Hello,

FOSDEM is a free software event that offers open source communities a
place to meet, share ideas and collaborate. It is renowned for being
highly developer-oriented and brings together 8000+ participants from
all over the world. It is held in the city of Brussels (Belgium).

FOSDEM 2020 will take place during the weekend of February 1st-2nd
2020. More details about the event can be found at
http://www.fosdem.org.


CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

After success in the past two years, the Retrocomputing DevRoom will
be back in 2020, with talks about usage of older computing hardware
and software in modern times.

Presentation topics could include but are not limited to:
   - Emulation of old systems to run videogames, legacy software, etc
   - New software, hardware or related to be used with classic systems
   - Open source software emulation/simulation
   - Open hardware
   - Operating systems/executives for retrocomputers/retrosystems
   - Uses of retrocomputing today
   - Other retrosystems topics
   - Opportunities in retrocomputing

You are not limited to slide presentations, of course. Be creative.

However, FOSDEM is an open source conference, therefore we ask you to
stay clear of marketing presentations. We are not afraid of technical
stuff: devrooms are a place for development teams to meet, discuss,
hack and publicly present their project’s latest  improvements and
future directions.

If you will have special needs for your talk (e. g. because you will
need to plug some sort of a system, you need sound, etc), please note
that clearly in your proposal so that we can provide it.

You can use the Wikipedia definition of retrocomputing as a reference
definition to see if you talk qualifies, although it is not exclusive:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrocomputing

   -  30 November 2019: submission deadline for talk proposals

RECORDING OF TALKS

The FOSDEM organizers plan to have live streaming and recording fully
working, both for remote/later viewing of talks, and so that people
can watch streams in the hallways when rooms are full. This requires
speakers to consent to being recorded and streamed.

If you plan to be a speaker, please understand that by doing so you
implicitly give consent for your talk to be recorded and streamed. The
recordings will be published under the same license as all FOSDEM
content (CC-BY).

Hope to hear from you soon! And please forward this announcement.


CONTACT

The Retrocomputing DevRoom is managed by Pau Garcia Quiles and
François Revol (retro-devroom-manager at fosdem.org).
