The full Devroom situation was not news to us, in fact we already foresaw this happening long before we decided to introduce devrooms. > [@Proposal: Community-run Devrooms at IndiaFOSS](http://forum.fossunited.org/t/proposal-community-run-devrooms-at-indiafoss/4964/14): > > The “small-devroom” problem cannot be avoided.

Devrooms are meant for a niche topic which fewer people will be interested in by nature of the topic. If you feel your presentation is broad enough for a larger audience, consider applying for the main track (which has a very different criteria of selection - for eg. we select very few talks that are about newer projects). Note that devrooms also had the option to recommend certain talks to the main track, and a few devrooms did move some of their talks because they felt they can appeal to a larger audience. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.fossunited.org/t/indiafoss-2025-feedback/6530)._
