Hi folks,
We are excited to welcome you in person to the 2022 X.Org Developers
Conference, held in conjunction with WineConf and FOSS XR conference.
The conference will start officially on Tuesday morning, October 4th.
The program is here:
https://indico.freedesktop.org/event/2/timetable/#all.detailed
The official events start at 8:30 am, but we will have coffee and
pastries available from 7:30 on Tuesday and 8 on Wednesday and Thursday.
We expect everyone attending to be vaccinated and to be respectful of
people that are trying to avoid catching COVID. Masks are mandatory,
except when presenting or eating.
A small number of us will gather informally at Brit’s Pub, starting at
around 4:00 pm on Monday, October 3rd. We’ll try to have a table with
some sort of a sign, and folks can connect, have a drink, and then
perhaps group up to explore alternate food. Note that if the weather is
nice, we may be up on the roof, so explore far to find us.
We will be on the Minneapolis campus of St. Thomas, which is a mildly
confusing campus. We have given instructions and a picture to guide you
here:

We are working on the remote experience, and expect to have streaming of
all events available. The above page will have those details just as
soon as they are finalized.
We have a page of instructions for folks that will be presenting:

We are also excited to announce the happy hour taking place on
Wednesday, from 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm. The hope is that all three
projects can mingle and socialize and enjoy the return of in person
meetings.
Also, this year we plan to adopt the Wine strategy of using a deliberate
Matrix chat room just for the conference. Matrix has a variety of apps,
and Element, the default one is easy to configure on many devices,
including mobile phones. The link to that channel is here:
https://matrix.to/#/#xdc-wineconf-fossxr-2022:matrix.org
We find the chat channel a good place to learn what restaurants and bars
are chosen, and just a good way to track the social aspects of the
conference.
We look forward to seeing you next week!
Cheers,
Jeremy
