2016 CFP is now open!

Calling all speakers! Our 2016 Call for Participation is open!

We are a local Seattle conference dedicated to supporting newer local speakers! SeaGL welcomes speakers of various backgrounds and levels of experience – Even if you’ve never spoken at a technical conference. If you’re excited about GNU/Linux technologies, or free and open source software and communities, then we want to hear your ideas.

Submit your presentation now.

The CFP deadline is midnight PDT, August 1, 2016.

Our talk format is generally 50 minutes of speaking followed by 10 minutes of questions. Here are some topic ideas:

How to get involved in free and open source software

Dev/Ops

Career tips and strategies

Web development tools

Policy and licensing affecting free and open source software development

Hardware, Embedded Linux, or the Internet of Things

Scaling and optimizing GNU/Linux
