devopsdays Dallas - Propose

Call for proposals is TBD

There are three ways to propose a session:

A proposal for a talk/panel during the conference part : these are 30 minute slots that will have the full attention of all attendees, as everybody will be in that one room.
An Ignite talk that will be presented during the Ignite sessions. These are 5 minutes slots with slides changing every 15 seconds (20 slides total) which are also presented to all attendees in one room
Open Space session : even without a prepared presentation we welcome the discussion and interaction by having people propose a session on the fly during Open Space. Check the Open Space explanation for more information.

If you’re not planning to propose a talk, please consider asking for permission to comment and cast your vote on proposals submitted by others.

Our main criteria to make it to the top selection are:

original content: content not yet presented at other conferences, or a new angle to an existing problem
new presenters: people who are new to the space and have insightful stuff to say; we want to hear everybody’s voice
no vendor pitches: as much as we value vendors and sponsors, we just don’t think this is the right forum. You can demo at your table or during Open Space.

How to submit a proposal: Go to the following website and follow the instructions on that site.

If you run into any problems, please don’t hesitate to contact us by email at [[email protected] ].

Rules:

Be specific... we aren't mind readers (a description of about 20 lines is about right)
Detail is good... but not as important as explaining why your proposal would be interesting
Propose your own talk; don't have someone else do it for you.
Nominations welcome... if you know someone who has content/experience relevant to the DevOps conversation, please point us in their direction!
Multiple proposals welcome... just follow the other rules
