Workshop track
One of the goals of the conference is to facilitate the discussions among the community members. We are going to have a discussion room in the venue that can be used for workshops, hacking, discussions, etc. The room will have desks, power sockets and a beamer/projector.
Where: room 2.1a, second floor of the same building of the venue.
Description of the workshops can be found on the table or here.

Lightning Talks
5 minutes, summaries from formal workshop track discussions have priority, otherwise first come first serve (please list your talks here with name) until time is up.
Wednesday morning
Jakob Bornecrantz - OpenXR, OpenHMD and XR general in FLOSS.
Slides (Alternative source), Video
Talk about the work OpenXR inside of Collabora and the future of XR FLOSS.

Brian Starkey - Graphics buffer allocation
What's the plan? Do we need a generic GEM ioctl?
Zach Reizner - Exosphere, Chromium and crosvm
A demonstration of the Linux GUI applications running on Chromebooks. The guest OS is run inside of a virtual machine and a custom virtio device tunnels the Wayland protocol to a host side Wayland compositor with minimal copies using guest-mapped dmabufs.
