Pjotr & Manolis Guile, Guix, and Lua fellows are organizing the =E2=80=9CMinimalistic Lan= guages=E2=80=9D track at this year=E2=80=99s FOSDEM: https://fosdem.org/2019 Consider submitting a talk about what you=E2=80=99ve been hacking on! * Minimalistic Languages Devroom call for talks @ FOSDEM 2019 (posted at https://libreplanet.org/wiki/FOSDEM2019-devroom-minimalism) We are excited to announce a devroom on minimalistic languages (with big ideas) at FOSDEM on Saturday February 2nd 2019! FOSDEM is one of the most important free software conferences and is hosted annually at Universit=C3=A9 libre de Bruxelles in Brussels, Belgium. FOSDEM is fantastic, check last year's schedule for Saturday (https://archive.fosdem.org/2018/schedule/day/saturday/) Minimalism matters. Minimalism allows for smaller systems that take less resources and consume less energy. More importantly, free and open source minimalism allows for secure systems that are easy to understand. Finally, we believe that minimalism is educational and brings back the fun of the early days of computing where people learn to understand systems from the ground up. Speakers will be asked to accentuate the educational side of their projects. We have a room Saturday 2 February 2019. We want to invite you to submit a talk on the use of minimalistic languages that fits that description. We are especially happy to receive talk submissions from members of any underrepresented groups. If you have something you=E2=80=99d like to share with your fellow develo= pers, please head to pentabarf at - https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM19 The deadline for submission is November 25th.
