> **About this DevRoom**
>
> Configuration Management is exciting!  It is. Really. There is huge
> interest in automation, configuration management and especially PAAS,
> SAAS, IAAS and the cloud generally.  We're seeking people who are
> working the field, interested in the field, or just interested in
> learning more about how to make their lives easier with automation and
> configuration management.
>
> We invite you to submit talks on these topics:
>
> * Configuration Management theory principles
> * Configuration Management tools - real world use cases
> * Tools, techniques and case studies
> * Configuration Management and the Cloud
> * Configuration Management, Compliance and Security
>
> NOTE:  Puppet Labs is helping organise this room but we're looking for
> talks on more than Puppet!  We're looking for CFengine, Chef, bcfg2,
> AutomateIT, and the myriad of other tools out there.
>
> ** Your submission must include:**
>
>        * Your name
>
>        * The title of your talk
>
>        * A short abstract of one to two paragraphs (150 words, max.)
>
>        * A short biography
>
>        * Links to related websites/blogs etc.
>
> Send the abstracts to:
>
> fosdem2011 at puppetlabs.com
>
> Presentations are to be formal and not longer than 30 minutes, plus 15
> extra for questions (45 in total). Panels with more than one speaker are
> something we're also seeking, a "My configuration management tools is
> the awesomest and I'll debate that!" is possible, as are shorter
> presentations of 20 minutes.  We're also exploring some un-conference
> style presentations too.
>
> The deadline for submissions is January 8th 2011 December 2010. If your
> proposal has been accepted, you will be informed by email by January
> 10th 2011.
>
> Please feel free to forward this call for abstracts and papers to
> relevant lists, people and sites. We're looking forward to seeing lots
> of interested folks, have lots of spirited presentations, debates,
> discussion and ... quite possibly drinking.

Does somebody plan to propose a talk about puppet like Misc's speach
during the F14 release party in Paris ?
