+<h2>GNU Classpath and friends meeting during Fosdem 2006</h2>
+
+<i>Fosdem, Saturday/Sunday 25/26 February 2006, Brussels, Belgium</i>
+<p>
+The various free software library, runtimes, compiler and tool
+projects around GNU Classpath will meet in Brussel to discuss what has
+happened in the last year in the Free Software community and what the
+next year will bring us during Fosdem.
+<p>
+The 6th edition of FOSDEM (Free and Opensource Software Developers'
+European Meeting) will take place on February 25+26 2006 in Brussels
+(Belgium), at the Solbosch Campus of the ULB (Free University of
+Brussels). FOSDEM is a free and non-commercial event for the community
+and organized by the community.
+See <a href="http://www.fosdem.org/">http://www.fosdem.org/</a>.

+ <h3>Saturday from 13:00 to 17:00 - "End-User talks"</h3>
+
+ <p>
+ Presentations that show what cool stuff can be done with the Free
+ Stack right now.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <b>Putting the 'Free' into JFreeChart</b>
+ <i>Dave Gilbert, JFreeChart Project Leader</i>
+ <p>
+ A review of the efforts to make JFreeChart work with GNU
+ Classpath-based runtimes, including a brief history, a demonstration
+ of the current state (using the java bindings for Cairo), and an
+ overview of the work that remains to be done.
+ </p>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <b>Using Eclipse for GNU Classpath development</b>
+ <i>Tom Tromey</i>
+ <p>
+ Learn how to setup a fully working development environment based
+ on GNU Classpath in Eclipse that can be used to bootstrap the full
+ free toolchain (and can be used to run Eclipse itself) in just 10
+ minutes.
+ </p>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <b>Eclipse RCP and GCJ/GIJ</b>
+ <i>Wayne Beaton</i>
+ <p>
+ Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) is a runtime platform for
+ delivering your Java applications on multiple platforms. RCP is far
+ more than just a windowing toolkit; it is rich client "middleware"
+ that provides a comprehensive framework for building and deploying
+ applications that are modular, extensible, and updatable. The kinds
+ of applications you can build with Eclipse RCP are limited only by
+ your imagination. During this talk, we will discuss how the Eclipse
+ RCP can be used in conjunction with the Eclipse Eco-system and
+ GCJ/GIJ to build high quality applications.
+ </p>

+ <h3>Sunday from 09:00 to 13:00 - "Developer talks"</h3>
+
+ <p>
+ Presentations of (core) libraries and runtimes that are in progress,
+ made a lot of progress in the last year and are in active development.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <b>Free Swing, past, present and future</b>
+ <i>Roman Kennke</i>
+ <p>
+ An overview of that state of Free Swing one year ago, what has been
+ done in the meantime, what still must be done and which applications
+ work now.
+ </p>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <b>The Free CORBA comes</b>
+ <i>Dr Audrius Meskauskas</i>
+ <p>
+ If the Free world does not want to step back in the battle, we need
+ a complete set of the Free tools for advanced communication over
+ the network. For our CORBA implementation we needed:
+ <p>
+ <ol>
+ <li> Free. No classes with restricted license.
+ <li> Fully workable, interoperable and pass tests, recognized by
+ the CORBA user community as serious (we needed to find a well
+ known Free testing suite).
+ <li> Properly commented, being ready for the long life in the Free
+ world.
+ <li> No pressure to use the outdated approaches.
+ CORBA 3.0.3 and jdk 1.5.
+ </ol>
+ <p>
+ To reach these goals, we have chosen for implementing a clean room
+ implementation, using the published standard specifications only.
+ During the recent year of the GNU Classpath development, this goal
+ is in large degree achieved. The important directions of future
+ development could be providing features that are outside the scope
+ of the both CORBA standard and Sun API, but included in the near all
+ proprietary implementations (SSH, HTTP and other bridges, get rid of
+ rmic code generator for RMI/IIOP, fault tolerant behavior, reduced
+ the footprint and others).
+ </p>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <b>The JamVM runtime</b>
+ <i>Robert Lougher</i>
+ <p>
+ An overview of the JamVM virtual machine, with comparisons to other
+ GNU Classpath runtimes, and a section on the VM interface.
+ </p>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <b>Integrating Vmgen-based interpreters</b>
+ <i>Christian Thalinger</i>
+ <p>
+ Vmgen is a tool for writing efficient interpreters. The Cacao
+ runtime recently added a Vmgen based interpreter in addition to
+ the JIT engine.
+ </p>
+ </p>
+

+<boxitem>
+ <h3>Sunday from 14:00 to 17:30 - "The Future"</h3>
+
+ <p>
+ Interactive technical hacker discussions on how to integrate
+ the projects more and move forward in the next year.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ <b>State of the world, beyond japi</b>
+ <i>Mark Wielaard, GNU Classpath Maintainer</i>
+ <p>
+ After a short overview of the various free stacks, libraries,
+ compilers, tools and runtimes this session is mostly open discussion
+ about what work remains to be done and how to integrate the various
+ efforts better. Ideas for work items welcome.
