FOSDEM is one of the largest gatherings of Free Software contributors in
the world and happens each February in Brussels (Belgium). One of the
tracks will be the CrossDesktop DevRoom, which will host Desktop-related
talks.

We are now inviting proposals for talks about Free/Libre/Open-source
Software on the topics of Desktop development, Desktop applications and
interoperativity amongst Desktop Environments. This is a unique opportunity
to show novel ideas and developments to a wide technical audience.

Topics accepted include, but are not limited to: Enlightenment, Gnome, KDE,
Unity, XFCE, Windows, Mac OS X, general desktop matters, applications that
enhance desktops and web (when related to desktop).

Talks can be very specific, such as developing mobile applications with Qt
Quick; or as general as predictions for the fusion of Desktop and web in 5
years time. Topics that are of interest to the users and developers of all
desktop environments are especially welcome. The FOSDEM 2012 schedule might
give you some inspiration:
