All,

We are excited to announce the call for participation for the Rust Devroom
for FOSDEM 2026. The Devroom will be held on Sunday, 1 February, 2026 in
Brussels, Belgium. The submission deadline for talk proposals is December
1, 2025.

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 Dates
============
Call for participation closes: 1 December 2025
Devroom schedule available: 15 December 2025
Devroom day: Sunday 1 February 2026

About the Devroom
===============
Rust is a systems programming language that runs blazingly fast, prevents
segfaults, and guarantees thread safety. It is rapidly growing in
production usage and applicable in many use cases. This, along with being a
purely community-driven language, makes it important to provide a venue for
people to come together to discuss Rust, how to best use it, and how to
further enhance the community.


Suggested Topics
==============
* Rust as a modern and evolving language
    * New features and language initiatives
    * Architecting large projects
* Rust usage across FLOSS projects (Linux, Tor, VLC, Gnome, Firefox, etc.)
* Rust usage in FOSS (Linux, Redox, Android, etc.)
* Projects written in Rust (show and tell)
* Tooling
    * Build tools (cargo, clippy, rustfmt, rust-analyzer, etc.)
     * Packaging libraries and executables written in Rust
     * Profiling, FFI, etc.
* Documentation and education initiatives
* Community initiatives
    * How to contribute
    * RFC process
    * Promoting inclusiveness for minority or under-represented groups

Proposals
========

We invite authors to submit original, high-quality work with sufficient
background material to be clear to the Rust community.

Please be aware of the fact that Devroom talks at FOSDEM will be recorded.
By submitting a proposal you agree to being recorded and to have your talk
made available.

Submissions must include:
* Abstract
* Session type
* Session length
* Expected prior knowledge / intended audience
* Speaker bio

Note that there has been a gorgeous new submission system for a few years
(pretalx) and if you had an account on the previous submission system you
may need to make a new account.
