I think we'll focus those days on the development effort.
At FOSDEM it is possible to get a stand. That would be a good place to
help people start up. Or, if we get a dev-room, we can use it to
install stuff on the side. At least, make the offer.
Tutorials would fit there too.

Heh. Usually it is a small group of people that make it happen.

Hmmm. If you look at the examples of last year - you should - you can
see they go for *major* topics.
I think we can play the small languages card because it is like a bin
for everything that does not fit the big guns. Manolis and I chose
minimalistic languages because Scheme fits so well :)

I fully appreciate this :)

I think that is a very interesting approach.

Fun +1
How about a dev-room for 'fun freedom programming languages'. It may get a
white space talk. Then, if I think of the work on MES and Guix it may
not be that great a fit. My point is that we should name the room that
will fit these projects
- MES reproducible from soucre bootstrap
- Guile Guix
- Guile Cuirass
- Guile JIT
- Guile Sheperd
- Lua JIT
and then more...
Note that 'fun freedom programming languages' is already too long a
name for a devroom.
> One has 6 months to prepare.
But we only have 3 weeks to apply for a dev-room.
