Anyways, how can we deal with it? I don't see any other devroom we could

make proposals for talks. Except "Smalltalk". Should we try to flood them

with proposals for talks :)

I don't think they'd be against one or two talks.

Or we must do what many other projects are doing: organize our own

conference[s] (hackathons, AlpenSTEP, ...). I have no idea if it is possible

to get a conference room @ some hotel @ Brussels @ friday before

FOSDEM. Is there someone from Belgium here on this list and could

try to find out?

Getting a separate conference room is bound to be pricey. Perhaps a local university would be willing to provide some space (a classroom), to lower the costs?

We could also try to look at youth hostels or charity groups etc. Sometimes they have low-budget meeting rooms.

Finally, there could turn up someone who makes a donation :)

But this needs help from someone living in Belgium or even better in Brussels.
