FOSDEM 2018 Guile devroom

FOSDEM 2018 Guile devroom

[Manolis Ragkousis]

Hello Guile, Hello Guix,

Unfortunately I have bad news. Our proposal for a devroom at FOSDEM 2018
has not been accepted. But I think we can still make the best out of a
bad situation. That's why I want to encourage people to submit talks in
other devrooms/tracks. Ludo posted a list some time ago[1] on possible
options. The confirmed devrooms for 2018 will be announced soon. [2]

We also have the option of organizing a fringe event or a hackathon in
the Friday before, if we find a place and there is interest. The ones
local to Brussels can help with finding a place. Alex any ideas?

Alternatively we can host something later in the year somewhere in
another conference. WDYT?

People this is a good time for suggestions and ideas :). Please do say
what you think and how we could make the best out of this. It will help.

Thank you
Manolis

That’s too bad!  Thank you (and others who worked on the proposal) for
your initiative, though!

I’d be very happy if we could have a little meetup before FOSDEM to
meet, discuss, and hack.
