Gentoo stand
Gentoo has a stand at FOSDEM 2017, following up last year's successful stand. We are located at K (level 1, group B) 2 between ReactOS/Haiku and CoreOS.
As last year we expect to announce a new livecd during FOSDEM 2017
The following is an hour-by-hour schedule of who is running the stand. The plan is to have always two devs present, with overlapping two-hour slots (i.e., 10h-12h, 12h-14h, ... and 9h-11h, 11h-13h, 13h-15h, ...) (At start and end there are shorter slots, but these obviously also involve build-up and teardown.)

Gentoo OpenPGP Web of Trust
Gentoo will not host a key signing party this year, but participants are encouraged to exchange and verify OpenPGP key data to build the Gentoo Web of Trust. Please bring printed information of the fingerprint and various UIDs you want certified along with a valid governmental ID matching the UID. You can use a service like [1] to generate such a key slip.
