The FOSDEM Call for Proposals for the Configuration Management devroom on January 31, 2015 is open! FOSDEM Submissions are due on December 1, 2014. If you submitted a talk to a previous FOSDEM, you should already have an account in Pentabarf, so make sure that you log in with your existing account. You should only need to create an account if you have not submitted a talk to FOSDEM in recent years. FOSDEM has a bunch of devrooms, so please make sure that you select the "Configuration Management" devroom in the "Track" dropdown when you submit your talk. Submissions filed under an incorrect devroom will not be noticed.
