+'''2013 X.Org Developers Conference (XDC 2013)'''<<BR>>

+'''23-25 September 2013'''<<BR>>

+'''Portland, Oregon USA'''

+

+The [[Events/XDC2013|2013 X.Org Developers Conference]] is the annual

+technical meeting for [[http://x.org|X Window System]] and

+[[http://freedesktop.org|Free Desktop]] developers. The

+attendees will gather to discuss outstanding technical

+issues related to X and to plan the direction of the X

+Window System and its software ecosystem. The event is free

+of charge and open to the general public.

+

+The XDC 2013 Technical Program Committee (TPC) is requesting

+proposals for papers and presentations at XDC 2013. While

+any serious proposal will be gratefully considered, topics of

+interest to [[http://x.org|X.org]] and [[http://freedesktop.org|FreeDesktop.org]] developers are encouraged.

+There are three particular types of proposal the TPC is seeking:

+

+     1. Technical talk abstracts: 250-1000 words describing a

+     presentation to be made at XDC 2013. This can be

+     anything: a work-in-progress talk, a proposal for

+     change, analysis of trends, etc.

+

+     2. Informal white papers: 1000+ words on something of interest or relevance to X.org developers, FreeDesktop.org

+     developers or the X community at large. These papers will

+     appear in the online conference proceedings of XDC 2013,

+     and are unrefereed (beyond basic checks for legitimacy and

+     relevance). Papers can be refereed if requested in advance.

+

+     3. Technical research papers: 2500+ words in a format

+     and style suitable for refereed technical publication.

+     Papers that are judged acceptable by the TPC and its

+     referees will be published in the printed conference

+     proceedings of XDC 2013, available on a print-on-demand

+     basis online.

+

+XDC 2013 technical presenters will be chosen from the

+authors of any of these submissions (as well as other

+presenters invited by the TPC).

+

+Normally, there is time for everyone who wants to present to

+do so, but one can never tell. As much as possible,

+presenters will be selected from those who submit before the

+deadline. We also may be able to offer financial assistance

+for travel for presenters who could not otherwise afford to

+attend and who submit before the deadline.  Please do submit

+your proposal in a timely fashion.
