May 29-31 | Nice, FranceThe Display Next Hackfest is an event where talented developers gather to explore the latest technologies and trends in the Linux Display Stack. The event has traditionally followed an unconference format where participants propose topics for presenting, roadmapping, discussing and examining together. It aims to unblock bottlenecks, design solutions, raise pitfalls and accommodate the needs of each layer of the display stack. This year's format: After several successful editions of discussions and planning, we would like to shift the focus towards implementation. Day 1 will be dedicated to presentations and discussions on key topics, while Days 2 and 3 will focus on actual hacking and pushing through the changes and implementations that should've been merged a long time ago. That said, attendees are welcome to continue discussions during the mornings of Days 2 and 3 as needed. We encourage participants to propose topics for discussions. Previous editions have covered HDR and color management, frame timing and variable refresh rate (VRR), atomic flips, backlight control, testing and CI, and more.
