Geospatial devroom - Call for Participation
by Johan Van de Wauw 16 Oct '17

16 Oct '17

Please forward! FOSDEM is a free and non-commercial event bringing together about 8000 developers in Brussels, Belgium. The goal is to provide open source software developers and communities a place to meet and share thoughts. The participation is free of charge, although donations are welcome. The next edition will take place on 3 - 4 February 2018. For the fourth time there will be a Geospatial devroom and will be happening on Sunday *4/2/2018*! Geospatial technologies and mapping used to be specialist work, but nowadays location and maps are becoming part of many projects/applications, which usually use only a small subset of the possibilities the data and software offer. The geospatial devroom is the place to talk about open, geo-related data and software and their ecosystem. This includes standards and tools, e.g. for spatial databases, and online mapping, geospatial services, used for collecting, storing, delivering, analysing, and visualizing purposes. We welcome submissions about: * Web and desktop GIS applications; * Collaborative editing / versioning of geodata and metadata; * Interoperable geospatial web services and specifications; * Collection of data using sensors / UAVs / satellites; * Geo-analytic algorithms / libraries; * Geospatial extensions for classical databases (indexes, operations) and dedicated databases; * Big geodata, distributed and scalable GIS applications; * Volunteered Geographic information - Crowdsourced geodata. HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR PROPOSAL FOR A TALK Are you thrilled to present your work to other open source developers? Would you like to run a discussion? Any other ideas? Please submit your proposal at: https://fosdem.org/submit Make sure to select the 'Geospatial devroom' as 'Track'. If you have an account from previous years, you should be using the same. Please specify in the notes if you prefer for your presentation either a short timeslot (lightning talks ~10 minutes) or a long timeslot (20 minutes presentation + discussion). However, note that time slots are indicative and will be assigned according to the timing of the session. The DEADLINE for submissions is Thursday **1st December 2017**. Notification of acceptance will be sent to the Authors by 11/12/2017 at the latest. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with the organisers of the devroom at fosdem-geospatial at gisky.be! Want to know what FOSDEM geospatial is like?

On behalf of oVirt and the Xen Project, we are excited to announce that the call for proposals is now open for the Virtualization & IaaS devroom at the upcoming FOSDEM 2018, to be hosted on February 3 and 4, 2017. This year will mark FOSDEM’s 18th anniversary as one of the longest-running free and open source software developer events, attracting thousands of developers and users from all over the world. FOSDEM will be held once again in Brussels, Belgium, on February 3 & 4, 2018. This devroom is a collaborative effort, and is organized by dedicated folks from projects such as OpenStack, Xen Project,, oVirt, QEMU, and Foreman. We would like to invite all those who are involved in these fields to submit your proposals by December 1st, 2017. About the Devroom The Virtualization & IaaS devroom will feature session topics such as open source hypervisors and virtual machine managers such as Xen Project, KVM, bhyve, and VirtualBox, and Infrastructure-as-a-Service projects such as Apache CloudStack, OpenStack, oVirt, QEMU, OpenNebula, and Ganeti. This devroom will host presentations that focus on topics of shared interest, such as KVM; libvirt; shared storage; virtualized networking; cloud security; clustering and high availability; interfacing with multiple hypervisors; hyperconverged deployments; and scaling across hundreds or thousands of servers. Presentations in this devroom will be aimed at developers working on these platforms who are looking to collaborate and improve shared infrastructure or solve common problems. We seek topics that encourage dialog between projects and continued work post-FOSDEM. Important Dates Submission deadline: 01 December 2017 Acceptance notifications: 14 December 2017 Final schedule announcement: 21 December 2017 Devroom: 03 and 04 February 2018 (two days- different rooms) Submit Your Proposal All submissions must be made via the Pentabarf event planning site[1]. If you have not used Pentabarf before, you will need to create an account. If you submitted proposals for FOSDEM in previous years, you can use your existing account. After creating the account, select Create Event to start the submission process. Make sure to select Virtualization and IaaS devroom from the Track list. Please fill out all the required fields, and provide a meaningful abstract and description of your proposed session. Submission Guidelines We expect more proposals than we can possibly accept, so it is vitally important that you submit your proposal on or before the deadline. Late submissions are unlikely to be considered. All presentation slots are 45 minutes, with 35 minutes planned for presentations, and 10 minutes for Q&A. All presentations will be recorded and made available under Creative Commons licenses. In the Submission notes field, please indicate that you agree that your presentation will be licensed under the CC-By-SA-4.0 or CC-By-4.0 license and that you agree to have your presentation recorded. For example: "If my presentation is accepted for FOSDEM, I hereby agree to license all recordings, slides, and other associated materials under the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 4.0 International License. Sincerely, <NAME>." In the Submission notes field, please also confirm that if your talk is accepted, you will be able to attend FOSDEM and deliver your presentation. We will not consider proposals from prospective speakers who are unsure whether they will be able to secure funds for travel and lodging to attend FOSDEM. (Sadly, we are not able to offer travel funding for prospective speakers.) Speaker Mentoring Program As a part of the rising efforts to grow our communities and encourage a diverse and inclusive conference ecosystem, we're happy to announce that we'll be offering mentoring for new speakers. Our mentors can help you with tasks such as reviewing your abstract, reviewing your presentation outline or slides, or practicing your talk with you. You may apply to the mentoring program as a newcomer speaker if you: Never presented before or Presented only lightning talks or Presented full-length talks at small meetups (<50 ppl) Submission Guidelines Mentored presentations will have 25-minute slots, where 20 minutes will include the presentation and 5 minutes will be reserved for questions. The number of newcomer session slots is limited, so we will probably not be able to accept all applications. You must submit your talk and abstract to apply for the mentoring program, our mentors are volunteering their time and will happily provide feedback but won't write your presentation for you! If you are experiencing problems with Pentabarf, the proposal submission interface, or have other questions, you can email our devroom mailing list[2] and we will try to help you. How to Apply In addition to agreeing to video recording and confirming that you can attend FOSDEM in case your session is accepted, please write "speaker mentoring program application" in the "Submission notes" field, and list any prior speaking experience or other relevant information for your application. Call for Mentors Interested in mentoring newcomer speakers? We'd love to have your help! Please email iaas-virt-devroom at lists.fosdem.org with a short speaker biography and any specific fields of expertise (for example, KVM, OpenStack, storage, etc.) so that we can match you with a newcomer speaker from a similar field. Estimated time investment can be as low as a 5-10 hours in total, usually distributed weekly or bi-weekly. Never mentored a newcomer speaker but interested to try? As the mentoring program coordinator, email Brian Proffitt[3] and he will be happy to answer your questions! Code of Conduct Following the release of the updated code of conduct for FOSDEM, we'd like to remind all speakers and attendees that all of the presentations and discussions in our devroom are held under the guidelines set in the CoC and we expect attendees, speakers, and volunteers to follow the CoC at all times. If you submit a proposal and it is accepted, you will be required to confirm that you accept the FOSDEM CoC. If you have any questions about the CoC or wish to have one of the devroom organizers review your presentation slides or any other content for CoC compliance, please email us and we will do our best to assist you. Call for Volunteers We are also looking for volunteers to help run the devroom. We need assistance watching time for the speakers, and helping with video for the devroom. Please contact me, Brian Proffitt, for more information. Questions? If you have any questions about this devroom, please send your questions to our devroom mailing list. You can also subscribe to the list to receive updates about important dates, session announcements, and to connect with other attendees. See you all at FOSDEM!

