I'll arrive on Fridary afternoon and leave Monday too.

I'm tempted by a shorter beer event. We could have our own beer event possibly 
too. I wouldn't mind to go to a quieter or less crowded place.

I added myself to the FOSDEM page on the wiki.

For the talks, I submitted two proposals: Étoilé Progresses and EtoileUI

Otherwise I'd be interested to hear talks about:
- CoreBase and CoreGraphics/Opal in GNUstep
- GNUstep Progresses and Roadmap
- DBusKit
- EtoileText (… I'm especially curious about the possibility to leverage OMeta 
to write the tree transform rules)
- LanguageKit Progresses

Cheers,
Quentin.
