Once again, the upcoming FOSDEM 24 will take place at the [Université libre de Bruxelles, Belgium](https://fosdem.org/2024/practical/transportation/). ### 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._ #### Important stuff: - FOSDEM is free to attend. There is no registration. - [FOSDEM website](https://fosdem.org/) - [FOSDEM code of conduct](https://fosdem.org/2024/practical/conduct/) - [Emulator devroom schedule](https://fosdem.org/2024/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 history - ... #### Topic overlap Some topics might be suitable or overlap with other rooms (such as the [Retro](https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/track/retrocomputing/) & [Virtualization](https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/track/virtualization-and-cloud-infrastructu...) rooms). 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 equally welcome. As long as you have passion and/or knowledge you care to share. ### How to submit your proposal Pentabarf is longer available, instead you can submit talks through [pretalx](https://pretalx.fosdem.org/fosdem-2024). ### 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 1st: submission deadline** - FAQ - is the submission deadline final? - Technically speaking, you can submit talks as long as pretalx will allow it - However, talks submitted before the 16th get a higher precedence - ASAP: announcement selected talks - February 3rd: FOSDEM! ### Volunteering _FOSDEM needs you! Every year, the FOSDEM team is assisted by an enthusiastic team of volunteers to help out with various tasks and make the event a fun and safe place for all our visitors._ There are some benefits to being a volunteer, but most importantly you help make FOSDEM possible :) Visit [https://volunteers.fosdem.org/](https://volunteers.fosdem.org/) to sign up. ### [Contact us](mailto:emulator-devroom-manager@fosdem.org) - [Mahmoud Abdelghany](https://twitter.com/blackbeard0x14e) - [Christophe Creeten](mailto:christophecreeten@hotmail.com)- [Niels Renard](https://twitter.com/nielsrenard) Sent with [Proton Mail](https://proton.me/) secure email.
