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.

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.
