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 2012 Technical Program Committee (TPC) is requesting +proposals for papers and presentations at XDC 2012. While +any serious proposal will be gratefully considered, topics of +interest to X.org and 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 2012. 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 2012, + 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 2012, available on a print-on-demand + basis online. + +XDC 2012 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. + + +**Proposals due:** Wednesday 15 August 2012 17:00 UTC +*Accepted formats: PDF and ASCII text. +**Notification of acceptance:** Monday 3 September 2012 +**E-mail:** board at foundation.x.org -- cgit v1.2.3
