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 following schedule.

Submission deadline: Feb 16, 2016
Confirmation of paper acceptance: Feb 23, 2016

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!

Again, you can submit your proposal at: http://2016.gnome.asia/cfp/submission/

We're looking forward to seeing you there!