[CFP] Decentralized Internet & Privacy devroom
by Julien Rabier 15 Oct '17

15 Oct '17

Welcome to Decentralized Internet & Privacy at FOSDEM 2018 (Brussels, Belgium, February 4th). Open Source and Free Software initial promises were to empower individuals when it came to computing. Three decades later, computing practices are tightly coupled to the Internet ecosystem. PCs are less and less used while smartphones are soaring and data is collected and stored on servers on which we have very limited control as users. What happened to user's freedom and privacy in the meantime? The outlook is not so great: we have less and less control over our digital environment. Network neutrality is heavily attacked and mainstream software products are usually proprietary or run on servers we don't have control over. Modern technology has given the powerful new abilities to eavesdrop and collect data on people - with critical social and political consequences. FOSDEM is a free software event that offers free software communities a place to meet, share ideas and collaborate. It is renown for being highly developer- oriented and brings together 8000+ participants from all over the world. It is held in the city of Brussels (Belgium). In 2018, FOSDEM will take place during the weekend of February 3rd-4th 2018. More details about the event can be found at http://fosdem.org/. On Sunday, February 4th, the Decentralized Internet & Privacy devroom will be a place for development teams to present the state of their project and future directions, answer questions from the audience and followup in the hacking rooms nearby afterwards. Call For Participation ====================== There is a bright future ahead of us if we unite our efforts toward decentralized services and Surveillance Self-Defense (SSD as defined by EFF). This devroom welcomes all technical projects and initiatives, to share their progress and inspire others. Presentation topics could include: Technologies and initiatives focused on decentralization: - Community-driven networks - Community based around self-hosting or local hosting - Self-hosting solutions - Ethical hosting providers / alternatives to GAFAM (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft) - Decentralized / federated network protocols and platforms - Decentralized / distributed instant messaging, file sharing and content storage Technologies and initiatives focused on privacy: - Anonymous overlay networks - Whistleblower platforms - Privacy oriented Operating Systems - Infrastructure supporting anonymous browsing - Operational security: how to minimize the amount of information someone can collect about you online and on the streets - Basic threat modeling: what sort of paranoia do you realistically need to have? - Steps to minimize damage in the event of a breach Talks are expected to be technical as it is FOSDEM. ** Important dates - 26 Nov 2017: submission deadline for talk proposals - 15 Dec 2017: announcement of the final schedule - 4 Feb 2018: Decentralized Internet & Privacy (Sunday) Talk proposals will be reviewed by a steering committee: - heartsucker (SecureDrop // Freedom of the Press Foundation Volunteer) - Loïc Dachary (SecureDrop // Artisan Logiciel Libre) - Tristan Nitot (Cozy Cloud // Chief Product Officer) - Julien Rabier (Ilico) - Bram (YunoHost // Neutrinet) Use the FOSDEM 'pentabarf' tool to submit your proposal: https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM18 - If necessary, create a Pentabarf account and activate it.
