[CFP] RISC-V Devroom at FOSDEM 2027

[CFP] RISC-V Devroom at FOSDEM 2027

[Kashyap Chamarthy]

Hello!

We are pleased to announce[1] the Call for Participation (CFP) for the
RISC-V devroom at FOSDEM 2027.  

FOSDEM 2027 (https://fosdem.org/2027/) will take place on the 30th and
31st January, 2027 in Brussels, Belgium.

The RISC-V devroom is on January 31st (Sunday afternoon).

Important dates
---------------

- 01 December   2026: Talk submission deadline
- 15 December   2026: Final schedule announcement
- 31 January    2027: RISC-V devroom

About the RISC-V devroom
------------------------

The RISC-V devroom aims to bring software & firmware developers,
toolchain maintainers, and hardware designers to discuss upstreaming
efforts and hard technical problems that can't be solved over email.
This devroom is a collaborative effort, and is organized by folks
actively working in the RISC-V ecosystem.

Suggested topics
----------------

Any RISC-V-related topics that fit the spirit of free and open source
software (FOSS) are welcome.  Some topics to consider:

  - RISC-V hardware (e.g. cores, SoCs, accelerators)
  - Operating system porting, kernels, and hypervisors
  - Toolchains: compilers, linkers, and debuggers
  - Firmware and boot (e.g. OpenSBI, EDK2, U-Boot)
  - Emulation (e.g. QEMU, Spike)
  - ISA-level updates relevant to the Linux ecosystem and RVA23
    readiness
  - Performance and correctness tools (e.g. perf, Valgrind)
  - Language runtimes and their RISC-V enablement, maintenance, and
    performance (e.g. Go, OpenJDK, Node.js, Rust, Python)
  - Package ecosystems and build systems (e.g. riscv64 prebuilt packages
    and build support across npm, pip, Cargo, Maven, Go modules)
  - Applications and middleware (e.g. riscv64 porting, RVV-optimized
    code paths)

We are also interested in experience reports and technical work that
help make complete, production-relevant FOSS workloads available,
usable, and well-supported on RISC-V. 

Submit a talk
-------------

Please visit the FOSDEM 2027 Pretalx website:
https://pretalx.fosdem.org/fosdem-2027/cfp.  Your submission should
include:

- The title and subtitle of your talk (please be clear and descriptive)
- Select "RISC-V devroom" as the track
- A good abstract of a couple of paragraphs (be thoughtful with AI use)
- A short bio and contact information
- Relevant URLs

We suggest a talk length of 15-20 minutes plus 5 minutes of Q&A, since
the devroom runs for half a day this year.  With good planning, one can
pack quite a punch in 15 minutes.

Presentations will be recorded and streamed.  Sending your proposal
implies giving permission to have your presentation recorded and
distributed together with your slides under a Creative Commons CC-BY
license.
