We are pleased to announce the CFP for the FOSDEM 2023 Binary Tools Devroom. Dates ===== 25th November CFP deadline 15th December Announcement of selected activities 4 & 5th February Conference dates About the devroom ================= The Binary Tools Devroom at FOSDEM 2023 is an informal, technical, online event oriented to authors, users and enthusiasts of FLOSS programs that deal with binary data. This includes binary editors, libraries to encode and decode data, parser generators, binary data description languages and frameworks, binary formats and encodings, assemblers, debuggers, reverse engineering suites, and the like. The goal of the devroom is for developers to get in touch with each other and with users of their tools, have interesting and hopefully productive discussions, and finally what is most important: to have fun. Suggested Topics ================ Here is a non-exhaustive list of binary tools about which we would like to have activities: - GNU poke - fq - radare2 - kaitai struct - binwalk - wireshark Both using (like a nice hack) and developing the tools are on-topic. Activities on increasing collaboration between the tools are particularly encouraged. Proposals ========= Proposals should be made through the [FOSDEM Pentabarf submission tool].
