FOSDEM GNU Classpath developer room

[Mark Wielaard]

Hi Hackers!

The FOSDEM organisation has been so nice to provide us with a developer
room during the conference during the weekend of February 26 and 27 in
the beautiful city of Brussels, Belgium. We asked a couple of people to
give talks and reserved some time to have technical planning and
discussion sessions.

Everybody interested in any way in GNU Classpath, gcj, kaffe or any
other related free software project is invited to join us.

For more information on FOSDEM see http://www.fosdem.org/
When we have more details about the program, talks and discussion
sessions we will publish them here (currently still empty):
