Re: Call for talks: Minimalistic Languages Devroom at FOSDEM 2019

[Pjotr Prins <pjotr.public12@thebird.nl>]

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.
