David, thank you very much.

First we wait and see if they accept the Haskell devroom proposal
(announcement on or around 31 October).  If so, then HF may be able
to assist in such ways as:

- Sending someone from HF to give an intro/update about HF and work
  being undertaken or sponsored by HF.

- Provide swag (e.g. stickers) - or assist to arrange some.

- Other good ideas I didn't think of yet.

FOSDEM also has a "stands" area and the stands CFP is still open for
submissions (until 15 November).  Perhaps Haskell Foundation could
consider submitting a stand proposal?  More info[1].
