= Call For Proposals =
'''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.
