Hello,<br><br>--8<---<br><br><div>
<p><a href="http://www.fosdem.org" target="_blank">FOSDEM</a> is one of the largest
gatherings of Free Software contributors in the world and happens each
February in Brussels (Belgium). One of the tracks will be the Desktops
DevRoom (formerly known as “CrossDesktop DevRoom”), which will host
Desktop-related talks.</p>
<p>We are now inviting proposals for talks about Free/Libre/Open-source
Software on the topics of Desktop development, Desktop applications and
interoperability amongst Desktop Environments. This is a unique
opportunity to show novel ideas and developments to a wide technical
audience.</p>
<p>Topics accepted include, but are not limited to: Enlightenment,
Gnome, KDE, Unity, XFCE, LXQt, Windows, Mac OS X, software development
for the desktop, general desktop matters, applications that enhance
desktops and web (when related to desktop).</p>
<p>Talks can be very specific, such as the advantages/disadvantages of
development with Qt on Wayland over X11/Mir; or as general as
predictions for the fusion of Desktop and web in 5 years time. Topics
that are of interest to the users and developers of all desktop
environments are especially welcome. The <a href="https://archive.fosdem.org/2014/schedule/track/desktops/" target="_blank">FOSDEM 2014 schedule</a> might give you some inspiration.</p>

minutes. Longer duration requests must be properly justified. You may be

held on the weekend of January 31st-February 1st 2015 and the Desktops
