This means we expect collaboration from all the FOSDEM participants, and for everybody to behave respectfully towards all others, including those that are different or think differently from yourself. Please be helpful, considerate, friendly and respectful towards all other participants and respect the environment. We don't condone harassment or offensive behaviour at our conference. We consider it against our values as human beings. We're voicing our strong, unequivocal support of exemplary behaviour by all participants. If you have previously submitted a proposal for FOSDEM, you will most likely already have a Pentabarf account. If so, the easiest is to reuse it. If not, create a new account and then click on “Create Event” in the menu and use that form to submit your proposal. Make sure to select the “JavaScript devroom” as track, or we will not be able to consider it. Please make sure to include the following items: - Title and subtitle of your talk - Learning outcome(s) or key takeaways - 5 lines abstract of your presentation - Full description of your presentation - Relevant links to websites, blogs, documentation, and other resources - Email in your speaker profile We are open to any topic related to JavaScript but we are mostly interested in topics revolving around - Core language (ES5, ES6, ES7, closure, scope, etc) - Tooling (Babel, packing, code quality, etc) - SPWAs and frameworks (React, ReactNative, Vue, Angular, shadow DOM, etc) - New domain specific frameworks (machine learning, XR, IoT, etc) - Interaction with other languages (EMScriptem, WASM, etc) - Wildcard, surprise us! Please note that for this year unfortunately we do not offer any kind of funding for the speakers. Please note that all talks will be streamed live, recorded and made available through the FOSDEM archives. By sending in your proposal you agree to these terms. Note that recordings will be published under the same license as all other FOSDEM content (cc-by). Looking forward to reading your proposals and to make a great dev room together! Wanna get inspired?
