*# **FOSDEM 2023 Distributions Devroom - Call for Participation*

We're excited to announce that the Distributions Devroom is returning to
FOSDEM 2023, in-person in Brussels for the full day on Sunday, February 5.
The call for proposals is now open.


*## About the Distributions Devroom*

The Distributions Devroom is run by and for the people who build, package,
and contribute to distributions of Linux and other software. Distributions
remain a critical part of modern IT infrastructure, whether running on bare
metal or in containers, from supercomputers to edge deployments. The
Distributions Devroom provides a forum to share best practices on the
entire distribution lifecycle, from building and integration to long-term
support and security fixes.


*## Call for Proposals*

We welcome submissions targeted at contributors interested in issues unique
to distributions, especially in the following topics:

* Growing, participating, and working with communities around distributions
* Automating building and testing to minimize human involvement
* Cross-distribution collaboration on common issues
* Distribution construction, installation, deployment, packaging, and
content management
* Balancing new code and active upstreams versus security updates and
minimization of breaking changes
* Delivering architecture-independent software
* Working with vendors and including them in the community
* The future of distributions and emerging trends
* Non-engineering topics inside of distribution communities (e.g.
documentation, marketing, internationalization, design, community
operations, etc.)
* Creating a secure supply chain by evaluating upstream components and
providing a secure source for downstreams


*## Important Dates*

* Submission Deadline: Dec 20th 2022
* Acceptance notifications: Dec 31th 2022
* Final schedule announcement: Jan 14th 2022
