FOSDEM '26 planning

We're starting to firm up our plans for FOSDEM next year. While we're planning to submit talks to the main track, there are some obvious nexus points with this year's dev rooms – including LLVM, mobile, embedded, security, and gaming – that could be great opportunities to submit Swift talks to as well.

Additionally, we'd like to gauge interest in holding an event for the Swift community to gather onsite. Let us know if you'd like to meet there and please reach out if you'd be interested in helping to represent the Swift community.

I'll be attending and I would be interested in giving a talk on Swift on Android. The FOSS on Mobile CfP is not yet available, but hopefully soon.

Is this the forum/thread to use for coordinating on proposal ideas?

Yeah if you're comfortable sharing publicly this thread would work for that -- otherwise DMs also work.

@karenchu, @svanimpe and myself are trying to figure out what we'd be able to do on other tracks and other activities. Happy to help polish up abstracts etc if you'd like some input.

CC @zamderax : I'd like to talk about Swift on Embedded - particularly Linux but I could also involve FreeRTOS if the talk's time permits that.

Definitely want to be there and help represent the Swift community!
