Hello! Registration & Call for Proposals are now open for XDC 2021, which will take place on September 15-17, 2021. This year we will repeat as virtual event. https://indico.freedesktop.org/event/1/ As usual, the conference is free of charge and open to the general public. If you plan on attending, please make sure to register as early as possible! In order to register as attendee, you will therefore need to register via the XDC website. As XDC moved to a new Indico infrastructure, if you previously registered on the XDC website, you need to create a new account again. https://indico.freedesktop.org/event/1/registrations/1/ In addition to registration, the CfP is now open for talks, workshops and demos at XDC 2021. 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: https://indico.freedesktop.org/event/1/abstracts/ The deadline for submissions is Sunday, 4 July 2021. Last year we modified our Reimbursement Policy to accept speaker expenses for X.Org virtual events like XDC 2021. Check it out here: https://www.x.org/wiki/XorgFoundation/Policies/Reimbursement/ If you have any questions, please send me an email to radoslaw.szwichtenberg@intel.com, adding on CC the X.org board (board at foundation.x.org).
