+Title: DebConf15: Call for Proposals
+Date: 2015-03-12 22:30
+Tags: debconf15, cfp
+Slug: debconf15-cfp
+Author: Ana Guerrero Lopez
+Status: draft
+
+The DebConf Content team is pleased to announce the Call for Proposals for the
+DebConf15 conference, to be held in **Heidelberg, Germany** from the 15th
+through the 22nd of August, 2015.
+
+## Submitting an Event
+In order to submit an event, you must be [registered as an attendee of DebConf15][dc15-reg].
+If you have any questions about the registration process, please check the
+related [information on the conference website][dc15-reginfo].
+
+Once registered, go to *"Propose an event"* 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.
+
+Please include a short title, suitable for a compact schedule, and an engaging
+description of the event. You should use the field *"Notes for Content Team"*
+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) and will be followed by a 10 or 15 minutes break, respectively.
+Other kinds of sessions (like workshops) could have different durations.
+Please make sure to choose the most suitable duration for your event and
+justify any special requests.
+
+## Timeline
+The first batch of accepted proposals will be announced in May. If you depend
+on having your proposal accepted in order to attend the conference, please
+submit it as soon as possible so that it can be considered during this first
+evaluation period.
+
+All proposals must be submitted before June 15th, 2015 to be evaluated for
+the official schedule.
+
+## Topics and Tracks
+Though we invite proposals on any Debian or FLOSS related subject, we will have
+some broad topics arranged as tracks for which we encourage people to submit
+proposals. The currently proposed list is:
+
+* 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
+
+If you have ideas for further tracks, or would like to volunteer as a track
+coordinator, please contact [content at debconf.org](mailto:content at debconf.org).
+In order for a track to take place during DebConf15, we must have received a
+sufficient amount of proposals on that specific theme. Track coordinators will
+play an important role in inviting people to submit events.
+
+## Video Coverage
+Providing video of sessions amplifies DebConf achievements and is one of the
+[conference goals][dc15-goals]. 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][dc15-video-license], as
+well as presentation slides and papers whenever available.
+
+## Contact and Thanks to Sponsors
+DebConf would not be possible without the generous support of all our sponsors,
+especially our platinum sponsor HP. DebConf15 is still accepting sponsors; if
+you are interested, please [get in touch][dc15-sponsoring]!
+
+You are welcome to contact the Content Team with any concerns about your event,
+or with any ideas or questions ambout DebConf events in general. You can reach
+us at [content at debconf.org](mailto:content at debconf.org).
+
+We hope to see you all in Heidelberg!
