Hi everyone, one of the biggest FOSS events is slowly approaching. FOSDEM 2019 will take place in Brussels, Belgium on February 2 and 3.
KDE will have a booth at the event (yay!), but we could also represent the community by giving talks about our projects in different Developer Rooms. If you're interested in giving a talk about a KDE-related topic, that's fantastic! Here are some suggestions for where you could submit your talk proposals: Open Source Design Devroom Details: https://opensourcedesign.net/events/2019/02/02/opensourcedesign-fosdem-2019 Deadline: December 1, 2018 What you could talk about: our Usability goal and the UX/UI improvements made as part of the goal; our HIG and the shiny new website ( https://hig.kde.org/)... Distributions Devroom Details: https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2018q4/002786.html Deadline: December 2, 2018 What you could talk about: KDE neon-related topics; collaboration with different distributions and their communities; building, testing, and packaging our software; release process improvements... Graphics DevRoom Details: https://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2018q4/002806.html Deadline: no hard deadlines, but December 13 is the last day before finalizing the schedule What you could talk about: Wayland; anything related to windowing systems, graphics drivers and how to handle them... Security Devroom Details: https://github.com/security-devroom/fosdem-2019 Deadline: December 1, 2018 What you could talk about: security and usability; encryption; how KDE software protects users' privacy... ----- If you have ideas that don't really fit into any of these Developer Rooms, take a look at the full list of rooms and find a more suitable one: https://www.fosdem.org/2019/news/2018-10-14-accepted-developer-rooms/ Do you need help with formulating your idea, or want someone to proofread and prettify your proposal?
