FOSDEM 2007

So it's autumn again, which means that the organization of FOSDEM is going to start its work again. I haven't been doing much in the central organization; however, I have been organizing the Debian presence there since 2004.

This year, organizing FOSDEM will have an extra interesting edge, since they had a rather dramatic disc failure on their webserver and no backups, meaning, they'll have to build a new website. Apparently they chose to use Drupal (a project which occasionally was started by fellow Antwerp developer Dries Buytaert) rather than reinstalling their homebrewn CMS again.

Anyway. A few weeks back I sent an SMS to the guy who did the Devrooms on FOSDEM side last year, asking whether I could get one for Debian this year, seen how their site was down and that they might've lost my contact information. Yesterday, I received a reply that he wanted an email instead. Fair enough, so I did that immediately. Haven't received a reply or an acknowledgement yet, though; that may not have been unexpected.

In any case, I updated the website, which should be enough for now. Let's see what happens.
