What about organizing an event on the Friday evening before FOSDEM where
politicians and press are invited for a panel discussion?
I'm in favor of a public place where politicians and journalists like to
come and debate.
If the politicians are interested they can visit FOSDEM the next day.
Maybe FSFE can organize a guided tour?
I spoke with a few Dutch Members of Parliament about FOSS, and could
invite them for such event.

Kind regards,
Jan.
