Dear all,
On Saturday we have a minimalistic devroom with an interesting agenda:
https://fosdem.org/2019/schedule/track/minimalistic_languages/
we need one or two volunteers to operate/monitor the video/audio
recording and two volunteers to help me with the room itself (get
speakers started, keep people out of the room when full).
You can E-mail me here or privately.
Pj.
