===FOSDEM2012 - Open Source Game Development: Call for Speakers===
 
''Saturday, November 19 2011''
 
 
FOSDEM2012 will host a devroom centered on the development of Free and Open Source Games. Possible speakers (and topic suggestions) are invited to make their proposals. The game development devroom takes place on Sunday, February 5th, 09:00 - 17:00 in room AW1.120 (74 seats). Please have a look at [http://forums.wesnoth.org/viewtopic.php?t=35489 this forum thread] to read the call for speakers.
 
 
 
===Open Source Games at FOSDEM 2012===
 
''Friday, November 11 2011''
 
 
Finally some news not directly related to a new release. Several contributors to Wesnoth have been meeting at FOSDEM for the last 4 years where we took the opportunity to discuss things in person as well as meeting each other. We [http://wiki.wesnoth.org/Fosdem2011#FOSDEM_2012 talked about] eventually trying to get a whole devroom where things can be presented and discussed. During the GSoC Mentor summit at the end of October one topic discussed with other organizations was the creation of such a devroom. Some hours ago the accepted devrooms were announced and the result is:
 
 
There will be an "Open Source Game Development" related devroom at [http://fosdem.org/2012/ FOSDEM 2012].
 
 
Of course things won't stop there. Since several organizations (including [http://www.wesnoth.org Battle for Wesnoth], [http://www.hedgewars.org Hedgewars], [http://www.unknown-horizons.org Unknown Horizons], [http://www.scummvm.org ScummVM] and [http://www.worldforge.org WorldForge]) agreed on collaborating in this room, further things will be discussed on neutral grounds. There is a [https://lists.fosdem.org/listinfo/open-source-gamedev-devroom mailing list] provided by the FOSDEM folks where we can discuss things. There will also be a "call for speakers" soon. Possible topics can include anything related to open source gaming, meaning it could be about porting to specific platforms, artworks (graphics and sound), translations, working on AI, encouraging UMC contributions or whatever you can think about in regards to open source gaming. The only limit I personally see is that the speaker should have some background in an open source gaming related project e.g. by being a contributor in the area they want to talk about.
 
 
Now to the basic facts about the dev room:
 
* Date: Sunday, February 5th, 09:00 - 17:00
 
* Place: FOSDEM2012 in Brussels, Room AW1.120 with 74 seats
 
* Topic: Anything "Open Source Game Development" related possible!

===Wesnoth joins the "Free Game Alliance"===
 
''Wednesday, October 19 2011''
 
 
Last month we were approached by Luca Pancallo from the [http://www.freegamealliance.com/ Free Game Alliance], asking if we would like to join a new initiative to sustain open source and open game development and we agreed.

The alliance is intended to promote their members visibility on the internet. The other games that are currently part of the alliance include:
