Call for participation: Robotics and Simulation Room at FOSDEM 2025
by Lucas Chiesa 29 Oct '24

29 Oct '24

We're excited to announce the first Robotics and Simulation devroom at FOSDEM 2025, scheduled for Sunday, February 2nd! Summary ------------- A Robotics and Simulation dev room at FOSDEM, focused on core robotics libraries, frameworks, simulation tools, and open-source platforms. The selected talks will cover key tools like ROS and Gazebo, showcasing advancements and projects in the field. The half-day event will feature four presentations and a lightning talk session, offering a platform for developers to share work and foster collaboration. Scope of Talks -------------------- Because of the varied and interdisciplinary nature of robotics as a field, plenty of topics could fit a ‘Robotics and Simulation’ devroom. To help the speakers target their presentations to a specific audience, and to minimize the overlap with other established FOSDEM devrooms, we defined the scope of this devroom by listing key areas of interest: * Core robotics libraries and applications. Mapping, planning, localization, perception, and control solutions would fit this category. For example, Cartographer, OMPL, grid_map, Octomap, PCL, OpEn, OpenRMF * Frameworks used when building robotics applications, being robotic specific tools, or generic tools used for robotics applications. Examples include ROS, Dora-RS, OpenRR, YARP, Zenoh, and Eclipse iceoryx * Specific robotic simulation software like Gazebo, Coppelia, or simulations using non robotic specific tools, like Bevy, Godot. * Robotic-specific devops and related tooling, like webviz, MCAP * Robotics platforms friendly for open source development, like Andino, Crazyflie, Turtlebot. * Robotic products implemented using open source software. This can include examples of AI methods used to teach robots to perform certain tasks, or controlling robots using LLMs. For example, dora-rs, ros2ai, robo-gym The examples mentioned are meant to be descriptive and not restricted. Talks could be improvements to any of the mentioned packages, interesting uses of them, alternatives with different degrees of maturity, or totally unrelated to them. Submission instructions -------------------------------- https://pretalx.fosdem.org/fosdem-2025/cfp Dates: * Deadline: 1st December 2024 * Accepted talks notification: 6th December 2024 Formats: * 20 mins + 5 mins for Q&A * 5 min lightning talks Please choose “Robotics and Simulation” as the “Track” when submitting your talk and add a note to specify 20 min or 5 min lightning talk.

Declarative and Minimalistic Computing devroom CfP
by Manolis Ragkousis 28 Oct '24

28 Oct '24

We are excited to announce the Call for Participation for the Declarative and Minimalistic Computing devroom at FOSDEM on February, 2025! The submission deadline for talk proposals is 1st of December, 2024. FOSDEM is one of the most important free software conferences and is hosted annually at Université libre de Bruxelles in Brussels, Belgium. This year FOSDEM will be a physical conference. Talks will be done in person. We accept talks from languages that attempt to minimize use of hardware and software while trying to make systems simpler, more robust and more secure. If you are working on improving today's systems taking declarative/minimalistic approaches feel free to submit a talk proposal. Examples include the Scheme/Lisp family of programmings languages. In past editions, this devroom has received presentations from a varied number of language communities, including Forth, Guile, Lua, Nim, Racket, Raku and Tcl as well as several experimental projects that push minimalism in new directions. Minimalism and declarative programming are two important topics for this devroom. Minimalism matters. Minimalism allows for smaller systems that take less resources and consume less energy. More importantly, free and open source minimalism allows for secure systems that are easy to understand. Declarative programming is a programming paradigm that expresses the logic of a computation without describing its control flow. Many languages that apply this style attempt to minimize or eliminate side effects by describing what the program must accomplish in terms of the problem domain, rather than describe how to accomplish it as a sequence of the programming language primitives. Finally, in this year's conference we encourage speakers to honor individuals in computing from a diversity perspective. Individuals who have inspired them and whose work is relevant to their presentations. We want to invite you to submit a talk on declarative and minimalistic computing that fits that description. We are especially happy to receive talk submissions from members of groups underrepresented in free software. If you have something you’d like to share with your fellow developers, please E-mail us! Reach out to pjotr.public456(a)thebird.nl or manolis837(a)gmail.com if you run into any trouble. The deadline for submission is December 1st. Proposals must be submitted on FOSDEM's conference management system: <https://pretalx.fosdem.org/>. All submissions must go through pretalx: <https://fosdem.org/submit> When submitting your talk make doubly sure to select "Declarative and Minimalistic Computing devroom" as track (if you don't we won't find it), and include the following information: * The title and subtitle of your talk * A short abstract of one paragraph * A longer description if you wish to do so * Links to related websites/blogs etc To see what a final talk looks like see https://archive.fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/gnumes/ Let's make this a fun day! = Organizers = - Pjotr Prins (pjotr.public456(a)thebird.nl) - Manolis Ragkousis (manolis837(a)gmail.com) - Bonface Munyoki (me(a)bonfacemunyoki.com) - Jonathan McHugh (indieterminacy(a)libre.brussels) - Arun Isaac (arunisaac(a)systemreboot.net) - Amirouche Boubekki (amirouche.boubekki(a)gmail.com) - Hisham Muhammad (hisham(a)gobolinux.org) - Ludovic Courtès (ludo(a)gnu.org) - GNU Guile, GNU Guix - Jan Nieuwenhuizen (janneke(a)gnu.org) - GNU Mes project leader - William Byrd (webyrd(a)gmail.com) - Oliver Propst (oliver.propst(a)gmail.com) - Julien Lepiller (julien(a)lepiller.eu) = Code of conduct = - https://fosdem.org/2025/practical/conduct/ = Original proposal = - https://libreplanet.org/wiki/FOSDEM2025-devroom-proposal = Important dates: = - Dec 1st 2024: submission deadline for talk proposals - Dec 15th 2024: announcement of the final schedule - Feb 2nd 2024: FOSDEM! https://libreplanet.org/wiki/FOSDEM2025-devroom-declarative-and-minimalisti…
