CFP FOSDEM 2024 LLVM dev room
by Kristof Beyls 02 Dec '23

02 Dec '23

At [FOSDEM 2024](https://fosdem.org/2024), LLVM will again participate with a dedicated devroom, on Sunday afternoon February 4th, in Brussels. As possibly the largest European Open Source Conference, FOSDEM attracts more than 600 lectures and over 8000 hackers - many core contributors of the world’s leading open source projects. Complementing the LLVM developer meetings, the devroom at FOSDEM provides a great opportunity for LLVM developers and the wider open source community to get together, connect and discuss. For the first time, there is also a gcc devroom, which is happening on the same day, right before the LLVM dev room. We invite academic, industrial and hobbyist speakers to present their work on developing or using LLVM, Clang, LLDB, Compiler-rt, MLIR, Flang, or any of the other technologies in the LLVM project. We are looking for: * Keynote speakers. * Technical presentations (default length of 30 minutes including questions) related to the development of LLVM technologies or use of those technologies in other projects. * Tutorials. * Lightning talks (default length of 5 minutes). * Demos. ### Submission Please submit your proposal through the [FOSDEM pretalx interface]( https://pretalx.fosdem.org/fosdem-2024/cfp) clicking the "Submit a proposal" button. Please make sure you select "LLVM" as the "Track”. By default we will assume you submit a proposal for a full talk, aiming for 20 minutes of presenting and 10 minutes of questions. If you propose a different kind of talk and would prefer a different length, please do clearly state so in the "Submission Notes" field. We optimize the length of individual presentations taking into account all submissions and preferred length to achieve the best possible overall program. Presentations will be recorded and streamed. Sending your proposal implies giving permission to be recorded. This year, FOSDEM only accepts in-person presentations, with a live stream and live chat for remote participants. The deadline for receiving proposals is December 1st, 2023. Speakers will be notified of acceptance or rejection by December 15th. Please find some advice on what constitutes a good proposal at the end of this CFP. ### Registration FOSDEM does not require any registration and is free of charge. All participants need to follow the [FOSDEM Code of Conduct]( https://fosdem.org/2024/practical/conduct/) ### Important Dates * December 1st 2023: Deadline for submission of proposals * December 15th 2023: Announcement of acceptance + final schedule * February 4th 2024: Devroom day, in-person in Brussels. We expect the dev room to run from 1pm until 5pm. ### Organization Please use [this LLVM Discourse thread]( https://discourse.llvm.org/t/cfp-fosdem-2024-llvm-dev-room/74823) to discuss any issues or questions related to submitting a proposal or the organisation of the event. ### Guidance on writing a proposal for the LLVM Dev Room This is a guide to help you submit a good proposal and increase your chances of your proposal being accepted. If you have never presented at an LLVM meeting, then do not fear this process. We are actively looking for new speakers who are excited about LLVM and helping grow the community through these educational talks! You do not need to be a long time developer to submit a proposal. The programs of the FOSDEM LLVM dev room from past years can give you an impression of what an abstract can look like: [2023]( https://archive.fosdem.org/2023/schedule/track/llvm/) [2022]( https://archive.fosdem.org/2022/schedule/track/llvm/) [2020]( https://archive.fosdem.org/2020/schedule/track/llvm/) [2019]( https://archive.fosdem.org/2019/schedule/track/llvm/) [2018]( https://archive.fosdem.org/2018/schedule/track/llvm_toolchain/) [2017]( https://archive.fosdem.org/2017/schedule/track/llvm_toolchain/) [2016]( https://archive.fosdem.org/2016/schedule/track/llvm_toolchain/) [2015]( https://archive.fosdem.org/2015/schedule/track/llvm_toolchain/) [2014]( https://archive.fosdem.org/2014/schedule/track/llvm/) #### General Guidelines: * It should be clear from your abstract what your topic is, who your target audience is, and what are the takeaways for attendees. The program committee does not have time to read 10 page papers for each submission. * Talks about the use of an LLVM technology should include details about how LLVM is used and not only be about the resulting application. * Tutorials on “how to use X” in LLVM (or other subproject) are greatly desired and beneficial to many developers. Entry level topics are encouraged as well. * Typically a few paragraphs is sufficient. Best regards, the LLVM @ FOSDEM organisers

