This email is a Call For Participation in the Embedded, Mobile and Automotive Devroom at FOSDEM 2025. Devroom date: February 1st 2025 in Brussels, Belgium CFP deadline: Sunday, December 1st 2024. Final speaker confirmation by Sunday, December 15th 2024. CFP Introduction --------------------------- Embedded software is transforming the world, and FOSS embedded software is leading the way. From automotive to the Internet of Things, launching rockets, messing with your phone or automating your toaster, small devices, embedded systems, and automatons are everywhere. Join in and tell the world about your project! This year we welcome talks that are either: * 10 min (short introduction of project/topic) * 25 min (normal slot) * 50 min (extraordinary slot for a topic that needs a deeper explanation) Topics Sought ------------------------ The embedded devroom seeks topics related to automotive, industrial, mobile, consumer electronics, autonomous and generally embedded systems, either from a professional or hobbyist background. Topics such as operating systems (Linux, Zephyr, NuttX, FreeRTOS), hardware platforms (from microcontrollers to microprocessors, FPGAs) and software stacks are welcome. Related areas are of course of interest as well and our definition of "embedded" is elastic. CFP Schedule And Submission Details ----------------------------------------------------------- Please submit proposals no later than the 1st of December. Please note that this year the submission deadline is mandated by the FOSDEM orgs and we may not be able to accommodate any latecomers. Please use the following URL to submit your talk to FOSDEM 2025: https://fosdem.org/submit and follow the following rules: * This year FOSDEM keeps using the new CFP system - pretalx.

Although this is a mandatory requirement, we still invite talks about: "Reverse engineering ...", "Hacking ...", "What's inside ..." even if the code does not exist yet. If any doubts arise don't hesitate to contact us. * Write a short bio section describing yourself. This will be visible on the schedule and is important for FOSDEM visitors to understand your background and what to expect from you.
