[Kieran Kunhya]

Hi all,

Following a successful Open Media room at FOSDEM 2015 and 2016, we are
organizing another Open Media room at FOSDEM 2017, and we are looking for
propositions of talks and panels. FOSDEM is one of the largest (5,000+
hackers!) gatherings of Free Software contributors in the world and happens
each February in Brussels (Belgium, Europe).

This year, the Open Media devroom will take place on:
Sunday, February 5th, 2017.


# About the Open Media devroom

The Open Media room will focus on all Free & Open Source media projects,
including software and hardware, spanning from building audio & video
applications, through standards, formats, codecs, video analytics and
search to Web video, IPTV, broadcasting and radio practices and much more.
If you're interested in video, image or audio technologies, and the breadth
of available open source technologies and communities for media - the Open
Media room is for you! For more information about the previous year
