Why do i get the feeling that the order of importance of that list is the 
actual inverse of the ordering in that sentence? How many kilos did you 
"smuggle" out again last year?

This isn't about funding, the devroom itself at FOSDEM is completely 
free, we just need to show up in reasonable numbers. If FOSDEM were
officially sanctioned by the board, then sufficient attendance would be 
almost certain.

It would've been better if this call for devrooms was a few weeks later, 
so it would've cleared campaigning (for which i was hoping), but things 
are what they are.

Anyway, great to hear that you will be attending as well :)

This brings the list up to:
Jerome Glisse
Stephane Marchesin
Daniel Stone
Matthieu Herrb
Rene Rebe
Egbert Eich
Keith Packard

Xorg developers, please get me a few more names here, so i can give the 
FOSDEM organisers a resounding "YES! We _need_ a DevRoom!".
