XDC2016 Program

Topics

As usual, we are open to talks across the layers of the graphics stack, from the kernel to desktop environments, and about how we make things better for the developers who build them. if you're not sure if something might fit, mail or add it anyway, and find out if there's room in the schedule.

If you don't want to follow the formal talk submission with the CFP you can also just list your talk below. Some proposals are marked as "formally accepted", this means they got submitted to the board of directors before the deadline and got accepted by the election committee.

Usually, all the proposals we get receive a slot during the conference, but this is not guaranteed. Selection will be done by the program director based on content and submission date.

Post-conference social event (Sat)

Register here: Link

Meeting point is at 10am, at Kauppatori's public ferry.

We will visit Suomenlinna, a fortified island, go back to Helsinki to eat and then go for a sauna/swimming session (take your swimming trunks if you have them ;))! After this, we will just come up with whatever people want to do!

I will try to keep my IRC client connected on my phone (mupuf-jolla, on freenode).

Lightning Talks

Rules: You have 5 minutes and we cut your mic, slides as PDF must be submitted 30 minutes before to Martin. The idea is to report out on anything discussed or agreed on in the hallway track. Please list yourselfs below:
