ToDo
First things first. What is the kind of participation we want to have? Think big (but with your feet on the floor). There is always time to cut down. http://fosdem.org/2010/call_for_participation

Tracks
Maemo is closely aligned to four of the tracks in FOSDEM this year (not counting cross-desktop, which is an intersection of GNOME and KDE tracks).
Here you will find information about each of the tracks, including links to calls for papers and instructions to submit, and proposals that have been made for each track so far.
Mobile/Embedded
- Track chair
- Philippe de Swert
- Description
- The embedded/mobile room is the place to be for people with an interest in everything small, hidden, with different CPU's and/or a gadget or mobile device.
Here we discuss and present things like hacking your phone, PDA or router and everything about cross-compiling. The people that gather here are usually doing tons of cool stuff with small low-powered devices, from playing music to controlling big and complex systems.
- See the call for papers for submission details
KDE
- Description
- KDE is an international community that creates Free Software for desktop and portable computing. Among KDE's products are a modern desktop system for Linux and UNIX platforms, and comprehensive office productivity and groupware suites. KDE offers hundreds of software titles in many categories including web applications, multimedia, entertainment, educational, graphics and software development.
- Announcement
- Call for papers
- Closing date for submissions
- January 3rd, 2010
GNOME
- Track chair
- Christophe Fergeau
- Description
- The GNOME devroom will host talks about the GNOME Desktop Environment and its underlying technologies. Some of these talks will target developers wanting to learn about the latest happenings in GNOME, some others will be meant for a wider audience to present the latest evolutions of the GNOME desktop from a user point of view.
- Submission details
- Closing date for submissions
- January 10rd, 2010
Cross-desktop
- Track chair
- Kenny Duffus
- Submission details
- Submissions by email to Kenny
Crossdistro Summit
- Description
- We at FOSDEM want to push the envelope of our mission even further by organizing something along the lines of a "distribution summit" during FOSDEM 2010.
- The idea is that rather than having several distributions with their own respective and individual Developer Room, we will host mixed conference rooms where talks and sessions will be organized by topic, with contributors from all distributions attending and participating. Any linux distribution can participate.
- Call for participation
Devroom?
fosdem.org says:
Our goal for the developer rooms is to stimulate developer collaboration and cross-pollination between projects. We are reworking the concept of devrooms a bit, to better achieve those goals using the room capacity we have.
Lightning talks
15 minutes of fame: http://fosdem.org/2010/call_for_lightningtalks
