FOSDEM_2010#Schedule


I tried my best to consider every wish so far and cluster belonging  
stuff together the same time. But still: this is of course just  
preliminary and not set in stone. You can of course rearrange this if  
you come to an agreement with somebody else.

Some notes:

- Richard dropped his talk to allow for a more relaxed schedule with  
breaks.
- David is not 100% sure if he can come (he has a house move pending)  
so it would be good if we would have some drop in talks prepared just  
in case
- Nicolas, since you didn't reply me with a time assumption I have  
scheduled your talk to 45 minutes. I hope this is o.k. (but it still  
can be changed)
- You can extend your talk / concluding Q&A quite a bit, that 15  
minutes granularity is mainly there to keep the FOSDEM organizers  
happy but 5 minutes should be enough for a break
- I still need your resume and a short abstract for each talk until  
this saturday (9th of January) to forward it to the FOSDEM organizers  
(I've got this only from Fred so far)

this is what FOSDEM wishes to get:

--- snip ---

* for each talk:
  * activity title (please try to be descriptive, there are ~250  
talks at
    FOSDEM during the week-end ;)),
  * a short abstract (1-2 paragraphs),
  * a longer description if appropriate,
  * optionally a list of links to the project website or similar


* for each speaker:
  * the speaker's real name,
  * a short overview of her bio in a couple of lines,
  * optionally also a longer bio,
  * optionally a picture (please send it to us as 128x128 PNG),
  * optionally links to her website, blog, ...
