The City of Music is set to play a different tune next week as host of the X.Org Developer's Conference 2025. Vienna will welcome open source graphic developers from September 29 to October 1 at the Kuppelsaal of the historic TU Wien building. This event brings together all those working to improve graphics from Mesa to Wayland, and beyond. It is also free to attend and you can register your spot here.
As strong advocates of open source, we're delighted to be a Gold Sponsor to support the open graphics community. From updates on NVK and PanVK, to the new Rust GPU driver, Tyr, our graphics team has 6 talks to present!

For those who are less familiar with the Linux embedded graphics stack, our very own Erik Faye-Lund will be leading a Embedded Graphics Stack 101 workshop to break down the basics. He'll provide a hands-on session on manipulating the Mesa Vulkan driver and may have attendees compile Mesa locally if time permits.
If you plan on attending, please make sure to come say hello to the members of our graphics team, led by Daniel Stone (he'll be there too!)
Bis bald!
