FOSDEM 2024

[Zwelf]

Hi, I'm wondering if the wildfire games developers would be interested in a joined stand on FOSDEM 2024 with DDNet. DDNet, like 0ad, is a complete free and open-source game with a decently sized community. The game mechanic differ from 0ad: DDNet is a 2D cooperative precision platformer. 2023 was my first in person FOSDEM, I met 2 other DDNet developers and we had a great time. I didn't get a stand in 2023 (and I didn't see a 0ad stand). All the approved stands were from really big open-source projects, so I though maybe a joined submission might have higher changes of success.

Any thoughts?

We had our stand before, just haven't submitted our application this year.

We had no problem to get a stand in previous years (according to Stan we had no rejections at all).

We haven't considered to have a stand yet.

Personally I plan to give a lightning talk (like I did in 2019-2021) and I'd like to have a stand. But I need to have my visa approved first.

Thanks, maybe the way for me is to also do a lightning talk, that might reduce the barrier for a stand in the future.

I hope you get your visa approved and I hope I can see you on FOSDEM
