Friends of OpenJDK at FOSDEM 2023

We’re excited to announce that friends of OpenJDK (foojay.io), that is, developers who use OpenJDK on a day to day basis developing tools and technologies in languages such as Java and Kotlin, will be represented at FOSDEM 2023 again at the live Foojay DevRoom on Sunday, 5 February 2023!  

Here you can find the CFP (Call For Papers) for submitting your talks, giving you the opportunity to deliver a talk during the Foojay DevRoom.

The Foojay programs for previous years at FOSDEM are listed below:

How to submit

We welcome any talk proposals about OpenJDK-related tools and technologies.

We are looking for proposals for 25 minute talks (suggested 20 minute talk + 5 minute Q&A).

This is not a virtual event, everything and everyone will be live and in person.

We invite authors to submit original, high-quality work with sufficient background material to be clear to the community.

By submitting a talk you agree to be available the day of the event to participate in the live Q&A.

Please be aware of the fact that DevRoom talks at FOSDEM will be made available online afterwards. The recordings will be published under the same license as all FOSDEM content (CC-BY). By agreeing to present at FOSDEM, you automatically give permission to be recorded.

Submissions must include:

• Abstract
• Expected prior knowledge / intended audience
• Speaker bio
• A contact so we can reach out to you the day of the event
• Links to code / slides / material for the talk (optional)
• Links to previous talks by the speaker (optional)

Please submit through Pentabarf here:

https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM23

When submitting your talk in Pentabarf, make sure to select "Friends of OpenJDK devroom" as the Track, as shown below.

Create a Pentabarf account if, and only if, you don’t already have one from a previous year. Please double check if you have an account you can reuse!
