# FOSDEM 2023: Nix and NixOS devroom
So, we got [a devroom at FOSDEM 2023](https://fosdem.org/2023/news/2022-11-07-accepted-developer-rooms/)! đ This means you, the community, will have yet another chance to give talks about everything Nix! This will be, as far as we're aware, *the first* time Nix got its own devroom at FOSDEM, and this in the same year Nix will celebrate its 20th birthday. So, let's make it a good first edition. ï
FOSDEM is [in their words](https://fosdem.org/2023/),
> 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.
Thanks to Matthew Croughan, Ryan Lahfa, ThĂ©ophane Hufschmitt and Bryan Honof for submitting devroom proposals. We found out that more than one group submitted for a devroom during NixCon. đ
## Calls for Participation
We are looking for talks about Nix, use-cases of Nix or any related project.
Do keep in mind however that FOSDEM being a community event, we won't accept any vendor or sales pitch.
The talks can either be _lightning talks_ (5 mins) or _full-featured talks_ (20 mins).
## Practical Information
- The CfP is hosted by FOSDEM themselves. Head over to [Pentabarf, their CfP platform](https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM23), and follow the instructions on the landing page. Most fields are optional, just make sure that you:
- Set the âTrackâ to âNix and NixOSâ
- Set the âEvent typeâ to either âLightning talkâ or âPresentationâ
- Fill in the âEvent Titleâ and âShort Abstractâ
- Should Pentabarf fail you, feel free to send us a mail with the relevant information to nix-devroom-manager at fosdem.org.
- Presentation proposals should be submitted before 2022-12-07 23:59 CET. The list of accepted talks and the program will be announced on 2022-12-15.
- FOSDEM takes place in Brussels on the first weekend of February 2023 (2023-02-04 and 2023-02-05).
The Nix devroom is set for 2023-02-05 in the afternoon (the precise time slot is still TBD, but it should start around 13:00 and end at 17:00).
