We’re incredibly excited to announce that we’re hosting lightning talks at SeaGL this year!
Think of this space as a great opportunity to learn about fun topics, or even present your own talk.
It’s a great way to get comfortable with speaking to an audience or to explore the kernel of an idea that could become a full-length talk at SeaGL 2022!
The lightning talks will be a series of 5 minute talks which will be pre-recorded - meaning
that we can accommodate speakers from all over the world!
We’re looking for any community focused talks.
A few examples are:
- Tech examples: Event organization, coding, design, documentation, open source, etc.
- Non-tech examples: non-profit work, hobbies/programs (eg. community gardens), sports teams, theater, etc.
Our one request is that there are no promotions of any kind - meaning, please no video resumes, no company/product promos, etc.
We’re looking forward to hearing from you, our community. Please submit your talk ideas as soon as possible,
as we will be reviewing them on a rolling basis.
Hello SeaGL community,
Some of you might be getting multiple emails from us. We want to apologize for the unintended mailings. Some changes were made to past conference schedules as part of a general clean up. We were working on an archive page that was disconnected from OSEM, our conference software. Unfortunately, there were no notifications from OSEM that emails were being sent to the community.
We are currently working on a shim to stop any emails from going out until all updates are done. Thank you so much for your patience. You can reach out to us on our usual communication channels.
Need a little more time to get your proposal together for SeaGL 2021?
Good news!
We’ve extended the submission deadline to August 19.
This gives you two more weeks to submit a talk proposal about free software, security, tech culture, community, and more!
If you need some ideas, check out our suggested topic categories.
If you have questions about the Call for Proposals process or want feedback on your talk proposal, we have one more office hours session.
Join us in chat or on video at seagl.org/meet at 3:00 PM Pacific on Saturday, August 7.
If you can’t make the office hours, email your questions to cfp-help@seagl.org any time.
When you’re ready to submit, our CfP portal is ready for you!
One of the ways SeaGL supports first-time speakers is by holding CfP office hours.
If you have questions about the Call for Proposals process or want feedback on your talk proposal, you can join us in chat at seagl.org/meet or on video on:
- Sun Aug 1, 3pm PDT
- Tues Aug 3, 5:30pm PDT
- Sat Aug 7, 3pm PDT
We’d love to see you, whether you’re making your first conference proposal or you’re an experienced speaker!
Whether you need topic ideas or want help wrangling the central argument of your talk, we’re here to help.
We’ll also have some prepared topics for each session.
If you can’t make the office hours, email your questions to cfp-help@seagl.org any time.
And many of us are on the channel much of the time besides, so come say hi!
We’re in #SeaGL on Libera.Chat and #SeaGL:seattlematrix.org on Matrix.
The rooms are bridged, so join us on the network and client of your choice.
If you haven’t used IRC before, no sweat.
Join in the browser chat version of the channel, choose a nickname, and you’ll be in!
