FOSDEM is one of the largest gatherings of Free Software contributors�in the world and happens each February in Brussels (Belgium). One of�the tracks will be the CrossDesktop �DevRoom, which will host�Desktop-related talks.

We are now inviting proposals for talks about Free/Libre/Open-source�Software on the topics of Desktop development, Desktop applications�and interoperativity amongst Desktop Environments. This is a unique�opportunity to show novel ideas and developments to a wide technical�audience.

Topics accepted include, but are not limited to: Enlightenment, Gnome,�KDE, Unity, XFCE, Windows, Mac OS X, general desktop matters,�applications that enhance desktops and web (when related to desktop).

Talks can be very specific, such as developing mobile applications�with Qt Quick; or as general as predictions for the fusion of Desktop�and web in 5 years time. Topics that are of interest to the users and�developers of all desktop environments are especially welcome. The�FOSDEM 2012 schedule might give you some inspiration:
