Hello,
I have the pleasure to announce that the X.org Developer Conference 2016 will be held in Helsinki from September 21 to September 23. The venue is located at Haaga-Helia university[0], next to the Pasila station.
The official page for the event is http://www.x.org/wiki/Events/XDC2016 while the call for paper is at http://www.x.org/wiki/Other/Press/CFP2016/
As usual, we are open to talks across the layers of the graphics stack, from the kernel to desktop environments / graphical applications and about how to make things better for the developers who build them. If you're not sure if something might fit, mail me or add it to the ideas list found in the program page.
The conference is free of charge and opened to the general public. If you plan on coming, please add yourself to the attendees list. We'll use this list to make badges and plan for the catering, so if you are attending please add your name as early as possible.
I am looking forward to seeing you there, if you have any inquiries/questions, please send them to me (please also CC: board at foundation.x.org).
Martin Peres
