Re: FOSDEM Desktops DevRoom 2016 Call for Participation

["Zeeshan Ali (Khattak)" <zeeshanak gnome org>]

Hi Christophe,

While I greatly appreciate your (and of everyone involved) voluntary
work on organising the devroom, I really wish we did not put all these
big projects into one devroom for just one day. Is there any way we
could get GNOME it's own devroom (even for a day) in FOSDEM 2017?

Thanks again for organising the devroom!
