Full schedule here.
But apart from the lineup on Sunday, also Saterday actually has a number of interesting geo-related talks as well:

10:35 - 10:55 (distributions devroom)

• From Debian-GIS to OSGeo live and back (yep shameless self-promotion)

 12:00 - 12:50 (hardware track)

• A GPS watch made of free software and hardware

14:00 - 14:25 (graph devroom)

• From Open Street Map to your preferred graph database...

15:00 - 15:50 (hardware track)

• FreeCAD
  a hackable design platform 

And I'm sure you will probably find many other interesting presentations in one of the other 550 lectures. So hope to see many of you at FOSDEM!

Update
I noted there is another geo-related talk on Sunday, unfortunately in parallel with the program for the geospatial devroom:

• Web mapping with MySQL
   An introduction to MySQL GIS
