DebConf16: Call for Proposals (Reminder and Extension) The DebConf Content team would like to remind you about the Call for Proposals for the DebConf16 conference [0], to be held in Cape Town, South Africa from 2 through 9 July 2016. [0]: <https://debconf16.debconf.org/> The CfP has been extended by two weeks. All proposals must be submitted before Sunday 15 May 2016 to be evaluated for the official schedule. Submitting an Event =================== Submit a talk [1] and describe your proposal. Please note, 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 beneficial to the Debian community. [1]: <https://debconf16.debconf.org/talks/new/> Please include a short title, suitable for a compact schedule, and an engaging description of the event. You should use the field "Notes" to provide us information such as additional speakers, scheduling restrictions, or any special requirements we should consider for your event. Regular sessions may either be 20 or 45 minutes long (including time for questions), other kinds of sessions (like workshops) could have different durations. Please choose the most suitable duration for your event and explain any special requests. 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: - Debian Packaging, Policy, and Infrastructure - Security, Safety, and Hacking - Debian System Administration, Automation and Orchestration - Containers and Cloud Computing with Debian - Debian Success Stories - Debian in the Social, Ethical, Legal, and Political Context - Blends, Subprojects, Derivatives, and Projects using Debian - Embedded Debian and Hardware-Level Systems Video Coverage ============== Providing video of sessions amplifies DebConf achievements and is one of the conference goals [2]. Unless speakers opt-out, official events will be streamed live over the Internet to promote remote participation. Recordings will be published later under the DebConf license [3], as well as presentation slides and papers whenever available.

DebConf16 is still accepting sponsors; if you are interested, or think you know of others who would be willing to help, please get in touch [5]! [4]: <http://www.hpe.com/engage/opensource> [5]: <https://debconf16.debconf.org/get-involved/> You are welcome to contact the Content Team with any concerns about your event, or with any ideas or questions about DebConf events in general. You can reach us at <content@debconf.org>. Registration Reminder ===================== We remind you that registration for DebConf is open. Please log into the DebConf16 website and register from your profile page. [6] [6]: <https://debconf16.debconf.org/accounts/profile/> To request bursaries (sponsorship) for food, accommodation, or travel, you had to be registered by Sunday, 10 April 2016. Registration is still accepted in any of the basic, professional, and corporate categories. However, accommodation on the campus will no longer be guaranteed, and requests for bursaries for Debian contributors are no longer accepted. There are still diversity bursaries available. Even if you are not certain you will be able to attend, we recommend registering now. You can always cancel your registration, before the deadline. We do suggest that attendees begin making travel arrangements as soon as possible, of course. We hope to see you all in Cape Town! The DebConf 16 team
