	GNUstep Developers Forum FOSDEM 2002 Brussels - February 16, 2002

Goal

The goal of this GNUstep developers session is to get to known each other (human networking doesn't do any harm :-), exchange our experience and knowledge, learn about unknown aspects of GNUstep (there are still things you don't know, do you ?), speak about where we are and where we want to go. And, above all, have fun!

All the leading developers will attend this forum so this is a great opportunity to learn more about GNUstep right from the source. The suggested conferences are not expected to be a "one-to-many" kind of talk but rather something like an introductory talk by the speaker for a couple of minutes and then an open discussion with the other developers.
