Hello! Registration & Call for Proposals are now open for XDC 2024, which will take place at the Concordia University Conference Centre in Montréal, Canada on October 9 to 11. New this year: XDC 2024 will feature two full days dedicated to talks followed by a day dedicated to workshops, meetings & hacking. All workshops and meetings will take place on the last day. https://xdc2024.x.org 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. https://indico.freedesktop.org/event/6/registrations/ In addition to registration, the CfP is now open for talks, workshops and demos at XDC 2024. 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/6/abstracts/ The deadline for submissions Monday, 12 August 2024. We are looking forward to seeing you in Montréal! If you have any questions, please send me an email (mfilion at collabora.com), adding on CC the X.org board (board at foundation.x.org). And don't forget, you can follow us on Mastodon for all the latest updates and to stay connected: https://floss.social/@XOrgDevConf Best, Mark
