I added an "Upcoming events" section to the UserGroups page in the GNOME wiki and added Solutions Linux and Fosdem as two upcoming events where there will be a GNOME France presence.

I think that this kind of section is essential to make that page "live". User groups aren't just contact information, and many user groups have a presence at local conferences which most people don't know about. So tell everyone about it - you never know who might drop in.

Fosdem

Thanks to Damien Sandras, there is a GNOME developers room set aside in Fosdem which GNOME people are free to schedule as they want, but currently there are no talks planned for it - there are 3 KDE talks planned.

I'm not sure who the person to contact is to be able to add and solicit talks (perhaps Damien could say?), but Fosdem is a great conference, and it would be good to have 3 or 4 GNOME related talks in the developers room.

Update: Dodji Seketeli is looking after the GNOME developers room for Fosdem, and so far several talks are planned, but the page hasn't yet been updated.
