Submissions are open through pretalx and close 1 December at 23:59 UTC. Four people are involved this year: Andrew Nesbitt, Wolf Vollprecht, Vlad Miricioiu, and Travis Hathaway from Anaconda. They want talks on dependency resolution, namespaces, signing, reproducibility, metadata standards, cross-ecosystem dependencies, and new supply chain attacks, with a preference for under-discussed topics over more AI-augmented security tooling. Talks default to 20 minutes, with 10-minute slots available on request. Selected speakers hear back 4 December, and the schedule publishes 7 December. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

Organizers are seeking talks from package manager and registry maintainers on dependency resolution, namespaces, signing, reproducibility, metadata standards, cross-ecosystem dependencies, and new supply chain attacks. They explicitly prefer under-discussed parts of package management over more AI-augmented security tooling submissions, and want speakers from communities underrepresented in free and open source software. _Maintainers shaping their conference pitch can track package management and supply chain discussions on daily.dev._ ### How long are talk slots at the FOSDEM Package Management devroom? Talks default to 20 minutes, but speakers who prefer a shorter format can request a 10-minute slot by noting it in the 'Submission Notes' field during submission. Submissions also require a list of related previous work and a short bio for each speaker, and submitting means agreeing to the FOSDEM Code of Conduct. _Anyone prepping a conference proposal can keep up with open source event logistics on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [I refuse to accept a censored Internet.
