FOSDEM: 2023 CFP for Kernel Devroom

[Daniel Borkmann]

Hey everyone,

We are pleased to announce the Call for Participation (CFP) for the FOSDEM 2023
Kernel Devroom.

FOSDEM 2023 will be over the weekend of the 4th and 5th of February in Brussels,
Belgium. FOSDEM is a free and non-commercial event organized by the community for
the community. The goal is to provide free and open source software developers and
communities a place to meet to:

* Get in touch with other developers and projects;
* Be informed about the latest developments in the free software world;
* Be informed about the latest developments in the open source world;
* Attend interesting talks and presentations on various topics by project leaders
  and committers;
* To promote the development and benefits of free software and open source solutions.
* Participation and attendance is totally free, though the organizers gratefully
  accept donations and sponsorship.

## Format

The Kernel Devroom will be running all day on Sunday, 5 February, starting at 9am
and finishing at 5pm.

We're looking for talk or demo proposals in one of the following 4 sizes:

  10 minutes (e.g., a short demo)
  20 minutes (e.g., a project update)
  30 minutes (e.g., introduction to a new technology or a deep dive on a complex feature)
  40 minutes (e.g., a deep dive on a complex feature)

In all cases, please allow for at least 5 minutes of questions (10 min preferred for
the 30 min slots). In general, shorter content will be more likely to get approved as
we want to cover a wide range of topics.

## Proposals

If you submit a proposal and it is accepted, you will be required to confirm that you accept the
FOSDEM CoC. If you have any questions about the CoC or wish to have one of the devroom organizers

do our best to assist you.
