Hi Richard,

tanks for starting this, it looks pretty good.

Still we need someone who says "I will organize this".
Who will do that?

Most importantly, we need to know if any money is
involved, including registration fees.

Based off of [1], we need the following: devroom name, description,
and related URLs.  For description, they suggest including the room's
topic, goals and target projects.  Something like:

Org-mode is a [some marketing words..].

The Org-mode devroom will include a collection of talks from its
author as well as speakers representing various other components of
Org-mode.  In addition, the group will discuss the direction of
Org-mode, identify additional tools that would be useful to surround
Org-mode, as well as make a plan for widening its audience and making
it more accessible to new users.

Some of our proposed talks include:
- Org-babel
- GTD with Org-mode
- Sceintific applications
- Sharing Org-mode data with other applications (TaskJuggler, ..?)
- Org-mode on the iPhone, Android and Nokia devices
- Managing websites with Org-mode (jekyll integration, built-in publishing, etc)
- Power user demonstrations/tip sharing
- The future of Org-mode

Goals:
- Expose new and existing Org-mode users to demonstrations/application
of features they might not have otherwise discovered
- Identify new applications of Org-mode, help users get started
using/customizing Org-mode for their domain
- Collect members from the Org-mode mailing list in a single place for
the first time
- Share and refine the direction of Org-mode
- Identify how contributors can help with Org-mode
development/documentation/etc.
- Plan for making Org-mode easier to get started with

Related URLs:

- http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/index.php
- http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-screencasts/index.php
- http://mobileorg.ncogni.to/
- etc.

I'm not sure what 'target projects' could mean in their suggestion for
the description.  Any ideas?

Hope this helps as a start, feel free to scrap it and start over if
someone else has a better vision.

I do find the number of people indicating an interest to come encouraging.

Is there anyone stepping forward to take charge of getting more information about possible costs etc? More importantly: who will write the proposal, or
at least make a start?
