| [openhw] Bring your OpenHW story to Brussels |
Dear OpenHW community,
Have you been working on an open core, tackling a tricky verification challenge, or bringing open hardware into a product? I'd love to see you share that experience at Open Community Experience 2027 (OCX27).
The Call for Proposals is now open. Organised by the Eclipse Foundation, OCX27 takes place in Brussels from 13 to 15 April 2027, with two tracks particularly relevant to our community:
Software-defined systems & mobility: embedded and edge systems, operating systems close to the hardware, and hard real-time.
Digital autonomy & technological sovereignty: including the role of open RISC-V cores in reducing critical technology dependencies.
If you've verified an open core for industrial use, paired it with an open software stack, or put one into a product, you have a story worth sharing. What worked? What surprised you? What would you do differently next time?
The committee is looking for practical experience that other teams can learn from: a working implementation, a hard-earned lesson, or an approach that helped you solve a problem. If you've never given a conference talk before, you're very welcome to submit, too.
The early bird deadline is 9 November 2026.
Submit your proposal through the OCX27 Call for Proposals.
For questions about speaking, reach out to speakers@xxxxxxxxxxx.
I hope to see some familiar OpenHW faces—and hear some new voices—in Brussels.
Best regards,
Frédéric
