Proposal Guidelines
Tips For Preparing a Successful Proposal
- Identify your target audience: There are a lot of smart people in the room so make sure your presentation will engage their interest.
- Stay "Commercial Free": This event is not a platform for a marketing presentation or sales pitch, submissions of this type will be rejected.
- What is the level of expertise required: is your presentation for beginners, core developers, IT professionals, CTOs?
- Keep it relevant: why would someone want to attend your presentation? Is this a critical project or are you providing insight into an existing problem and require community input?
- Watch the clock: you only have 45 minutes, so make sure your proposal has a very specific scope
- Not just technical knowledge: The Linux Foundation is looking for people who not only understand their topic but are able to present it in a captivating and interesting way. We are looking for the type of presenters who will engage people so that they close their laptops (or at least look up every once in a while) and listen.
If you are proposing a panel discussion, please ensure that you mention all of the participants (please include company name and job title). For technical tutorials, please keep in mind that your material needs to cover a 2hr time slot and should be focused on giving attendees the ability to walk away with skills and/or knowledge that they can use immediately.
