EuroForth 2022
Please note:
After talking to participants we decided to make this the last virtual EuroForth conference.
Next year's EuroForth will be face to face with eating, drinking and laughing again.
Online, 16.-18. September 2022
The 38th EuroForth conference takes place in the Internet.
Please see the official call for papers for instructions on how to submit papers.

The conference will be preceded by the Forth standards meeting which starts on September, 14th.
Both, meeting and conference will be hosted online.
Programme
Hardware requirements
The following hardware is required:
- A headset or another setup which ensures no echoing is received from your end.
You cannot attend the conference with a built-in microphone. If you cannot get a headset and cause interference, you will be muted and will be limited to replying by text.
The following hardware is strongly recommended:
- A webcam which points at your face
- A lamp which illuminates your face.
If there is a wall behind your monitor consider bouncing light of it with a lamp, so we can see your lovely face. Alternatively shine light onto you from an angle.
Software requirements
TL;DR: get Firefox, sign up at the link you will be getting via registration email (opens 19th August 2021).
The following software is required:
- Fairly recent Firefox browser (please update when possible)
The following software is strongly recommended as a fallback option:
- Fairly recent Chromium based browser (please update when possible)
- Zoom Client
Like last year we will be using the web-based chat-application Mattermost at https://chat.forth-standard.org - no installation required, hosted by Forth Committee Members to help privacy concerns.
You will receive a signup link in via email after you registered on this site.
All communication is within this chat-application, we ask you to sign in within the Get together
timeframe.
For the video conferences themselfes we will be using BigBlueButton hosted by Gerald Wodni, as senfcall.de was dropping some connections from the US. Links to the conference rooms will be provided in chat-application Mattermost.
If this should fail we will fall back to Zoom. Consider installing their client beforehand.
Please visit our testing call which will be announced in chat, especially if you had issues last year.
