Neglected to include the link references at the end of this email. The one that was sent to d-d-a and debconf-announce had them. You all know these links anyways :) See below for the link references. * Debconf10 Talks Team <talks@debconf.org> [2010-03-14 15:44-0400]: > > Calling all potential contributors to Debconf 10! > > The Debconf team is excited to announce that we are now accepting > proposals for contributions to this year's Debian conference! We > invite you to submit proposals for how you would contribute until the > deadline: May 1st, 2010, 23h59 UTC. > > There are many ways you can contribute, you could present a technical > paper, host a panel discussion, put on a tutorial, do a performance, > an art installation, a debate, host a meeting (BoFS, or Birds of a > Feather Session), or other possibilities that you devise. This year we > are also accepting proposals for tracks—a thematic grouping around a > particular subject, and people to coordinate those tracks. If you are > looking for ideas of things that you could contribute, or have ideas > for things that you would like to see happen at Debconf, have a look > at the Contribution Brainstorm[0] page. > > DebConf talks will be broadcast live on the Internet where possible, > unless otherwise requested. Videos of the talks will be published on > the web along with the presentation slides and papers. > > == Step 1. Submit Proposal == > > Proposals should provide an overview of your proposed contribution, > similar to an abstract, and be no more than 600 words. Since > contributions can cover a range of issues, please describe what your > proposal covers, be it political (Free Software, law, advocacy, > access, etc.), technical (d-i, OpenPGP, etc.), social (Debian > structures and groups). It's okay to hit all three of these. Your > proposal should also include some information on why you're qualified > to present, or coordinate this topic. For example, you can include > links to posts you have made to Debian mailing lists or other material > that indicates your qualifications. Proposals and their abstracts will > be accepted until May 1st, 2010, 23h59 UTC. > > > To submit your proposal, go to Penta[1] and register as an > attendee. Once you are registered, there is a "Submit a proposal" > link. You will see your proposal on the site. You can choose between > different presentation types. If you are unsure what type you should > use, please read our glossary of definitions[2]. If it's not there for > some reason, or you have questions, please contact us immediately at > mailto:talks@debconf.org. > > == Step 2. Committee Review == > > The review committee for this year will make its decision by May 1st, > 2010. All correspondence will be done by email. > > == Step 3. Paper Submission == > > Like last year, we are asking for papers to be submitted along with > the presentations. A full paper is optional, however we strongly > encourage you to submit one if possible as we intend to provide > written information along with transcripts of the sessions for later > viewing. Having written papers in advance will allow us to get > translations done to help non-native-English speakers feel more > comfortable with the topics presented. Papers are due by July 1st, > 2010, and should cover the topic in reasonable depth (3 pages A4 text, > plus pictures and diagrams). We will use LaTeX to typeset the > proceedings. Please submit your paper formatted in LaTeX. Should you > be unfamiliar with LaTeX earlier submission in plain text is also > fine. > > == Step 4. Live Presentation == > > Longer presentations may have a break in the middle and should include > workshop items that directly involve the participants. If using slides > or any other presentation, please consider that your audience will > consist of people who use free software, and your choice of > application to prepare and display the slides should reflect this if > at all possible. > > == Fine Print Publication Rights == > > Debconf requires non-exclusive publication rights to papers, > presentations, and any additional handouts or audio/visual materials > used in conjunction with the presentation. The authors have the > freedom to pick a DFSG-free license for the papers themselves and > retain all copyrights. The presentations will be recorded, and may be > broadcast over the Internet. Any copies of the presentation will be > made available > > == Failure to Submit == > > In the event that a deadline is missed we reserve the right to revoke > any offer to present. > > == About Debconf == > > The annual Debconf conference is a technical and social forum for > Debian developers, sponsors, affiliates, and friends. It allows > various groups within Debian a chance to come together, network, and > share their work. > > Until we see you in the big city, > Debconf Talks Team > 0. http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf10/Contribution_Brainstorm 1. http://debconf10.debconf.org/register.xhtml 2. http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf10/TalkGlossary
