My group has received confirmation that we have a slot. (I do not know the details, another person in the group is handling that)
I think it is ...ehr... strange, that there is no sign of progress on the http://www.makerfairerome.eu/en/ pages. Links still talk about the "Call for makers", the program drop down is as empty as it was on the first day, and the only sign is the blog on the frontpage which is a nice blog good subjects and links ... but not about the makerfaire. (apart from two entries that call for makers has closed - they've dropped to page 2/3...)
