XDC 2021: Registration & Call for Proposals now open!

[Szwichtenberg, Radoslaw]

Hello!

Registration & Call for Proposals are now open for XDC 2021, which will
take place on September 15-17, 2021. This year we will repeat as
virtual event.

https://indico.freedesktop.org/event/1/

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. As XDC moved to a new Indico infrastructure, if
you previously registered on the XDC website, you need to create a new
account again.

https://indico.freedesktop.org/event/1/registrations/1/

In addition to registration, the CfP is now open for talks, workshops
and demos at XDC 2021. 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:

The deadline for submissions is Sunday, 4 July 2021.

Last year we modified our Reimbursement Policy to accept speaker
expenses for X.Org virtual events like XDC 2021. Check it out here:

If you have any questions, please send me an email to
radoslaw.szwichtenb...@intel.com,  
adding on CC the X.org board (board
at foundation.x.org).

And don't forget, you can follow us on Twitter for all the latest
updates and to stay connected:

Best,

Radek

the mentioned links for the moment.

Requests For Proposals for hosting XDC 2022 are now open

[Samuel Iglesias Gonsálvez]

Hello everyone!

The X.org board is soliciting proposals to host XDC in 2022. Since
XDC 2021 is being held in Europe this year (although virtually), we've
decided to host in North America. However, the board is open to other
locations, especially if there's an interesting co-location with
another conference.

Of course though, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic it's not yet
clear whether or not it will be possible to host XDC 2022 in person,
although is seems very likely. Because of this, we would like to
make it clear that sponsors should prepare for both the possibility
of an in person conference, and the possibility of a virtual
conference. We will work with organizers on coming up with a
deadline for deciding whether or not we'll be going virtual, likely
sometime around July 2022.

If you're considering hosting XDC, we've assembled a wiki page with
what's generally expected and needed:

https://www.x.org/wiki/Events/RFP/

When submitting your proposal, please make sure to include at least the
key information about the potential location in question, possible
dates along with estimated costs. Proposals can be submitted to board
at foundation.x.org until the deadline of *September 1st, 2021*. 

Additionally, an quirk early heads-up to the board if you're
considering hosting would be appreciated, in case we need to adjust the
schedule a bit. Also, earlier is better since there generally will be a
bit of Q&A with organizers.

And if you just have some questions about what organizing XDC entails,
please feel free to chat with previous organizers, or someone from the
board.

Thanks,

Sam
