Abstract Title (75 Character Max)
If your talk is selected, the abstract title you choose will be the title shown in the conference schedule, often what attendees use as a starting point to determine if they will be interested in the talk. Choose your title carefully - make sure that it accurately describes what your talk will cover. Be sure your title complies with the The Linux Foundation's Inclusive Language Initiative.
Please use title case when inputting your title here.
Provide an abstract that briefly summarizes your proposal. Provide as much information as possible about what the content will include and what the presentation will cover. Do not be vague. Be sure your abstract complies with the Linux Foundation's Inclusive Language Initiative.
This is the description that will be posted on the website schedule if your talk is selected, so be sure to spell check, use complete sentences (and not just bullet points), and write in the third person (use your name instead of “I”).
Remember that this description is what will make an attendee decide whether your session would be a good fit for them. Be sure to provide enough information to help attendees make the right choice. Be clear and concise. This description is also one of two primary factors the Program Committee will use to measure the strength and relevance of the presentation, making your abstract strong is essential.
The presentation selection process is very competitive, with many proposals rejected. A well-written, thoughtful, and enticing abstract will greatly increase the possibility of the proposal being accepted.
Describe who the audience is and what you expect them to gain from your presentation.
This is your chance to elaborate, emphasize why your presentation has to be shown and why attendees should care. Tell us how the content of your presentation will help better the ecosystem or anything you wish to share with the co-chairs and program committee. We realize that this can be a difficult question to answer, but as with the abstract, the relevance of your presentation is just as important as the content and that second determining factor in acceptance.
Please list out all open source projects that you will be discussing in your presentation and include any relevant links for these projects.
The Program Committee reviews many proposals, and having extra resources helps to gauge the speaker's expertise and ability to deliver a talk effectively.
Please share a video or audio recording of a previous talk you’ve given. If you don't have a previous talk recording to submit, simply create a quick YouTube video of yourself speaking for a couple of minutes.
