Re: [DISCUSS] Fwd: Re: FOSDEM 2016 - Call for Participation

Hi!

just wanted to let you guys know that I've just submitted
a proposal for Big Data and Data Science devroom for
FOSDEM. ASF is the org that can make it a really successfull
DEVROOM and last year the feedback was asking for
something like this big time.

Not sure how to increase our chances of being accepted,
but would love any feedback on that.

Thanks,
Roman.

This was sent yesterday. I didn't CC the list since submissions now 
happen through a web form, but content is not much different from the 
2015 submission linked above.

   Andrea.

This was sent yesterday. I didn't CC the list since submissions now 
happen through a web form, but content is not much different from the 
2015 submission linked above.

Good!

Both booths/stands and devrooms are accepted (or rejected) directly by 
the FOSDEM organizers, with (as far as I know) no way to influence the 
decision. But organizers prefer to see devrooms that focus on one topic 
rather than one software and that gather similar projects.

Acceptance of a stand and/or a devroom for the same project are 
independent. So a stand for OpenOffice is unrelated to a devroom for ODF 
Editors. And a stand for Apache is unrelated to a devroom for Big Data 
projects. And different Apache projects can show up in different 
devrooms since they apply to different areas.

I'm going to submit a proposal for an ODF Editors devroom too, similar 
to http://s.apache.org/ved (the one we sent last year).

Regards,
   Andrea.
