Hi,
FOSDEM 2017 deadlines are soon.
Do we want to have a full developer room, a talk or just a stand?
Unfortunately I won't be able to attend, so someone else will have to be the formal contact for organizing our stand/devroom/talk. I will help with submitting proposals if this is desired by the person organizing our stand/devroom/...
Who is willing to take care of our FOSDEM 2017 presence?

Deadlines:
Developer Rooms: 9 September Main Track Talks: 10 October Stands: 31 October Lightning talks: 25 November
Regards, Carl-Daniel

I see that the wiki indicates there will be a Coreboot table this year !
As I'll try to come to FOSDEM again this year, I thought I could help with the Coreboot stand. I could bring a bunch of CrOS devices running (upstream) Coreboot and various tools (programmers, clips, etc) and maybe a G505s too.
Are other people interested in helping with the stand? Perhaps we should start coordinating since FOSDEM isn't that very far away now.
Also, I was wondering about next year: perhaps it would make sense to organize a low-level developer room, oriented towards topics such as boot software (including Coreboot, Libreboot, U-Boot, OpenPOWER, etc) as well as hardware- support aspects in Linux and standalone firmware (such as EC). It seems that what came closest to it in the past years (and this one included) is the Embedded devroom, which isn't really a good fit, so it feels like FOSDEM is missing out on these topics each year.
What do you think of the idea?
Cheers!
