I am pleased to announce that we will be running a Raku devroom at this year's FOSDEM. The event will be online as the most recent Raku conference. The Raku devroom is scheduled for Saturday February 5, 2021. It is time to submit your talks and lightning talks. Proposed talk durations: 15, 20, 30, and 45 minutes. Lightning talks are 5 minutes long. Please visit this page to submit your talk: https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM22. If you are unsure of how to do that (submitting, not visiting), email at mail@raku.online for some help or try asking at the #raku IRC channel at https://raku.org/community/irc. Submission deadline: December 20, 2021. Acceptance announcement: December 31, 2021. We will later ask you to make a recording of your talk and upload the file. But meanwhile, you don't need to have it. If you have a great idea to share, just do it by submitting the talk. Here are some of the possible topics for the talks: - Creating a custom language using Raku grammars - Migrating to Raku from other programming languages - Starting a project from scratch in the Raku programming language - Basic/Deep understanding of Raku design and implementation - Implementation improvements, low-hanging fruits and deeper options - Why Raku and not X? This list is not any close to completion, and there are more ways to use Raku and share the knowledge! By speaking at FOSDEM, you are not just giving a talk for the Raku community, but you are exposing the language to thousands of developers worldwide.
