For those reluctant to more modern communication media, here is the
call for presentation for the RocqPL (continuation of CoqPL) workshop
co-located with POPL.  Do not hesitate to advertise to collegues. 

The deadline for 1,2 pages extended abstracts is Friday, October 24,

Workshop Overview
-----------------

The series of RocqPL (formerly CoqPL[^1]) workshops provide an
opportunity for programming languages researchers and practitioners
with an interest in Rocq to meet and interact with one another and
members from the core Rocq development team. At the meeting, we will
discuss upcoming new features, see talks and demonstrations of exciting
current projects, solicit feedback for potential future changes to Rocq
itself, and generally work to strengthen the vibrant community around
our favorite proof assistant.

[^1] The Coq theorem prover officially changed its name to the Rocq
theorem prover in March 2025; we have updated the name of the workshop
from CoqPL to RocqPL to reflect this change.

Topics in scope include:

- Formalizations of PL research in Rocq
- General purpose libraries and tactic language extensions
- Domain-specific libraries for programming language formalization and
verification
- IDEs, profilers, tracers, debuggers, and testing tools
- Reports on ongoing proof efforts conducted via (or in the context of)
the Rocq proof assistant
- Experience reports from Rocq usage in educational or industrial
contexts

Workshop Format
---------------

The workshop format will be driven by you, members of the community. We
will solicit abstracts for talks and proposals for demonstrations and
flesh out format details based on responses. We expect the final
program to include experiment reports, panel discussions, and invited
talks (details TBA). Talks will be selected according to relevance to
the workshop, based on the submission of an extended abstract.

To foster open discussion of cutting edge research which can later be
published in full conference proceedings, we will not publish papers
from the workshop. However, presentations may be recorded and the
videos may be made publicly available.

Submission Details
