09:22 <eric_engestrom> lina: are you planning on submitting a fosdem talk about developing your kernel driver in rust? (kernel devroom or rust devroom, but the former is probably better to reach people who weren't already thinking about doing that)

09:24 <eric_engestrom> (https://uapi-group.org/docs/conferences/2023-02-05_fosdem-kernel-devroom/ for the kernel cfp)

09:27 <_jannau_> eric_engestrom: karolherbst was talking about a mesa rust talk with lina and jekstrand

09:30 <daniels> huh, is FOSDEM hybrid these days?

09:37 <eric_engestrom> daniels: if you mean "can I present remotely" then I believe so, yes

09:39 <eric_engestrom> _jannau_: that would definitely be interesting too, but I feel like the kernel is where people need more convincing, and a huge success story like lina's would help a lot

09:40 <eric_engestrom> on mesa's side I feel like the battle has already been won and it's "just" a matter of more people learning more rust and writing more rust

09:43 <eric_engestrom> daniels: https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM23/

09:43 <eric_engestrom> > It will also be possible to participate remotely. [...] When submitting a proposal you must indicate whether you are offering to speak only in-person or only to produce a pre-recording or whether you would do either of the two.

09:43 <eric_engestrom> > If you will not be present on the campus in Brussels for the whole event or wish to participate remotely, please also fill out the Availability tab (under Person) to indicate the hours during which your presentation can be scheduled taking into account your local time zone.

10:20 <karolherbst> _jannau_: ahh yeah.. bad news about that, it will have to be a pre recorded virtual one or whatever that means, but yeah, still tbd if it actually happens. But I think the organizers seem to be interested, it just won't be a "live" one

10:20 <karolherbst> eric_engestrom: ^^

10:21 <karolherbst> anyway, the talk I've submitted was more about rust specifically, so I submitted it to the rust one

10:22 <karolherbst> _anyway_ there are some troubles and we work on resolving those. And maybe in 2024 we can actually have a live talk with lina instead of just a prerecorded one 🙃
