[FM Discuss] fosdem

[Michael McAndrew]

hey,

so here's some more detais.  i was thinking that it would be cool to move
away from the 'stand' idea that you normally have at conferences where you
just sit there and talk to people toward an 'open book sprint' model where
people can come in, get excited by what you are doing, actually contribute
to the sprint.

The fosdem website says "As every year we only have a limited number of
rooms, yet every year more and more individual distributions request a
Developer Room at FOSDEM. We do not want to have to choose between them, but
instead push our mission of a collaboration platform and cross-pollination
even further. We will host mixed distribution rooms where talks and sessions
will be organized"

Flossmanuals in a dev room would be a great good driver for
cross-pollination, right?  In floss manuals style, we could work on projects
that reflect the passions of the people who are attending...
