Call for speakers for Ada at FOSDEM 2011; deadline on 2010-10-16!

[Ludovic Brenta]

The next FOSDEM[1], the Free and Open-Source European Developers'
Meeting, will take place on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 February 2011 in
Brussels, Belgium. The event is entirely free; speakers and attendees
alike are unpaid but enthusiastic volunteers. The audience consists
mostly of fellow developers. FOSDEM is one of the major events giving
visibility to worthy projects and languages. Ada-Belgium organized two
very successful series of presentations at FOSDEM 2006[2] and FOSDEM
2009[3], earning a good reputation for reliability and quality, and is
now seeking speakers for FOSDEM 2011. Two speakers have already
volunteered.

For several years now, Ada-Belgium has been running a dedicated
mailing list for the coordination of Ada at FOSDEM [4]. If you would
like to be a speaker or just attend the event, please subscribe to
this mailing list and peruse the archives; traffic is low and the
signal-to-noise ratio is extremely high :) We can discuss
accommodation and catering issues as well as technical ones on this
list. A proposal should consist of a 10-line summary of the
presentation, a 10-line biography of the speaker and an optional small
picture (in JPEG or PNG) of the speaker.

The deadline for the submission of proposals for a Developers' Room at
FOSDEM is ten (10) days from now on October 16, 2010 [5].  If you
would like to be a speaker, please react now on the adafosdem list so
we can arrange for a joint proposal for all Adaists.
