There are still 3 slots open. This is your final chance to get a talk in the FOSDEM 2014 graphics DevRoom. Monday night (13th), the schedule will be locked down and no further talks or events will be accepted.

FOSDEM14: Graphics DevRoom: Deadline approaching fast.
Hi, There are still 5 slots open for the FOSDEM graphics DevRoom, and the deadline is this friday, the 10th. Get a move on. If you have requested an account reset with me before, but if you then haven't bothered filing a talk, you do NOT have a slot. Please file a talk ASAP to still secure a place. For more information on how to file for a devroom, read the email sent back in october: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2013-October/038185.html Luc Verhaegen. -- Mir-devel mailing list Mir-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/mir-devel
FOSDEM15: Graphics DevRoom: call for speakers.
Hi, At FOSDEM on the 31st of january and the 1st of February 2015, there will be another graphics DevRoom. URL: https://fosdem.org/2015/ The focus of this DevRoom is of course the same as last year, namely: * Graphics drivers: from display to media to 3d drivers, both in kernel or userspace. Be it part of DRM, KMS, (direct)FB, V4L, Xorg, Mesa... * Input drivers: kernel and userspace. * Windowing systems: X, Wayland, Mir, directFB, ... * Even colour management and other areas which i might have overlooked above are accepted. Slots are 50 minutes long, and scheduled hourly. This partly to avoid confusion and people running all over the place all the time. As a speaker, you do not have to fill your whole hour, gaps are never wasted time. Slots will be handed out on a first come, first serve basis. The best slots will go to those who apply the earliest. The amount of slots is currently not known yet, but i expect there to be around 16 available (8 on each day), so act quickly. Talk Submission: Like last year, the pentabarf system will be used for talk submission. It is not perfect from a devroom organizer and talk submitters usability point-of-view, but the fosdem organizers are working on it. It is however workable and it ended up working out pretty well last year. https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM15 Remember that FOSDEM is not like XDC, it's not some 50 odd people meeting with a sliding schedule which only gets filled out on the last day. Upwards of 8000 people are visiting this event, and most of them get a printed booklet or use the schedule on the FOSDEM website or an app for their phone to figure out what to watch or participate in next. So please put some effort in your talk submission and details. Since this an open source community event, please refrain from turning in a talk that is a pure corporate or product commercial. Also, if you are unsure on whether you can come or not (this is FOSDEM, why are you not there anyway?), please wait with submitting your talk. Submitting a talk and then not turning up because you could not be bothered is a sure-fire way to get larted and then to never be allowed to talk again. As for deadlines, i hope to have a pretty much complete schedule between christmas and the new year. The rockhard printed schedule deadline is probably January 9th, after that you will not be featured in the booklet and you will have a lot less visitors. I will hopefully be able to lock down entries and descriptions after that date. Don't count on this deadline: first come first serve! There are perhaps only 16 slots. And the worst slots will be assigned to those who come last. Do you really want to talk on saturday at 10:00 when people are still in zombie mode after the beer event, if they are there at all? Use your account from last year, so you can try to recycle some of your data from last year.

Remember: first come, first serve. The best slots are for the earliest submissions and there are only around 16 slots. On your personal page: * General: * First and last name * Nickname * Image * Contact: * email * mobile number (this is a very hard requirement as there will be no other reliable form of emergency communication on the day) * Description: * Abstract * Description Create an event: * On the General page: * Event title * Event subtitle. * Track: Graphics Devroom * Event type: Lecture (talk) or Meeting (BoF) * Persons: * Add yourself as speaker. * Description: * Abstract: * Full Description * Links: * Add relevant links.

It's been more than 2 months since the original email, it's less than two months away from the event, and one month away from what usually is the deadline for the booklet. File your talk now, while there are still some useful slots available. Also, for those who have filed already but who have left their abstracts open, please get those filed in ASAP. Your talk will be only be ordered in when at least the basics are provided.

FOSDEM16: Graphics DevRoom: call for speakers.
Hi, At FOSDEM on sunday 31st of january 2016, there will be another graphics DevRoom. URL: https://fosdem.org/2016/ At first, I wanted to skip another year (like in 2011), as speaker turn-out was disgracefully low last year. But when i heard from some usual speaker suspects earlier this month (the first time anyone asked me about a FOSDEM16 devroom btw), followed by the fact that the devroom request deadline was sheduled a month later than the last few years, i did end up filing, but this time for a single day only. Claiming two days would simply not have been fair towards all the other projects that usually get rejected (FOSDEM typically rejects half the requests, leading to only about 25 devrooms in parallel). Anyway... The focus of this DevRoom is of course the same as the last few years, namely: * Graphics drivers: from display to media to 3d drivers, both in kernel or userspace. Be it part of DRM, KMS, (direct)FB, V4L, Xorg, Mesa... * Input drivers: kernel and userspace. * Windowing systems: X, Wayland, Mir, directFB, ... * Even colour management, low level toolkit stuff, and other areas which i might have overlooked above are accepted. Slots are 50 minutes long, and scheduled hourly. This partly to avoid confusion and people running all over the place all the time. As a speaker, you do not have to fill your whole hour, gaps are never wasted time. Slots will be handed out on a first come, first serve basis. The best slots will go to those who apply the earliest. The amount of slots is currently not known yet, but there are only 8 slots available, so act quickly. Talk Submission: Like the last few years, the pentabarf system will be used for talk submission. It is not perfect from a devroom organizer and talk submitters usability point-of-view, but the new interface is not fully implemented yet, and the fosdem organizers have reverted to the old one for this year. It is however workable and it ended up working out pretty well these last few years. https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM16 Remember that FOSDEM is not like XDC, it's not some 50 odd people meeting with a sliding schedule which only gets filled out on the last day. Upwards of 8000 people are visiting this event, and most of them get a printed booklet or use the schedule on the FOSDEM website or an app for their phone to figure out what to watch or participate in next. So please put some effort in your talk submission and details. Since this an open source community event, please refrain from turning in a talk that is a pure corporate or product commercial. Also, if you are unsure on whether you can come or not (this is FOSDEM, why are you not there anyway?), please wait with submitting your talk. Submitting a talk and then not turning up because you could not be bothered is a sure-fire way to get larted and then to never be allowed to talk again. Also, all talks will be recorded, and will be made available as CC-BY after a bit of time. Since we have only a single day devroom, we probably will not end up being streamed live. As for deadlines, the fosdem organizers are doing their booklet differently again, and they need to have the schedule finished by the 18th of december. Given that there are only 8 slots, i trust that this will not be an issue this year. Don't count on this deadline: first come first serve! There are perhaps only 8 slots. And the worst slots will be assigned to those who come last. Do you really want to talk on sunday at 9:00 when people are still in zombie mode after 2 nights at the delirium bar, if they are here at all?
