devopsdays Ohio - propose

Call for proposals opens Tuesday, Jul 28, 2015.

Call for proposals closes Friday, Sep 18, 2015.

Selected proposals will be announced on Saturday, Oct 1, 2016.

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.

Even if you don’t propose, please consider commenting 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.
