Subject: [FOSDEM] Call for participation: lightning talks and stands
To: FOSDEM <[email protected]>



There is still time to submit main track presentations. The deadline
for proposing developer rooms has now passed. Please see our previous
call for participation for more information on submitting main track
proposals:

  https://fosdem.org/2014/news/2013-08-06-call-for-participation/

We now also invite proposals for lightning talks and stands.


Lightning talks


Lighting talks are short - 15 minutes - talks on a wide variety of topics.
Anyone who has something interesting to say about an open source topic
can apply. We particularly encourage topics that do not fit in any of the
developer rooms.

Proposals for lightning talks should be submitted using Pentabarf:

  https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM14

Please be sure to select "lightning talks" in the "track" field.

Questions or remarks? Contact us at [email protected].


Stands


FOSDEM offers open source projects the opportunity to display their work
during the event. At their stand, a project can share information, demo
software, sell merchandise, give away goodies, and so on, and personally
interact with the visitors.

What we offer:

- one 180x80cm table, positioned in one of the buildings with developer
  rooms, for the entire duration of the conference. In some cases, a
  second table may be possible, if you have a good reason to need two.
- two chairs per table
- one power socket type C/E (if you require adapters or additional
  sockets, please bring them yourself)
- fast uplink shared wireless Internet access

Further practical considerations:

- The offer for stands is open to open source projects and communities
- There is no cost or fee for the stands
- The stand should be occupied by at least two people for the duration of
  the conference.

Submission details:

Send your request via email to [email protected]. Please include at
least the following information:

- Project name
- Stand description
- Project URLs
- Your name and relation to the project
- Why should FOSDEM accept this proposal?
- Optionally, if requesting two tables, motivation for the second table

Questions or remarks? Contact us at [email protected].
