 Why does it fit FOSDEM

+# Call for Papers<a name="cfp" />
+
+This is a new devroom dedicated to Libre/Open VLSI, aka "Nanoscale 3D
+Printing".  
+
+### What is FOSDEM?
+
+~~Stolen~~/Borrowed from the website:
+
+_**FOSDEM is a free event for software developers to meet, share ideas and collaborate.**
+Every year, thousands of developers of free and open source software from all over the world gather at the event in Brussels. 
+... 
+FOSDEM 2022 will take place on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 February 2022. It will be an online event._
+
+### Important stuff:
+- FOSDEM is free to attend. There is no registration.
+- [FOSDEM website](https://fosdem.org/)
+- [FOSDEM code of conduct](https://fosdem.org/2022/practical/conduct/)
+- [FOSDEM Schedule](https://fosdem.org/2022/schedule/)
+
+### Desirable topics:
+
+This devroom welcomes anything related to the topic of nanoscale
+3D printing - more commonly known as "VLSI ASIC design".  If you
+are making an ASIC, or designing one, or using FPGAs, or developing
+an FPGA Board, or developing tools and techniques that make VLSI ASIC
+design easier, we'd love to hear from you.  Here's a list of topics:
+
+- Open Hardware projects
+- VLSI ASIC Design and Manufacture
+  * Libre/Open DIY Foundries (nanoscale 3D printing)
+  * Libre/Open VLSI tools and toolflow
+  * Libre/Open VLSI Cell Libraries
+  * VLSI Simulation and Verification
+- VLSI Tools in use or in development
+  * Silicon-proven (QFlow, coriolis2, OpenLANE)
+  * Under development (LibreEDA, other)
+  * Advances in Algorithmics in Place and Route and Layout
+- FPGAs
+  * Libre/Open FPGA designs
+  * FPGA toolchains and Reverse-Engineering
+  * FPGA workflow
+- VLSI RTL and HDL
+  * Advanced and innovative alternative HDL tools
+  * Formal Correctness Proofs
+  * Testing methodologies
+  * Hardware Trust (and how to break it)
+- Circuit Design (EDA)
+  * Printed circuit board design tools
+  * Analog/Digital Circuit simulation
+- Software Engineering as applied to Hardware
+  * Continuous Integration for VLSI
+  * Automated tool development (RTL to GDS-II)
+  * Automated testing
+
+### Topic overlap
+
+There is quite a lot of overlap this year with:
+
+* [CAD devroom]( https://fosdem.org/2022/schedule/track/open_source_computer_aided_modeling_and_design/),
+* [Emulator devroom](https://fosdem.org/2022/schedule/track/emulator_development/)
+* [Retro room](https://fosdem.org/2022/schedule/track/retrocomputing/)
+
+It is entirely up to you as a speaker which devroom you choose: the
+main reason for a new VLSI devroom this year is because it is a rapidly
+expanding area formerly entirely NDA'd.
+
+### How to submit your proposal
+
+To submit a talk, please visit the [FOSDEM 2022 Pentabarf website](https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM22) (the mystery of whether pentabarf means barfing in 5 directions or in 5 colors has not been solved yet).

+
+### What should be in your submission
+
+- name
+- short bio
+- contact info
+- title (funny titles are ~~required~~/appreciated)
+- abstract (what you're going talk about)
+- duration
+
+### Important Dates
+
+- **December 28th: submission deadline**
+  - FAQ - is the submission deadline final?
+    - Technically speaking, you can submit talks till pentabarf
+      closes, which should be somewhere in January
+    - However, talks submitted before the 29th get a higher precedence
+- ASAP: announcement selected talks
+- January: speakers are contacted to upload pre-record sessions
+- February 6th: FOSDEM! (with live Q&A during recorded talks)
