-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 The DebConf Content team would like to call for proposals in the DebConf18 conference, which will take place in Hsinchu, Taiwan, from 29 July to 5 August 2018.
You can find this Call for Proposals, in its latest form, online: https://debconf18.debconf.org/cfp/ Please refer to this URL for updates on the present information. ## Suggesting a Speaker The content team has a (limited) number of spots for invited speakers and is open to suggestions. Priority will be given to speakers who are not regular DebConf attendees, and who are more likely to bring diverse viewpoints to the conference. Please keep in mind that some speakers may have very busy schedules and need to be booked far in advance. Therefore, we would like to start inviting speakers as soon as possible. In order to suggest a speaker, please email <cont...@debconf.org>; your email should provide the following information: - - The speaker's preferred name - - Their location (for travel budget considerations) - - Their affiliation (institution and/or project) - - The suggested talk topic - - Brief biography (50-100 words) as it relates to the suggested topic - - The topic's relevance to Debian and/or DebConf Please, note that the [Code of Conduct] applies to invited speakers and their talks, and coming to DebConf (incl. accepting an invitation) requires them to accept it. ## Submitting an Event You can now submit an [event proposal]. Events are not limited to traditional presentations or informal sessions (BoFs): we welcome submissions of tutorials, performances, art installations, debates, or any other format of event that you think would be of interest to the Debian community. Regular sessions may either be 20 or 45 minutes long (including time for questions), other kinds of sessions (workshops, demos, lightning talks, ...) could have different durations. Please choose the most suitable duration for your event and explain any special requests. You will need to create an account on the site, to submit a talk. We suggest that Debian account holders (including DDs and DMs) to use [Debian SSO] when creating an account. However, this isn’t required, as you can sign up with an e-mail address and password. [Debian SSO]: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianSingleSignOn [event proposal]: https://debconf18.debconf.org/talks/new/ ## Timeline If you depend on having your proposal accepted in order to attend the conference, please submit it in a timely fashion so that it can be considered (and potentially accepted) as soon as possible. All proposals must be submitted before Sunday 17 June 2018 to be evaluated for the official schedule. ## Topics and Tracks Though we invite proposals on any Debian or FLOSS related subject, we have some broad topics on which we encourage people to submit proposals, including but not limited to: - - Blends - - Cloud and containers - - Debian in Science - - Embedded - - Packaging, policy and infrastructure - - Security - - Social context - - Systems administration, automation and orchestration You are welcome to either suggest more tracks, or to become a coordinator for any of them; please refer to the [Content Tracks] wiki page for more information on that. [Content Tracks]: https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf18/ContentTracks ## Code of Conduct Our event is covered by a [Code of Conduct] designed to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. The code applies to all attendees, including speakers and the content of their presentations. Do not hesitate to contact us at <cont...@debconf.org> if you have any questions or are unsure about certain content you’d like to present. [Code of Conduct]: https://debconf.org/codeofconduct.shtml ## Video Coverage Providing video is one of the [conference goals], as it makes the content accessible to a wider audience. Unless speakers opt-out, scheduled talks may be streamed live over the Internet to promote remote participation, and recordings will be published later under the [DebConf license] (MIT/Expat), as well as presentation slides and papers whenever available. [conference goals]: https://debconf.org/goals.shtml [DebConf license]: https://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/LICENSE ## Closing note DebConf18 is still accepting sponsors; if you are interested, or think you know of others who would be willing to help, please get in touch! In case of any questions, or if you wanted to bounce some ideas off us first, please do not hesitate to reach out to the content team at <cont...@debconf.org>. We hope to see you in Hsinchu!
