While the results of the poll may guide our decisions on what to feature, we need proposals to be submitted to have something to choose from!<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/owncloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/oCgroupPic2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/owncloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/oCgroupPic2-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"ownCloud Contributor Conference Group Picture\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-7374\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Submitting a session<\/h2>\n<p>We&#8217;re looking for two kinds of sessions, lightning talks and workshops.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>lightning talks are 3-10 minute talks about things every ownCloud contributor should know about<\/li>\n<li>workshops are in depth technical talks and workshops for those interested or working in a particular area<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are working on ownCloud, we want to hear from you! Ideally, all major areas of development, from Sharing to LDAP and from the Music app to the Updater, should be presented in a lightning talk so we all know what is going on in and around ownCloud. But also third party apps and ownCloud clients are interesting. Did you built an app for Android, iOS, Windows or another platform which connects to ownCloud? Did you develop an ownCloud app adding real cool functionality to our platform? Tell us about it! We want to hear what you did, how you did it and how we can help you.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re at home in PHP, Javascript, security, UI design, integrating the ownCloud API in apps or any other subject you think ownCloud developers might be interested in, consider submitting a lightning talk (if it can be presented quick and is relevant for everybody) or a workshop to teach your fellow coders new skills.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/conference.owncloud.org\/conference\/oCC2015\/proposal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/owncloud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/button.png\" alt=\"button\" width=\"281\" height=\"41\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8216\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After you are <a href=\"https:\/\/conference.owncloud.org\/conference\/oCC2015\/register\/new\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">registered<\/a> you can <a href=\"https:\/\/conference.owncloud.org\/conference\/oCC2015\/proposal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">submit a session proposal here<\/a>. If you&#8217;re unsure if your session is appropriate or interesting &#8211; just submit it! It is easier to skip over an existing proposal than to accept one we never received. If you&#8217;d rather be sure, just ping <em>jospoortvliet<\/em> on our <a href=\"irc:\/\/#owncloud-dev@freenode.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">development IRC channel<\/a> or discuss your idea with others there.<\/p>\n<p>You can also check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/owncloud.com\/events\/conference-program\/speaking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">speaking page on owncloud.org<\/a> with some tips and tricks for speakers. It should help you put slides together and give a great talk!<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll close the CfP period on Sunday, June 28 so we have time to finish the program and publish it.<\/p>\n<h2>Help us promote the conference!<\/h2>\n<p>We&#8217;re also looking for your help telling others to be at the event and join us in making ownCloud even more awesome! Talk about the event on twitter or other social media (hashtag <em>#owncloudconf<\/em>) and tell your favorite ownCloud app developer to submit a talk!<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to get some cool promotional materials including some of those ownCloud Contributor Conference posters to hang up at your local hack space or LUG, use <a href=\"https:\/\/owncloud.com\/wp-content\/themes\/owncloudorgnew\/assets\/files\/request_form.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this request form<\/a> to get us your address. In the \u2018event details\u2019 section, just note some details about where you want to hang up the posters and put down the fliers!
