by Mahmoud Abdelghany 29 Nov '21

29 Nov '21

for updates check: https://blackbeard334.github.io/fosdem22-emulator-devroom-cfp/ # FOSDEM 22 - Emulator Development Room CFP Hear Ye, Hear Ye! The Call for papers for the FOSDEM emulator development room is hereby open! Due to obvious reasons, the upcoming FOSDEM 22 will take place **online**. A lot of people (us included) prefer IRL, but safety first, and let's make the best of it! ### What is FOSDEM? ~~Stolen~~/Borrowed from the website: _**FOSDEM is a free event for software developers to meet, share ideas and collaborate.** Every year, thousands of developers of free and open source software from all over the world gather at the event in Brussels. ... FOSDEM 2022 will take place on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 February 2022. It will be an online event._ #### Important stuff: - FOSDEM is free to attend. There is no registration. - [FOSDEM website](https://fosdem.org/) - [FOSDEM code of conduct](https://fosdem.org/2022/practical/conduct/) - [Emulator devroom schedule](https://fosdem.org/2022/schedule/track/emulator_development/) ### Desirable topics Really **anything** goes, but here are some ideas (for inspiration): - Console emulator development - Computer emulator development - Hardware on hardware emulation - OS emulation development - Virtual Machine development - Emulation legality - Emulation history - ... #### Topic overlap Some topics might be suitable or overlap with other rooms (such as our good friends from the [Retro room](https://fosdem.org/2022/schedule/track/retrocomputing/) or [Virtualization room](https://fosdem.org/2022/schedule/track/virtualization_and_iaas/)) In such cases we might contact the speaker and point that out, but ultimately it is up to the speaker where the talk should land. #### Desirable speakers We honestly don't care. Experienced speakers are very welcome, but hobbyists and/or first time speakers are also more than welcome. As long as you have passion and/or knowledge you care to share. ### How to submit your proposal To submit a talk, please visit the [FOSDEM 2022 Pentabarf website](https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM22) (the mystery of whether pentabarf means barfing in 5 directions or in 5 colors has not been solved yet). Create an **event** and click on **Show all** in the top right corner to display the full form. ### What should be in your submission - name - short bio - contact info - title (funny titles are ~~required~~/appreciated) - abstract (what you're gonna talk about) - duration ### Important Dates - **December 28th: submission deadline** - FAQ - is the submission deadline final? - Technically speaking, you can submit talks till pentabarf closes, which should be somewhere in January - However, talks submitted before the 29th get a higher precedence - ASAP: announcement selected talks - January: speakers are contacted to upload pre-record sessions - February 6th: FOSDEM! (with live Q&A during recorded talks) ### Contact us - [Mahmoud Abdelghany](https://twitter.com/blackbeard0x14e) - [Christophe Creeten](mailto:christophecreeten@hotmail.com) - [Niels Renard](https://twitter.com/nielsrenard)

FOSDEM 2022
by Richard Hartmann 14 Oct '21

14 Oct '21

Dear all, as some of you have noticed, we have not put out an official announcements regarding FOSDEM 2022 until now. To expand a bit on agk's response[1]: We do know that the weekend ULB would be able to let us onto their premises is 2022-02-05 & 2022-02-06. As such, FOSDEM will happen at that date. As per usual, we started planning for real in August. We have consensus that there will be an online component to FOSDEM. We do not yet have consensus on what, if any, form an in-person component could look like. These discussions are ongoing, and not easy. We are painfully aware that this is shifting and compressing not only our, but everyone's schedule and planning. I had volunteered to communicate all the above a month ago and failed to do so. I am sorry for that. To be completely honest, all this uncertainty and the responsibility are weighing on all of us, myself included. What we do know is that barring some new variants, we will have an awesome FOSDEM 2023 - and we will do our best to make FOSDEM 2022 the least bad one possible. Best, Richard [1] https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2021q4/003276.html

A new home for our IRC presence
by Gerry Demaret 27 May '21

27 May '21

The FOSDEM IRC channels have been moved to the Libera.Chat [1] network. Please join us on the #fosdem channel [2] there. All other #fosdem-* channels and the Matrix bridge will be available soon. As some of our previous channels on the FreeNode network have been taken over by the new staff, these channels are no longer affiliated with FOSDEM. The FOSDEM organisation is saddened by this act of hostility towards the community. We urge our users to leave these channels as soon as possible and move to the new ones on Libera.Chat. We would like to remind you that any channel using the FOSDEM name or anyone posing as FOSDEM staff on other IRC networks is not affiliated with the FOSDEM organisation.

According to FOSDEM instructions (https://fosdem.org/2021/certification/) one must register for an exam at (https://lpievent.lpice.eu/) Unfortunately, this seems to not be working. I have tried it in Firefox, MS Edge, and Brave, on both Windows and Linux. Perhaps the missing LPI-Event option is part of the problem? Is this a known issue? -- - EJR
