Call for Proposals

+ +

Apply now for the Flock 2023 Call for Proposals (CfP) at cfp.fedoraproject.org. The deadline to submit is by Tuesday, June 20th, 2023.

+

We invite you to submit proposals for talks (25/50 minutes), workshops (2 hours), or hackfests (half-day) on topics of importance to the contributor community.

+

Topic ideas include:

+
    +
  • Pitch an idea! Have the next Fedora Rings, or Fedora Editions plan, or rpm-ostree, or something entirely new? Have something that bugs you and a plan to fix it? Think we should grow our userbase in a particular area by doing something we are not? Pitch it!
  • +
  • Team planning for the next year. Mini-strategic-hackfests for various groups; for example, regional planning.
  • +
  • Focused hackfest for a team or topic.
  • +
  • Training & mentoring for existing contributors on new processes (i.e. packaging updates or Zanata updates).
  • +
  • Onboarding/Join meetings for contributors
  • +
  • Your idea here!
  • +
+

This year, Flock is using a new CfP system. If you have ever submitted a proposal for a DevConf event, it will feel familiar. You can submit to the Flock CfP with a FAS, Google, or GitHub account. See cfp.fedoraproject.org to submit to the Flock 2023 CfP.
