For anyone (considering) attending FOSDEM in February, there's a new "Alt-OS"
devroom - essentially an "anything but linux" spot. The room was requested by,
and will be organized by, some of the folks who were in the "!Linux" meeting at
the GSoC Mentor's Summit. I'm in that group, but won't be attending FOSDEM.

If anyone's attending, consider stopping by. In addition to just
hearing about what
else is going on out there, the people here are explicitly interested
in working with
others to exchange ideas and/or code. We're a bit farther afield than most, but
we're not the only oddballs. There have been some potentially interesting
discussions about common drivers (although it currently looks stalled on UDI).

If anyone who knows how FOSDEM devrooms work (not I!) and will be attending
would like to propose something to fill the room, please let me know
off-list and I
can forward it along. You'd have to run whatever it is you're proposing.
