FOSDEM 2014 Desktops DevRoom Call for Talks

[Didier Roche]

FOSDEM is one of the largest gatherings of Free Software contributors in 
the world and happens each February in Brussels (Belgium). One of the 
tracks will be the Desktops DevRoom (formerly known as "CrossDesktop 
DevRoom"), which will host Desktop-related talks.

We are now inviting proposals for talks about Free/Libre/Open-source 
Software on the topics of Desktop development, Desktop applications and 
interoperability amongst Desktop Environments. This is a unique 
opportunity to show novel ideas and developments to a wide technical 
audience.

Topics accepted include, but are not limited to: Enlightenment, Gnome, 
KDE, Unity, XFCE/Razor, Windows, Mac OS X, general desktop matters, 
applications that enhance desktops and web (when related to desktop).

Talks can be very specific, such as developing mobile applications with 
Qt Quick; or as general as predictions for the fusion of Desktop and web 
in 5 years time. Topics that are of interest to the users and developers 
of all desktop environments are especially welcome. The FOSDEM 2013 
schedule might give you some inspiration:

Please include the following information when submitting a proposal:

  * Your name
  * The title of your talk (please be descriptive, as titles will be
    listed with around 250 from other projects)
  * Short abstract of one or two paragraphs
  * Short bio (with photo)
  * Requested time: from 15 to 45 minutes. Normal duration is 30
    minutes. Longer duration requests must be properly justified. You
    may be assigned LESS time than you request.


The deadline for submissions is December 14th 2013. FOSDEM will be held 
on the weekend of 1-2 February 2014. Please use the following website to 
submit your proposals:
