Re: [retrocomputing devroom] FOSDEM 2020 - Retrocomputing DevRoom Call for Participation

Hi all,

Note that I will make a presentation on the Linux Framebuffer
(Graphics devroom) in which NetSurf will be mentionned (mainly on
libnsfb part).
For sure, a dedicated presentation about NetSurf would be really interesting!
