Hello GCC hackers!

You might know it already but the 2012 edition of the FOSDEM[1]
conference is approaching. Fast. It turns out the GNU project will have
a dedicated development room this time. So it would be nice if GCC
people could talk about their work there.

Please find below the formal Call for paper of the GNU Development Room.

     (FOSDEM) is a two-day event organized by volunteers to promote the
     widespread use of Free and Open Source software.
