This is not spam.  It is an on-topic posting.

Please refrain from insulting people, in particular those posting
rarely who may not be very familiar with OpenBSD and might be
mislead to think that such insults would be normal or acceptable
in an OpenBSD context.

FOSDEM is a major conference about Free Software, arguably even the
major conference in Europe.  OpenBSD as a free operating system.
OpenBSD developers have presented at FOSDEM in the past.  I'm
actually considering to propose a presentation myself, and i'm
grateful for the heads-up.

I consider FOSDEM a major opportunity for communication among
free operating systems that rarely talk to each other.  The *BSD
conferences are no doubt useful too, but less suited to that
particular purpose.

While some of your questions may be interesting and some of your
criticisms might have a point, discussing most of them would be
off-topic on this list.  A call for proposals for a major free
software conference is clearly on topic here; nitpicking on the
concept of the conference is not.

Yours,
  Ingo
