A standard session will be scheduled as 45 mins (35 mins talk + 10 mins
Q&A). The session could be a technical talk, panel discussion, or BOF.
If you need more time or additional resources, feel free to get in
touch with the organising team.
For participants who would like to participate, but are not sure they'd
like to do a full talk proposal, we have shorter lighting talks. These
are a five minute presentation to demonstrate your work or promote an
interesting topic. These talks will be grouped together in a single
session.
Please provide a short abstract of your proposal (under 150 words).
Include your name, biographical information, a photo suitable for the
web, a title, and a description of your presentation. The reviewing
team will evaluate the entries based on the submitted abstracts and
available time in the schedule. You will be contacted before February
21st, 2016 on whether your submission has been accepted or not.
All interested contributors are highly encouraged to send in their
talks. Please help us to spread the invitation to other potential
participants. Even you do not plan to be a speaker, please consider
joining GNOME.Asia 2016. This is going to be a great event!
