Hello everyone!
We're incredibly excited to announce that Swift will be taking part in FOSDEM this year! Huge shout out to @svanimpe who made this a reality
FOSDEM is an awesome conference, or "conference-of-mini-conferences", which means that Swift has its own room and effectively a mini-track during the first day of the conference.
We're looking for speakers to fill in the Swift track!
Should we agree on a common length or leave it open? I can do mine in 15, 30, or 45 minutes Ββ depending on the amount of detail. For devroom schedules, we usually prefer shorter presentations to allow for a wider variety.
Just added the following proposal. If someone would like to add a proposal, note that the call for proposals runs until November 30th.
A new XML transformation tool based on Swift
Based on reflections on XML transformation tools such as XSLT or the lesser known but very good Metamorphosis programming language for XML (parts of which served as input for the development of XPath) and years of experience with complex XML transformations for technical documentation in various industries, a new solution based on the Swift programming language was developed to overcome the weaknesses of the existing ones. This solution is released as open source under a permissive license and is already successfully used for some time now at the German Institute for Standardisation (DIN). In this introduction, we talk about why we think a new solution was needed, how it compares and why Swift was chosen as the base language.
Which would be most interesting? All of them are open source except for the first which is built on frameworks I have open sourced, but has some proprietary code owing to hardware NDAs.
Your potential topics are about implementing network protocols or protocols of embedding systems, why not make a general overview about your experiences in this space regarding Swift, is Swift βgoodβ at implementing such protocols and why?
EDIT: The asynchronous aspects of IORingSwift seems especially interesting.
All those are great topics, I suggest maybe pick the two you're most excited about and have the best content on and submit them.
We'd probably be most interested in topics 1, 2 and 3. io_uring would perhaps be nice because I think we're going to see a bunch of embedded talks already, so a more server / io focused one may be nice! But we'll have to see what proposals we get and discuss in the program committee.
Submitted, irrespective of acceptance I'm going to try and attend anyway (although probably only can for the first day). Look forward to putting some faces to names.
Thanks everyone who submitted already, this is a friendly reminder that c4p will be closing on November 30th so don't miss your chance to submit your ideas on the last two days now!
Yeah, neither of my proposals were accepted either. :( I'd already booked my flights and accomodation so I will at least try and attend for some of it.
