About the devroom
=================

  The Binary Tools Devroom at FOSDEM 2023 is an informal, technical,
  event oriented to authors, users and enthusiasts of FLOSS
  programs that deal with binary data.

  This includes binary editors, libraries to encode and decode data,
  parser generators, binary data description languages and frameworks,
  binary formats and encodings, assemblers, debuggers, reverse
  engineering suites, and the like.

  The goal of the devroom is for developers to get in touch with each
  other and with users of their tools, have interesting and hopefully
  productive discussions, and finally what is most important: to have
  fun.

Suggested Topics
================

  Here is a non-exhaustive list of binary tools about which we would
  like to have activities:

   - GNU poke
   - fq
   - radare2
   - kaitai struct
   - binwalk
   - wireshark

   Both using (like a nice hack) and developing the tools are on-topic.
   Activities on increasing collaboration between the tools are
   particularly encouraged.

Proposals
=========

   Proposals should be made through the FOSDEM Pentabarf submission tool]. You
   do not need to create a new Pentabarf account if you already have one from a
   past year.
