Hi,

[FOSDEM](https://fosdem.org/2024/) is one of the most remarkable events for free software and opensource developers, advocates, humans, and robots.

The event contains two main streams - the talks selected by the organizers and covering various general topics and the [developer rooms.](https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/tracks/)

The developer rooms are spread across multiple buildings at the venue and are focused around specific concepts, technologies, and ideas. This is where the fun is.

Apart from the [Mozilla room](https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/call-for-talks-fosdem-2024/124148) where this community usually is, many other topics allow you to shine and contribute back to the community.

Since the deadline is approaching (Dec1-5 for the majority of the devrooms), I’d like to encourage you to take a [look at the rooms](https://fosdem.org/2024/news/2023-11-08-devrooms-announced/), find one or more that you could contribute to, and propose a topic. It takes no more than 10-15 min.

Next year, there will be even one new room about the [future of the e-mail](https://dev.to/bogomil/the-modern-email-devroom-at-fosdem-is-looking-for-proposals-36ef).

Maybe you could help shape it?

This is great @bogomil. You may want to share this with Thunderbird folks.

For Mozilla contributors, we also have [an open call for volunteers](https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/call-for-volunteers-fosdem-2024-brussels-belgium-3-4th-of-february-2024/124227) (deadline is Dec 8th) for those of you who are based in Europe and [a call for proposal](https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/call-for-talks-fosdem-2024/124148) (deadline is Dec 1st) for the Mozilla Devroom if you’re interested in giving a talk.
