I've sent a mail to the FOSDEM organizers to request a hacking room for a couple of hours Sunday. I'll let you know as soon as I get a reply.
Just a quick follow-up. I've received information from the FOSDEM staff, there will be hacking rooms that can be reserved (on-site only) for 1h slots. They unfortunately won't have projectors, as they're not meant for talks.
Another option would be to start early on Saturday, the X.org room is reported as beeing free from 9am to 11am.

As the organizer of the X.org devroom, i would have to state that the latter is impossible. I tend to do a bit of room set-up, like put in some power bars (a limited amount this year, as i only have been given one day and it simply is not worth putting in the cabling for 100 sockets, and dragging all that kit over from Nuremberg, for just a single day) and some other things. I need one hour at least for that on saturday morning.
DevRooms are also not supposed to open before 11:00 (which is already a massive improvement over 2011 and the years before, where i was happy to be able to put the cabling in at 12:00), and i tend to first get a nod of approval from the on-site devrooms supervisor before i go in and set up the room.
So use the hackingroom this year. Things will hopefully be better next year.
