FOSDEM 24 - Emulator Development Room CFP
The Call for papers for the FOSDEM emulator development room is hereby open!
Once again, the upcoming FOSDEM 24 will take place at the Université libre de Bruxelles, Belgium.
What is FOSDEM?
Stolen/Borrowed from the website:
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 stuff:
- FOSDEM is free to attend. There is no registration.
- FOSDEM website
- FOSDEM code of conduct
- Emulator devroom schedule
Desirable topics
Really anything goes, but here are some ideas (for inspiration):
- Console emulator development
- Computer emulator development
- Hardware on hardware emulation
- OS emulation development
- Virtual Machine development
- Emulation history
- …
Topic overlap
Some topics might be suitable or overlap with other rooms (such as the Retro & Virtualization rooms). In such cases we might contact the speaker and point that out, but ultimately it is up to the speaker where the talk should land.
Desirable speakers
We honestly don’t care. Experienced speakers are very welcome, but hobbyists and/or first time speakers are equally welcome. As long as you have passion and/or knowledge you care to share.
