Devroom submission
Thanks for your interest in organising a devroom. Please note that by applying for a devroom you are making a commitment to fill the schedule for your track, at least for a half day track.
Devroom coordinators must enter a complete schedule into our conference system by 31st December. It is particularly important to be available and to respond promptly to emails about the schedule for about a week either side of this date. We also require all proposals to be submitted directly by the speakers into our system.
We are using Matrix, an online platform (streaming + chat) allowing devroom organizers to run the conference with prerecorded talks with live Q&A. All recordings will be archived and will be published under the same license as all FOSDEM content (CC-BY).
Feel free to mention in the comments what your preferred timespan would be on either Saturday and/or Sunday. If your room gets a lot of submissions, we can extend it to two days.
For an online edition we want to point out that a devroom can not be organised by one person alone. Especially during the event you will need at least 5 volunteers at hand to help out. It is the devroom manager responsibility to assemble this team.
