+History:
+
+ConfClerk started as fosdem-schedule, targetted at Maemo as an operating
+system and the FOSDEM conference.
+fosdem-schedule was written by Ixonos Plc., maintained at
+http://sourceforge.net/projects/fosdem-maemo/ , and released under the GNU GPL
+2 or later.
+Cf. docs/fosdem-schedule for more information.
+
+ConfClerk is the successor of fosdem-schedule, aiming at improvements and
+generalization regarding supported platforms and conference systems.
+The project was started after fosdem-schedule was not actively developped
+anymore and with the "blessing" of the fosdem-schedule developers; cf.
+http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=20110621171440.GA4521%40nerys.comodo.priv.at&forum_name=fosdem-maemo-devel
+Thanks guys!
