We are happy to announce that we have officially opened the call for workshops, BoFs and lightning talks.
We highly encourage everyone to submit a session. These sessions are a great way to share your thoughts with others, discuss various topics, receive feedback and help specific projects move forward.
Bofs and Workshops can be either 1 (one) or 2 (two) hours and lightning talks are 10 minutes.
Each session is self-organized and it is up to the hosts and participants to decide if the session is to be loosely oriented around a set of topics, or have a well-defined agenda. Lightning talks will be scheduled by the organizing team.
All requests are due by June 6th, late requests will not be scheduled.
