I would be very interested and could give a brief presentation of what we do with Org-mode at our institute.

Warm regards,
 Stefan

Having an Org meet-up would be one more great reason to attend FOSDEM
this year! :)

Second attempt to reply! I would like to attend and possibly talk about
using org with jekyll if anyone thinks it might be interesting.

Thanks for getting this started.

I always like to go to FOSDEM and eat some Belgian waffles :-)

Sure, I could talk about taskjuggler integration.

Hi all,

I will not be able to participate.
Will there be videos?

Personally I would be more interested to watch a session where a "power org user" shows how he uses org daily instead of another introduction to the basics.
Maybe others too would simply like to share the ideas that have grown over time by expert org users.

This could also become an emacs advertisement video ...

Best,
Rainer

Re: Re: Orgmode meetup at FOSDEM, February 2011. Who would come?

[Jeff Horn]

+1 to power user talks and +1 to videos.

For sure, I would definitely like to be there.

I'm (currently -- let's hope it will change) only a user of Org. I could
accept giving a talk if I have something _really_ interesting (for the others)
to tell or show.

Best regards,

I do find the number of people indicating an interest to come  
encouraging.

Is there anyone stepping forward to take charge of getting more  
information
about possible costs etc?  More importantly: who will write the  
proposal, or
at least make a start?

Re: Orgmode meetup at FOSDEM, February 2011. Who would come?

[Richard Moreland]

Based off of [1], we need the following: devroom name, description,
and related URLs.  For description, they suggest including the room's
topic, goals and target projects.  Something like:

Org-mode is a [some marketing words..].

The Org-mode devroom will include a collection of talks from its
author as well as speakers representing various other components of
Org-mode.  In addition, the group will discuss the direction of
Org-mode, identify additional tools that would be useful to surround
Org-mode, as well as make a plan for widening its audience and making
it more accessible to new users.

Some of our proposed talks include:
- Org-babel
- GTD with Org-mode
- Sceintific applications
- Sharing Org-mode data with other applications (TaskJuggler, ..?)
- Org-mode on the iPhone, Android and Nokia devices
- Managing websites with Org-mode (jekyll integration, built-in publishing, etc)
- Power user demonstrations/tip sharing
- The future of Org-mode

Goals:
- Expose new and existing Org-mode users to demonstrations/application
of features they might not have otherwise discovered
- Identify new applications of Org-mode, help users get started
using/customizing Org-mode for their domain
- Collect members from the Org-mode mailing list in a single place for
the first time
- Share and refine the direction of Org-mode
- Identify how contributors can help with Org-mode
development/documentation/etc.
- Plan for making Org-mode easier to get started with

Related URLs:

- http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/index.php
- http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-screencasts/index.php
- http://mobileorg.ncogni.to/
- etc.

I'm not sure what 'target projects' could mean in their suggestion for
the description.  Any ideas?

Hope this helps as a start, feel free to scrap it and start over if
someone else has a better vision.

Hi,

Should we put this on Worg and let people edit it?

I found this link [1] to a proposal of the GNUstep project. It gives
an idea of what is meant by 'target projects'. Essentially, it's a
list of projects that would participate in the devroom.

I'd been half way through writing one, when I saw this. Seems good! :)

Hi Richard,

tanks for starting this, it looks pretty good.

Still we need someone who says "I will organize this".
Who will do that?

Most importantly, we need to know if any money is
involved, including registration fees.

I also think we should add a section in the 'Comments' field of the
form that says why we think Org-mode should get a devroom (or at least
a portion of one).  It may be helpful to identify approximately how
many users are on the mailing list, downloads/month, as well as note
that it is included in Emacs so there may be many more.  Whoever fills
out the form on the website should probably get this information from
Carsten before submitting.

If no one else volunteers, I will.

I've looked through the website quite a bit, and it is free for all
participants.  The only additional costs will be hotel accommodations,
food, and possibly parking/transportation to get there.  It sounds
like breakfast and lunch can be purchased on-site, but dinner would be
on your own.

Perhaps the organizer could find a good place meet for dinner for
those who don't have other plans.

We need to have the entry form submitted prior to October 16, but the
earlier the better is my opinion.  On October 23 they announce who was
accepted, at which point we should begin formalizing plans for talks,
participants, etc.

I can confirm that FOSDEM is completely free, as in free speach and free
beer. Speaking of which, there is a traditionnal "beer event" on Friday
evening in Brussels which is quite... interresting to attend ;-)

Oh, almost forgot, thanks for Org-mode !

