[Intel-gfx] XDC 2019: Registration & Call for Proposals now open!

[Mark Filion]

Hello!

Registration & Call for Proposals are now open for XDC 2019, which will
take place at the Concordia University Conference Centre in Montréal,
Canada on October 2-4, 2019.

Thanks to LWN.net, this year we have a brand new website using the
Indico platform, a fully open source event management tool!

    https://xdc2019.x.org
    
If you plan on attending, please make sure to register as early as
possible as space is limited! As usual, the conference is free of
charge and open to the general public.

Please note, as we are now based on Indico, we will no longer use the
wiki for registration. You will therefore need to register via the XDC
website. However, as XDC is sharing the same Indico infrastructure as
LPC, if you previously registered on the LPC website
(linuxplumbersconference.org), then you already have an active account
and can use the same username & password to login!

In addition to registration, the CfP is now open for talks, workshops
and demos at XDC 2019. While any serious proposal will be gratefully
considered, topics of interest to X.Org and freedesktop.org developers
are encouraged. The program focus is on new development, ongoing
challenges and anything else that will spark discussions among
attendees in the hallway track.

We are open to talks across all layers of the graphics stack, from the
kernel to desktop environments / graphical applications and about how
to make things better for the developers who build them. Head to the
CfP page to learn more:

The deadline for submissions Sunday, 7 July 2019.

We are looking forward to seeing you (and sharing a poutine!) in
beautiful Montréal! If you have any questions, please send me an email
to mark.filion at collabora.com, adding on CC the X.org board (board at
foundation.x.org).

And don't forget, you can follow us on Twitter for all the latest
updates and to stay connected:
