Hi,
After a hiatus in 2021, the upcoming FOSDEM will have a graphics DevRoom again. This time round on a sunday, the 6th of February 2022.
As usual, the focus of this DevRoom is: * Graphics drivers: from display to media to 3d drivers, both in kernel or userspace. Be it part of DRM, KMS, V4L, (direct)FB, Xorg, Mesa... * Input drivers: kernel and userspace. * Windowing systems: X, Wayland, Mir, directFB, ... * Low level toolkit stuff * Low level machine learning. * Colour management. * ...
FOSDEM '22 is sadly a virtual event again. While a virtual FOSDEM lacks all the wonderful madness of a real life FOSDEM, it does have the advantage of not having to deal with travel and accomodation, the physics of humans trundling around a big university campus, or a booklet.
Talks: ------
Time slots will be the usual 25/50 minute talk length, you are free to fill this time up as you see fit, but you might want to reserve 5 minutes for Q&A. I expect there to be 8h available for scheduling.
Since there are no travel accomodations to deal with, and there are no people who physically need to get from one end of the ULB campus to the other, and there are no 5000+ booklets to be printed, there is no first come, first serve requirement this year round. But the other side of that coin is that talks can be hard dropped from the devroom managers' side until very late in the process if anything is not in order.
Hard talk submission deadline: 30th of december, 23:59UTC.
Further info on when a talk video should be finished to fit in the FOSDEM infrastructure will follow, but expect somewhere between january 16th and 23rd, 3-2 weeks before the event. Again, more details will follow.
Talk submission and review panel: Arkadiusz Hiler (ivyl) Luc Verhaegen (libv) Martin Ruokala (mupuf)
Successful submitters will receive an email with further information on the 31st, as it's not as if I will have anything better to do given that mini-me will have been stabbed only once by then ;)
Pentabarf: ----------
Since FOSDEM has had to flash migrate to virtual last year, no further work was sadly done to replace or fix pentabarf, a tool originally made to create the fancy FOSDEM booklet, so its pent-up-clunkiness has to be used again, especially since it actually works :)

Here are the basic requirements before we consider a talk worth scheduling:
On your personal page: * General: * First Name * Last Name * Nickname * Public Name * Image * Contact: * Contact email address * Biography: * Short Biography
On your event page: * On the General page: * Event title * Event subtitle. * Track: Graphics Devroom * Persons: * Add yourself as speaker. * Abstract: * Short abstract
Unlike IRL events with a booklet, you should be able to tweak this information pretty much until you are finished with your talk.
That's it, hope to see your submission in penta, and your talk at FOSDEM.
Luc Verhaegen.
