I already know Clojure. Do you think you want to make a devroom? Any ideas?

I am too much a newbie in clojure to start this project. I would however be interested in attending talks about clojure at voeren, if there would be one.

What do people do in a devroom? Maybe I could do something but I'm also afraid a bit 😄

I think one fun thing would be to solve 8 queens problem with core.logic. That would be alright. I've already done it and I could probably write it from scratch again. But probably they don't want presentation and would want to bring their own laptops to try some stuff instead :thinking_face: Edit: But it's also too much to understand for newbies

The usual format is to give talks for either 20 or 40 minutes. I wouldn't go for a "hands on" tutorial as there are too much attendees for that.

Talks can be destinated to newbies as well experienced people. As there are many devrooms at fosdem people move from devroom to devroom in between talks

The conference is totally free to everyone

I've attended two conferences :thinking_face: But I don't remember how it was 😄 Edit: physical ones

Talks are recorded by video and freely available on the internet. You can check how previous real-life conferences were. The last one was in 2019.

Random golang devroom from 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNulSprd2Ng&list=PLtLJO5JKE5YDK74RZm67xfwaDgeCj7oqb

What could we talk about in this kind of room? Wouldn't it be too much?

What do you mean with "too much"?

Example subjects: immutability and multi-threads, making a website with clojure, code is data ...

My question is more about whether we'd be able to drag it through the whole day :thinking_face: There are about 5 hours of golang in that playlist from a single conf :thinking_face:

I think one or two talks could be nice. But all day may be too much :thinking_face:

You can ask for a half day devroom too

And maybe it can be broadened by calling it clojure and lisp devroom

Actually we could simply have a session where some guy just solves a kata or something :thinking_face: This way people would see how clojure can be used :thinking_face: But well... it has to be something big maybe. Because people are coming from abroad (me too) and it's just a guy coding... so probably not good enough :thinking_face:

Well, this subject doesn't seem to attract much interest, except yours of course. I'd say we'd need at least 4 or 5 people to organise this...
