www/ Distributions/ Fosdem2010

This page is to coordinate the cross-distribution devroom at FOSDEM 2010. For more information, see http://www.fosdem.org/2010/distrominiconf.

Proposed talks

This list contains each and every talk proposal made on the list, just so that we don't lose track of them.

Note that some of these were "what about..." type proposals that weren't very much fleshed out; others were by people who are not related to any distribution and may therefore be somewhat out of scope for the devroom. I could have excluded both of these groups, but that would have left us with little if any proposals, and I didn't want to be the judge just yet.

Note that the deadline for talk submissions was January 5th; i.e., talks should be submitted no later than the 4th. This deadline has now passed.
