Declarative and Minimalistic Computing devroom CfP

Declarative and Minimalistic Computing devroom CfP

[Manolis Ragkousis]

We are excited to announce the Call for Participation for the 
Declarative and Minimalistic Computing devroom at FOSDEM on February, 
2025! The submission deadline for talk proposals is 1st of December, 2024.

FOSDEM is one of the most important free software conferences and is
hosted annually at Université libre de Bruxelles in Brussels,
Belgium. This year FOSDEM will be a physical conference. Talks will be 
done in person.

We accept talks from languages that attempt to minimize use of hardware
and software while trying to make systems simpler, more robust and more
secure. If you are working on improving today's systems taking
declarative/minimalistic approaches feel free to submit a talk
proposal. Examples include the Scheme/Lisp family of programmings 
languages. In past editions, this devroom has received presentations 
from a varied number of language communities, including Forth, Guile, 
Lua, Nim, Racket, Raku and Tcl as well as several experimental projects 
that push minimalism in new directions.

Minimalism and declarative programming are two important topics for
this devroom. Minimalism matters. Minimalism allows for smaller
systems that take less resources and consume less energy. More
importantly, free and open source minimalism allows for secure systems
that are easy to understand. Declarative programming is a programming
paradigm that expresses the logic of a computation without describing
its control flow. Many languages that apply this style attempt to
minimize or eliminate side effects by describing what the program must
accomplish in terms of the problem domain, rather than describe how to
accomplish it as a sequence of the programming language primitives.

Finally, in this year's conference we encourage speakers to honor 
individuals in computing from a diversity perspective. Individuals who 
have inspired them and whose work is relevant to their presentations.

We want to invite you to submit a talk on declarative and minimalistic
computing that fits that description. We are especially happy to
receive talk submissions from members of groups underrepresented in
free software.

If you have something you’d like to share with your fellow developers,
please E-mail us! Reach out to
pjotr.public456@thebird.nl or manolis837@gmail.com if you run into any
trouble.

The deadline for submission is December 1st. Proposals must be submitted 
on FOSDEM's conference management system: <https://pretalx.fosdem.org/>. 
All submissions must go through pretalx: <https://fosdem.org/submit>

When submitting your talk make doubly sure to select "Declarative and
Minimalistic Computing devroom" as track (if you don't we won't find
it), and include the following information:

   * The title and subtitle of your talk
   * A short abstract of one paragraph
   * A longer description if you wish to do so
   * Links to related websites/blogs etc

Let's make this a fun day!

Thanks Manolis for getting this going! 

Guix days will be held before FOSDEM on 30+31 January 2025 at ICAB. 

https://icab.be/

So we have 4 days of unconditional fun!

FOSDEM is this amazing conference with 15 parallel tracks - there is
something for everyone! See last year:

https://archive.fosdem.org/2024/schedule/day/saturday/

It is our favorite conference with Guix days - and we keep coming
back. For Guix days do sign up - we have limited space. You can add
your name here after signing up:

https://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Guix/FOSDEM2025

If you want to give a Guix/Guile/Lisp talk - consider submitting to
our devroom below. There will also be opportunities at Guix days.
Don't feel shy. Even if you have never given a talk before, it is a
great place to try for a forgiving audience. Ask Manolis :)

Ping either of us if you have a private question. Looking forward to
meeting up with great friends again!

Pj.

[Pjotr Prins]

Daar all,

The submission system for talks is open. If you want to talk about
your software, project, minimalism etc. feel free to post it! In case
you have doubts about a proposal feel free to ping Manolis or me
directly.
