+<h2>Escape the Java Trap! - GNU Classpath Hacker Room</h2>
+
+<i>Fosdem, Saturday/Sunday 26/27 February 2005, Brussels, Belgium</i>
+<p>
+The Fosdem organisation has generously offered the developers of
+various projects around GNU classpath the opportunity to meet face
+to face in their own developer room.
+<p>
+We have brought together a wide range of different speakers from
+various projects that together provide a free software alternative to
+the proprietary java platform. Developers from these various projects
+will come from all over the world to discuss cooperation and to make
+development plans to the next year.
+<p>
+You are very welcome to join us and learn about the IKVM architecture
+and how to freely mix and match traditional java and .net applications
+and libraries, how GNU and Apache developers can and should work
+together, how you can do rapid GNOME desktop development through
+java-gnome, how researchers are using GNU Classpath to do cutting edge
+research into Just In Time compilation, see demonstrations of
+lightning fast native eclipse, learn what will be possible with GNU
+Classpath and GCC 4.0, whether Kaffe will ever release their version
+1.1.5, what we think about compatibility, freedom vs control and
+learn how you can create your own GNU Compiler Collection frontend for
+languages such as the 1.5 java programming language.
