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

Taking place in the beautiful city of Brussels (Belgium), FOSDEM meetings are recognized as "The best Free Software and Open Source events in Europe".

I'm (of course) going to FOSDEM (again) this year, on Sunday 24 February.

FYI, a LinkedIn group has been created for those who will attend the event.

There's also a FOSDEM channel on fidzu available for your enjoyment.

And last but not least, Emakina, the company I work for, is an official FOSDEM sponsor, and is hiring...

I've been very busy these last months, and unfortunately I had no time to blog, nor work on WYMeditor.
Things are finally getting back to normal, though I must admit I currently don't have so much time for the project...

Anyway, we have started to refactor WYMeditor's code, cleaning up the global object, moving classes to the WYMeditor namespace, and so on. No new feature, but I think the code is getting better and easier to maintain.
Next step: use NaturalDocs for the code documentation.

As a preview for the next features - true WYSIWYM editing, better event handling - a prototype written by Volker Mische (one year ago !) is available.
Volker has already implemented the Selection API for Gecko browsers.
This SAPI, and a better event handling, are required for a true WYSIWYM behaviour.

As always, any help is welcome. Please feel free to send a patch for current open issues, or drop me a mail (jf.hovinne at wymeditor dot org) if you have any suggestion - thanks!

And PS: sorry for the late news!
