+Title: DebConf14 - Call for talks, BoFs and events
+Date: 2014-06-08 22:15
+Tags: debconf14, cfp
+Slug: debconf14-cfp
+Author: Ana Guerrero Lopez
+Status: draft
+
+The Debian project is excited to announce that we are now accepting presentations,
+discussion sessions and tutorials for our [DebConf14][dc14-web] conference which
+will take place in **Portland State University, Oregon, USA** from 23 to 31 August.
+
+## Submitting an event
+To submit an event, first [register as an attendee][dc14-reg] for DebConf14 in
+the conference management system. If you have any doubts or have problems with
+the registration process please check the [Registration FAQ][dc14-reg-faq].
+
+After registering, go to [the event submission page][dc14-sub-event], or click
+on the *Create an event* option from the management system. Describe your
+submission in the web form. The most common event types are *Lecture* or
+*Open Discussion (BoF)*. Please include a short title (to make it easy to produce
+a compact schedule) and an engaging description of the event.
+
+
+## Tracks
+We will organize some talks into thematic tracks. If you have a proposal for a
+DebConf track, such as *"Debian ARM"*, *"Debian Infrastructure"*, or *"Community Outreach"*
+please contact [talks at debconf.org](mailto:talks at debconf.org).
+
+If you would like to be a track coordinator, please volunteer on the given mail address.
+
+
+## Format of the events
+A regular session will be 45 minutes long, including time for questions.
+There will be a 15 minute breaks between events.
+
+Submissions are not limited to traditional talks: you could propose a performance,
+art installation, debate, or anything else. If you have any specific requirements
+for your event, please send an email to [talks at debconf.org](mailto:talks at debconf.org) with the details of
+your requirements and be sure to mention your event title in the subject.
+
+## Deadline
+While we ask speakers to submit their events **before the deadline of 7 July 2014,
+23:59:59 UTC**, late submissions will continue to be accepted for scheduling until
+the end of DebConf. All attendees will have an opportunity to schedule ad-hoc
+events during DebConf itself if we have space for them. Very promising late
+submissions may be considered for inclusion in the main conference. Note that
+ad-hoc events have a much lower chance of video archiving, and streaming, so if
+you want these services it's better to get your submissions in early.
+
+DebConf official events will be broadcast live on the Internet when possible,
+and videos of the talks will be published on the web along with the presentation
+slides and papers.
+
+
+For private communication regarding your talk, or for more general ideas, 
+or questions about the event and talks, please [mail us](mailto:talks at debconf.org)
+
+
+We hope to you see you and share some good times with you this year in Portland during DebConf14!