We are getting close to the deadline for the application for a dev room.
I will be on holiday and off-line for a week tomorrow, so I do not have
time to work on this next week. I would love for this to happen, so the
question is if I have to do this tonight (when the kids are in bed and I
should do the packing, my wife is going to love this :-)), next Saturday
or if I can rely on you to do this application.

Also when doing the application I would open up the dev room to Emacs
hackers in general, i.e. when mentioning the participating projects
simply add Gnu Emacs. I'm sure if we offer a venue there are some Emacs
hackers that are willing to come and participate. This will hopefully
increase our chances of getting a room.

So in essence I would change the application as follows:

* Devroom name

Org-mode and Emacs hackers

* Devroom description

** Topics

Org-mode is for keeping notes, maintaining ToDo lists, doing project
planning, and authoring with a fast and effective plain-text system.
Org-mode is based on GNU Emacs, an extensible, customizable text editor.

*** Org-mode

The Org-mode devroom will include a collection of talks from its author
as well as speakers representing various other components of Org-mode.
Developers will discuss the direction of Org-mode, identify additional
tools that would be useful to surround Org-mode, as well as make a plan
for widening its audience and making it more accessible to new users.

*** Emacs development

Emacs development has seen a renewed interest in the last years. There
is a lot of activity in the developer community. Therefore this devroom
will not only host many fine Org-mode Emacs Lisp hackers but is also
open for other Emacs Lisp related subjects around developing with or for
Emacs.

*** Proposed Talks

Some of our proposed talks include:
- Org-babel a system for Literate Programming
- GTD with Org-mode
- Scientific applications
- Sharing Org-mode data with other applications (TaskJuggler, ..?)
- Org-mode on the iPhone, Android and Nokia devices
- Managing websites with Org-mode (jekyll integration, built-in publishing, etc)
- Power user demonstrations/tip sharing
- The future of Org-mode

** Goals
- Expose new and existing Org-mode users to demonstrations/application
  of features they might not have otherwise discovered
- Identify new applications of Org-mode, help users get started
  using/customizing Org-mode for their domain  
- Collect members from the Org-mode mailing list in a single place for
  the first time
- Share and refine the direction of Org-mode
- Identify how contributors can help with Org-mode development/documentation/etc. 
- Plan for making Org-mode easier to get started with

** Target Projects
- Org-mode
- Emacs development

* Name of the responsible

- Richard Moreland
- Christian Egli

* Email

- rlm@ncogni.to
- christian.egli@sbs.ch

* Relation to the topic

What ever you fancy, e.g

- community manager
- developer

* Remarks

Org-mode is a good match for FOSDEM since it brings together a diverse
community across many platforms (Unix, Windows, Mac, Mobile) and fosters
a renaissance of text-only power tools.

Thanks
Christian

Thanks Christian.  I agree with your changes, and I have no problem
following through with the application submission.

If anyone has changes to make or suggestions for improving upon the
updated proposal, please follow up soon.  I'd like to get it submitted
sooner than later in case there is any type of 'first come first
served' weighting.  If no one objects, I'll submit it on 10/10.

Hi Richard,

The FOSDEM site says,

  2010-10-23: Acceptance notification of devrooms

Wondering if you have any news on this.

Best,
Puneeth

Re: Re: Orgmode meetup at FOSDEM, February 2011. Who would come?

[Richard Moreland]

Hi Puneeth,

Nothing yet, unfortunately.  I'll keep the list posted as soon as I hear anything.

Devroom assignment still in the make

This is just a short notice that we are still working on the devroom
assignment  for FOSDEM 2011.

We received 36 valid proposals, but have only 24 'devroom days' to
distribute over the weekend (not counting the distribution miniconf).

Many proposals are also true collaborative proposals, making the
decision even harder. 

Please bare with us for one or two more days, while we finalize the
devroom allocation. 
----------------------------------------------------------

so let's wait utill wednesday 27 ;-)

Re: Re: Orgmode meetup at FOSDEM, February 2011. Who would come?

[Richard Moreland]

The FOSDEM site was recently updated to show the list of accepted
devrooms, and unfortunately we didn't make the final list of 24.  Thanks
to all who contributed ideas or suggestions to our proposal.

That being said, I'd still like to suggest a meetup at some point.  I
think we have some good momentum in that direction, there are just more
variables to manage without FOSDEM providing the date, location and
infrastructure.

Perhaps someone on the list can suggest a meeting place that would make
sense for our group?

Thanks,
Richard
