To whom does not know, FOSDEM is one of the biggest Open source conferences. It is free, it does not require subscription, and it happens during a weekend (1 and 2 february) at bruxelles at the university ULB ( https://fosdem.org/2020/practical/transportation/) . It requires some human engagement only.
This is a good place not only for Pharo, but for all open source projects Smalltalk related. And finally for smalltalk it self.

On the available rooms where we could show something

IOT (https://fosdem.org/2020/schedule/track/internet_of_things/ )
   Allex? maybe you can show some of the things we are doing here?
   Mariano Peck? I don't know if your IOT work is or not open source. But if it is. it could be a good place for showing

BigData (https://fosdem.org/2020/schedule/track/hpc_big_data_and_data_science/)
     I could propose the EQL experiment with Map reduce? Is it a good Idea? .
     Matteo You could present something on debugging nodes.
     Oleks I remember you had some big data related stuff (sorry for the lack of detail awareness :) )

 Communication (https://fosdem.org/2020/schedule/track/collaborative_information_and_content_management_applications/
https://fosdem.org/2020/schedule/track/coding_for_language_communities/ )
    Offray! I think there is space for graphoscope in here. If you can give a talk, great, if not, i propose my self to be the speaker (of course in that case i will need some couching and teaching on the usage).
 
 Debugging Tools
     Matteo! you could also propose your work in here
     Steven  You have already a talk prepared no?
     Thomas You have already a talk prepared no?
     Guille  I know you are completely out of reach, but, what about your debugging multi level for the VM? If you want we can propose it together with Pablo.


  Minimalistic / Emerging Language
      Steph with Pharo  
      Carolina The bootstraping for minimallistic language is a good talk and it would not require much preparation since you have already a talk prepared
      Steph/Pablo maybe something on stateful traits?   
 
   Open research tools
       Anne/Nico/Cyril/Julian/Benoit Moose? We have to have a talk on moose. Or even many. We could propose moose as platform, but i think it would be better to present it by it fruits. The same as before, i would not mind to give the presentation if couching and slides are provided.
       Serge PolyMath??
       Nick  Lands! Such a beatiful project. Not sure if it completely fit in here. I think so. Sorry if not :).
     

On the pharo stand

I am doing what is required to have a stand for Pharo this year.
I will keep you updated, if we got it, i would really like to have posters not only of Pharo, but also of our more stable and powerful frameworks, the research teams and enterprises that work with it . And of course I will need some help for the stand (specially if it happens that i have some talk)

Maybe we could use this thread for discussing organization and a second one to gather abstracts and applications.

I could present TaskIT of course, but i don't feel it matching in the proposed categories. There is not debugging, nor emerging minimalist language nor research tools. I will check on the other rooms to see if i find a place where i can do it.

That is great. We should post in all of them if possible.
I think that Steven could show object centric debugging, someone (anne maybe? ) present moose. and for minimalistic experimental emerging languages carolina could propose candle and the bootstrap processes.
I think that Steven and Carolina talks are mature enough after all the trials, and a moose talk could be really cool. Maybe Julien's SQL or Benoit's translations should be really good for catching potential students and specially some investment capital for the team :).

Sadly me i don't have much to show :(.
But if we have the stand i plan to be there.

TaskIt?
I could do a presentation of Pharo in the minimalist…. and carolina a talk showing how to bootstrap.

I do not know in which one we want to participate 

Debugging Tools
Minimalistic, Experimental and Emerging Languages
Open Research Tools and Technologies

How do we coordinate?
