20 years after the first X.org DevRoom at FOSDEM 2006, there will be the 16th Graphics DevRoom at FOSDEM on Sunday the 1st of February 2026. The talk topics of the graphics devroom encompass: * graphics drivers: display, 2d engines, 3d engines, at bootloader, kernel and userspace levels. * media/video drivers: camera/capture engines, hardware media encoders and decoders on all levels. * input drivers for bootloaders, kernels and userspace. * windowing systems (X, wayland, surfaceflinger, others) and window managers. * graphics toolkits (QT, GTK, others). * 3D and Compute APIs (OpenGL, Vulkan, DirectX, others), and 3d and game engines. * Virtual reality hardware and toolkits. * Artificial Intelligence HW acceleration. * Media encode and decode applications. And the tools needed to help configure and run the above. Submission deadline is the 7th of december, but do not count on this date, once the schedule has filled with enough solid talks, we will accept no more. Also, the best slots (afternoon) will be handed out on a first-come-first-serve basis. You can submit your talk here: https://fosdem.org/submit Since this an open source community event, please refrain from turning in a talk that is a pure corporate or product commercial. Also, this is a highly technical devroom on a conference aimed at developers and advanced users, so please only submit talks on a subject you actually worked on. If you are unsure on whether you can come or not, perhaps you are unsure about corporate sponsorship of your travels (this is FOSDEM, why are you not there anyway?), wait with submitting your talk until you are certain that you can be present. Please put some time and effort in your talk proposal, especially in the title and at least abstract, and your own background. While there is no more printed schedule, your description is what will get people to watch your talk, and will remain online forever next to the recording of your talk. We have a full day at our disposal, which runs from from 9:00 til 17:00, so we can fit anywhere between 8 and 16 talks. With 5 minutes for setup time, and 5 minutes of Q&A, full hour talks are actually 50 minutes, and half hour talks are 20 minutes. Depending on the amount of proposals, we might need to switch to 20 minute talks for everyone. All talks will be recorded and made available as CC-By-Sa or CC-By. The FOSDEM CoC will have to be agreed as well (https://fosdem.org/2026/practical/conduct/). Submission tips: When submitting at https://fosdem.org/submit, you can ignore the "You can enter proposals until 2025-11-16 22:00 (Europe/Brussels), 2 weeks from now." statement, as that is for Main track talks only, and not relevant for DevRooms. Please put some time and effort in your talk proposal, especially in the title and at least abstract, and your own background. While there is no more printed schedule, your description is what will get people to watch your talk, and will remain online forever next to the recording of your talk. On the first page, for track, select "Graphics". Please write your preferred slot length (20 or 50) in the submission notes. On page 2 you also need to provide a code license, this is a free-form field, so write what is appropriate. If there are any issues, just email graphics-devroom-manager@fosdem.org, where you can reach the team of graphics devroom managers, Arek Hiler, Timur Kristóf and myself, who will also schedule and review your talk submissions. We will be keeping a keen eye on submissions and scheduling, and hope to see you all at FOSDEM. Thanks! Luc Verhaegen.
