can make it a really successfull DEVROOM and last year the feedback was asking for something like this big time.
Not sure how to increase our chances of being accepted, but would love any feedback on that. Thanks, Roman.
