    * Collaborative and team-based hardware design techniques

Slots will be allocated for short (20 minutes) and long (40 minutes) talks. Speakers need to specify their preferred format. Both include time for questions and answers. Depending on the number of submissions, submitters may be asked to utilize an alternate time format.

The submission process
Please submit your proposals at
https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM20 before 20 November 2019.

If you already have a Pentabarf account (for example as a result of having submitted a proposal in the past), make sure you use it to log in and submit your proposal. Do not create a new account if you already have one.

Please include the following information with your submission:

  • Abstract
  • Preferred Session length
  • Speaker bio
  • Link to any hardware / code /slides for the talk

When you submit your proposal (creating an "Event" in Pentabarf), make sure you choose the "Open Source Computer Aided Design and Modeling" in the track drop-down menu. Otherwise your proposal may go unnoticed. Fill in at least a title and abstract for the proposed talk and a suggested duration. Keep in mind that much of the value in these meetings comes from the discussions, so please allot at least 20% of the talk time for questions and answers.

Important dates
- Call for papers available: 13 October 2019
- Call for participation closes: 20 November 2019
- Devroom schedule available: 15 December 2019
- Devroom day: Saturday 1 February 2020 (09:00 to 17:00)

Recordings
The talks will be recorded and live-streamed during FOSDEM20. The
recordings will be published under the same licence as all FOSDEM
content (CC-BY). Only presentations will be recorded, not informal
discussions and whatever happens during breaks between presentations.
By agreeing to present at FOSDEM, you give permission to be recorded.
Please contact us if you would like to request an exception to the
recording policy for your talk.

Mailing list
Feel free to subscribe to the [Open Source Computer Aided Design and
Modeling mailing list](https://lists.fosdem.org/listinfo/open-hardware-devroom)
to submit ideas, ask questions and generally discuss about the event.

FOSDEM 2019 Call for Participation

XIX FOSDEM Edition 
Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd February 2019 
ULB Campus Solbosch in Brussels.

We now invite proposals for main track presentations, developer rooms, stands and lightning talks. FOSDEM offers open source and free software developers a place to meet, share ideas and collaborate. Renowned for being highly developer oriented, the event brings together some 8000+ geeks from all over the world. We will record and stream all main tracks, devrooms and lightning talks live. The recordings will be published under the same license as all FOSDEM content (CC-BY). If, exceptionally, you believe there is a legitimate reason why your presentation should not be streamed or recorded, you must seek our agreement before submitting it.

Main Tracks
Previous editions have featured main tracks centered around security, operating system development, community building, and many other topics. Presentations are expected to be 50 minutes long (including audience questions) and should cater to a varied technical audience. The conference covers reasonable travel expenses agreed in advance and arranges accommodation for accepted main track speakers if needed.

Proposals for main track presentations should be submitted using Pentabarf: https://fosdem.org/submit. If you already created an account in the system for a previous edition, please reuse it rather than re- registering.

Submissions will be reviewed in two batches, beginning with those received by 13 October. The final deadline is 3 November.

Questions or remarks? Contact us at program@fosdem.org.

Key dates:
13 October: deadline for first batch of main track proposals
3 November: final deadline for main track proposals
1 November onwards: main track talks announced (in batches)

Developer Rooms
Developer rooms are assigned to self-organising groups to work together on open source and free software projects, to discuss topics relevant to a broader subset of the community, etc. Most content should take the form of presentations. Proposals involving collaboration across project or domain boundaries are strongly encouraged.

Developer room proposals should be submitted through the form at
https://fosdem.org/devroom which contains further information.

Questions or remarks? Contact us at devrooms@fosdem.org.

Key dates:
20 September: deadline for developer room proposals
30 September: accepted developer rooms announced
16 October (or earlier): developer rooms issue Calls for Participation
15 December (or earlier): developer rooms publish complete schedules

Stands
FOSDEM offers open source and free software projects the opportunity to display their work during the event. At its stand, a project can share information, demo software, sell merchandise, give away goodies, and so on, and personally interact with the visitors.

What we offer:
- one 180x80cm table, positioned in one of the buildings with developer
  rooms, for the entire duration of the conference. A second table is
  possible in a few cases, but the pressure on space means this is
  becoming increasingly rare and needs strong justification. Joint
  submissions that share a table between related projects will be
  favoured in the selection process.
- two chairs per table
- one power socket type C/E (if you require adapters or additional
  sockets, please bring them yourself)
- fast uplink shared wireless Internet access

To apply, please fill out the form at: https://fosdem.org/stands which
contains further information.

Questions or remarks? Contact us at stands@fosdem.org.

Key dates:
2 November: deadline for stand proposals
11 November: accepted stands announced

Lightning talks
Lighting talks are short — 15 minute long — talks on a wide variety of topics. Anyone who has something interesting to say about an open source or free software topic can apply. We particularly encourage topics that do not fit in any of the developer rooms.

Proposals for lightning talks should be submitted using Pentabarf: https://fosdem.org/submit. Please select "lightning Talks" in the "track" field. If you already created an account in the system for a previous edition, please reuse it rather than re-registering.

Questions or remarks? Contact us at lightningtalks@fosdem.org.

Key dates:
24 November: deadline for lightning talk proposals
15 December: accepted lightning talks announced

All deadlines are at 23.59 UTC.

Open Source License Compliance bei Embedded-Systemen

Open Source License Compliance bei Embedded-Systemen 
( Kompaktseminar, ESE Kongress 2016, in Sindelfingen )
Referent: Dr. Till Jaeger, JBB Rechtsanwälte
Zeit: 28.11.16 09:00-12:30


Abstract: When using Linux and other open source software (OSS), the license terms of the GPL and other open source licenses must be adhered to. As license violations lead directly to copyright infringements, appropriate compliance measures are necessary. The compact seminar presents the essential requirements for a compliance process based on the OpenChain Initiative. OpenChain aims at an international standard for suppliers using OSS in your products.

Outline:
  1. What is Open Source Software?
  2. How does the open source license model work?
  3. Legal consequences of violation of OSS license terms
  4. How is it ensured that the use of OSS is known and which licensing conditions are affected?
  5. The Copyleft (1): When must self-development be released again as OSS?
  6. Copyleft (2): Verification of license compatibility between different OSS licenses
  7. Process to comply with sales obligations (for example, source code offer, co-delivery license texts)
  8. Methods of quality control
