Hi folks,
The Belgian Ruby User Group is happy to announce the first Ruby and
Rails devroom at Fosdem 2008. Fosdem is a gathering of Free and Open
Source Software developers and the ideal occasion to meet fellow Ruby
and Rails developers (and 2,000 other FOSS developers). If you have a
good idea for a talk or tutorial, consider sending in an abstract. You
can find the Call for Papers at
http://wiki.rubyist.be/wiki/show/CallForPapers, and quoted below.
See you at Fosdem!
Kind regards,
Peter Vanbroekhoven

length depending on the response we receive.
Please send your abstract to cfp_fosdem-HVpKZSnb9xOZIoH1IeqzKA@public.gmane.org

2008. It will be reviewed by the program committee and you will
receive a decision by 14 January 2008 if your presentation is
accepted.
The program committee that will evaluate the proposals is comprised
of:

Sorry, we cannot give any travel grants to foreign visitors (local
hospitality with one of the organizers is possible to save hotel
costs). In past years, approx. 2,000 people visited the Fosdem
conference. More information on Fosdem can be found at
