FOSDEM offers open source and free software developers a place to
meet, share ideas and collaborate. Renowned for being highly
developer-oriented, the event brings together some 5000+ geeks from
all over the world.

The sixteenth edition will take place on Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st
January 2016 at the usual location: ULB Campus Solbosch in Brussels.

We now invite proposals for main track presentations, developer rooms,
stands and lightning talks.

Main Tracks
-----------
Previous editions have featured main tracks centered around security,
operating system development, community building, and many other
topics. Presentations are expected to be 50 minutes long and should
cater to a varied technical audience. The conference covers
reasonable travel expenses agreed in advance and arranges
accommodation for accepted main track speakers.

Proposals for main track presentations should be submitted using
Pentabarf:
  https://fosdem.org/submit

This year, submissions will be reviewed in two batches, beginning with
those received by 16 October.

Developer Rooms
---------------
Developer rooms are assigned to self-organising groups to work
together on open source and free software projects, to discuss topics
relevant to a broader subset of the community, etc. Content may be
scheduled in any format, subject to approval. Popular formats include
presentation tracks, hacking sessions and panel discussions.
Proposals involving collaboration across project or domain boundaries
are strongly encouraged.

Stands
------
FOSDEM offers open source and free software projects the opportunity
to display their work during the event. At its 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

source or free software topic can apply. We particularly encourage
topics that do not fit in any of the developer rooms.