by Hans-Joerg Happel 01 Dec '23

01 Dec '23

Hi, also by some popular demand, we are excited to extend the deadline for submission to the 4th of December (23:59 CET)! Best, Hans-Joerg ---- Forwarded Message ---- Hi all! (For the latest info:https://github.com/modern-email/FOSDEM-24) Email is the workhorse of digital communication. It's one of the oldest decentralized messaging platforms, and we must keep implementations up to date with new standards/techniques/programming languages. The "**Modern Email**" developer room is new at FOSDEM and seeks speakers, volunteers, and participants! We want to get together as email developers/users, learn about each other's projects, have technical discussions, exchange implementation/operational experience, and share plans and visions for the future of email. The Devroom will be **held on Sunday, February 4** in the afternoon, with primarily talks on the schedule. The **submission deadline for talks is December 1st, 2023**. We will also informally meet with email developers on Saturday (that could be you; join us!) * **Speaker**: As a speaker, you're invited to present your work in the developer room. * **Volunteer**: As a volunteer, you would be helping us out during the sessions. * **Participant**: As a participant, whether introverted or extroverted, you are excellent to everyone and make the day! **Please distribute this CfP as widely as possible to interested parties!** ## Topics Some suggestions for talks: * Overview of the current state of email (as a keynote). * Your free/open source software project(s) related to email. From demo to details. * Current developments, upcoming standards, e.g. [JMAP](https://jmap.io), structured data, ... * Efforts to modernize our email ecosystem, e.g., through implementations in modern languages. * Integrating email with other software, e.g., through APIs. * Message/transport security/authenticity. * Experiences with deliverability, email operations, anti-spam, hosting, ... * Related technologies such as calendaring/PIM. * Visionary talks * Where should email be in 10 years? * Can we add end-to-end encryption (to the masses) through, e.g., MLS? * Can we provide simple solutions for on-prem (private) hosting? * ... ## Submission We ask for a short talk abstract (+ proposed duration) and a speaker biography (+ contact info). Any material that shows your affinity to the field is also appreciated, e.g., a collection of links to your work, talks, projects, blog posts, etc. Submissions **must** be made through Pretalx (https://pretalx.fosdem.org/fosdem-2024/cfp) no later than December 1st. The suggested duration for a talk is **25 minutes** (20 minutes presentation + 5 minutes Q&A). However, we*explicitly* invite you to propose the best duration for your talk. If the best way to present your project is a **5-minute lightning talk**, we'll happily arrange a lightning session! Depending on the proposals, we may contact you to adapt the time of the session to fit the devroom schedule. **Important**: Choose "**Modern Email**" in the track drop-down menu when submitting your proposal. Otherwise, your proposal might go unnoticed! Once the devroom schedule is finalized, we will contact you to help you prepare your talk. ## Recordings Talks and Q&A sessions at FOSDEM will be recorded. The recordings will be published under the same license as all FOSDEM content (CC-BY). By agreeing to present at FOSDEM, you automatically give permission to be recorded. The organizers will agree to make exceptions only for exceptional and well-reasoned cases. ## Important dates * December 4st, 2023: Deadline for submission of proposals * December 15th, 2023: Announcement of final schedule * February 3rd, 2024: FOSDEM Day 1 * February 4th, 2024: FOSDEM Day 2 - "Modern Email" DevRoom day! ## Contact For the latest details, see:https://github.com/modern-email/FOSDEM-24 Join the matrix room:https://matrix.to/#/#modern-email-fosdem-24-cfp:matrix.org Contact the organizers: * Benoit Tellier,btellier(a)linagora.com * Damian Poddebniak,poddebniak(a)mailbox.org * Hans-Jörg Happel,happel(a)audriga.com * Mechiel Lukkien,mechiel(a)ueber.net We are looking forward to a great day at FOSDEM with you! _______________________________________________ devroom-managers mailing list devroom-managers(a)lists.fosdem.org https://lists.fosdem.org/listinfo/devroom-managers
