However, at FOSDEM, schedule is quite packed, so I believe the best chance would be to actually use one of the available 1 hour slot in the cross-distro room, as I doubt people would be able to have a discussion slot spontaneously otherwise. FWIW, we might even organize a proper cross-distro Sprint. In that case, Debian will be happy to contribute some money to enable people to attend [1]. Of course, it would be nice if participants from other distros will ask their own distro some sort of sponsoring to attend :) All it takes, is a volunteer organizer (hint, hint!). Cheers.
