Sounds good to me.

As far as I understand the policy of the Devroom decisions they favour
more general topics instead of single projects (although there are some).

If I look through the list of topics, there should be a little more focus on
hackable *mobile* devices (there are routers, embedded boards etc.).

Also note that there was an "Embedded" Devroom collecting a lot of
different topics every year (I think in 2007 Sean's presentation was part
of that). See: http://archive.fosdem.org/2010/list-devrooms-their-call-talks

"Embedded / Mobile (contact email)
The embedded/mobile room is the place to be for people with an interest in everything small, hidden, with different CPU's and/or a gadget or mobile device.
Here we discuss and present things like hacking your phone, PDA or router and everything about cross-compiling. The people that gather here are usually doing tons of cool stuff with small low-powered devices, from playing music to controlling big and complex systems."

So we must somehow differentiate from that or we simply get merged.

Definitively!
