eBPF at FOSDEM
--------------
FOSDEM is a free, community-organized event focusing on open source, and
aiming at gathering open source software developers and communities to
meet, learn, and share. It takes place annually in Brussels, Belgium.
After hosting a number of eBPF-related talks in various devrooms over
the years, FOSDEM 2025 welcomes a devroom dedicated to eBPF for the
first time! This devroom aims at gathering talks about various aspects
of eBPF, ideally on multiple platforms.
Topics of Interest
------------------
If you have something to present about eBPF, we would love for you to
consider submitting a proposal to the Devroom.
The projects or technologies discussed in the talks MUST be open-source.
Topics of interest for the Devroom include (but are not limited to):
- eBPF development: recent or proposed features (on Linux, on other
platforms, or even cross-platform), such as:
- eBPF program signing and supply chain security
- Profiling eBPF with eBPF
- eBPF-based process schedulers
- eBPF in storage devices
- eBPF verifier improvements or alternative implementations
- Memory management for eBPF
- Deep-dives on existing eBPF features
- Working with eBPF: best practices, common mistakes, debugging, etc.
- eBPF toolchain, for compiling, managing, debugging, packaging, and
deploying eBPF programs and related objects
- eBPF libraries, in C/C++, Go, Rust, or other languages
- eBPF in the real world, production use cases and their impact
- eBPF community efforts (documentation, standardization, cross-platform
initiatives)
The list is not exhaustive, don't hesitate to submit your proposal!
