by benny Vasquez 25 Oct '24

25 Oct '24

The Distributions DevRoom returns in-person to FOSDEM for a full day of distribution-related content in Brussels on Sunday, February 2nd, 2025. The Distros DevRoom organizers are happy to share that the call for proposals is now open, and will be accepting proposals until November 30th. Read on to learn more about this DevRoom, what topics we want to see, and how you can submit. Submit your talk to FOSDEM[1] (following the guidelines below), when you're ready! Important Dates - Now - Call for Participation opens - 1 December - Call for Participation ends - 1 - 5 December - Submissions reviewed - 6 December - Speakers notified - 12 December - Deadline for speakers to confirm - 15 December - developer rooms publish complete schedules - 2 February - Distros DevRoom at FOSDEM Call for Proposals The audience for the Distributions DevRoom is primarily contributors and developers of Linux distributions. We may accept a limited amount of content with a focus on end users, but the Distributions DevRoom organizers believe most user-focused content better fits in other DevRooms or events. We happily welcome submissions targeted toward contributors and distribution developers. In the CFP submission system, submitters should identify a theme in their submission that best identifies the scope of their topic. There are three themes in 2025: - OS Development - Community in Linux operating systems - Emerging topics around Linux development See suggested topics for each theme below: *Theme: OS Development* - Distribution construction, installation, deployment, packaging, and content management. - Balancing new code and active upstreams versus security updates and minimization of breaking changes. - Automation of releases and testing. - Delivering architecture-independent software. - Creating a secure supply chain by evaluating upstream components and providing a secure source for downstreams. - Distro-agnostic integration testing. *Theme: Community in Linux operating systems* - Best practices and guidance for contributing in Linux distributions and their upstream dependencies. - Growing, participating, and working with communities in the distribution ecosystem. - Cross-distribution collaboration on common issues. - Working with vendors and including them in the community. - Non-engineering topics inside of distribution communities (e.g. documentation, marketing, internationalization, design, community operations, etc.). *Theme: Emerging topics around Linux development*The future of distributions and emerging trends. This category is intentionally broad to best capture new ideas and thoughts that do not fit neatly into the above two themes. About the Distributions DevRoom Linux distributions are critical digital infrastructure in the 2020s. In addition to their relevance today, they are some of the oldest and most historic Free and Open Source Software communities still in existence. As the context of Linux distributions changes and evolves since their origin in 1991, they remain an important fixture in digital infrastructure. Linux distributions do important work in ensuring various versions of upstream software work well together and can co-exist. They are also often responsible for "de-vendoring" upstream software so that security fixes can be applied more quickly. Additionally, Linux distributions have become the centerpiece of other important infrastructure projects like containers and container orchestration software. This DevRoom provides a unique home for the convergence of several different Linux distribution communities to share ideas and start conversations that matter to all of us. Although there are several different distributions that have different approaches to software packaging, choice of desktop environments, and various use cases, the Distributions DevRoom is a historic open forum that is unique to FOSDEM in making a space for all of our communities to share and learn from each other. The Distributions DevRoom organizers can be reached at distributions-devroom(a)lists.fosdem.org[3]. Process Go to the FOSDEM 2025 CFP website[1].

Re: [distro-devroom] devroom area for Ubuntu and openSUSE
by Justin W. Flory (he/him) 23 Nov '23

23 Nov '23

Hi Douglas! With Richard's permission, I am moving this thread to the distributions-devroom@ mailing list so all our devroom stakeholders can be on the same page. For any unaware readers, Ubuntu and openSUSE did not receive a booth at FOSDEM this year, and I offered to make space in our devroom for Ubuntu and openSUSE to "set up shop" with the usual swag and goodies they would bring to FOSDEM. I figure this might also be a draw for getting more people to the Devroom. 🙂 I suspect most of this will be figured out on-site, once we know the day of the devroom, what room we are in, and what extra space we have available (e.g. any free tables). In 2023, we had a large table in the front of the room that we opened up for any swag people wanted to share with attendees. I suspect we could likely find a table to drag over to the side of the room for people to lay out their swag. As for beer, I am not sure if there are special rules or not for the classrooms that the FOSDEM organizers usually put us in, but I will forward this to the devroom-organizers@ mailing list and see if beer in the Devroom is on the table or not (see what I did there?). Looking forward to having our Ubuntu and openSUSE comrades-in-Linux together in February!
