Hi, also by some popular demand, we are excited to extend the deadline for submission to the 4th of December (23:59 CET)! Best, Hans-Joerg ---- Forwarded Message ---- Hi all! (For the latest info:https://github.com/modern-email/FOSDEM-24) Email is the workhorse of digital communication. It's one of the oldest decentralized messaging platforms, and we must keep implementations up to date with new standards/techniques/programming languages. The "**Modern Email**" developer room is new at FOSDEM and seeks speakers, volunteers, and participants! We want to get together as email developers/users, learn about each other's projects, have technical discussions, exchange implementation/operational experience, and share plans and visions for the future of email. The Devroom will be **held on Sunday, February 4** in the afternoon, with primarily talks on the schedule. The **submission deadline for talks is December 1st, 2023**. We will also informally meet with email developers on Saturday (that could be you; join us!) * **Speaker**: As a speaker, you're invited to present your work in the developer room. * **Volunteer**: As a volunteer, you would be helping us out during the sessions. * **Participant**: As a participant, whether introverted or extroverted, you are excellent to everyone and make the day! **Please distribute this CfP as widely as possible to interested parties!** ## Topics Some suggestions for talks: * Overview of the current state of email (as a keynote). * Your free/open source software project(s) related to email. From demo to details. * Current developments, upcoming standards, e.g. [JMAP](https://jmap.io), structured data, ... * Efforts to modernize our email ecosystem, e.g., through implementations in modern languages. * Integrating email with other software, e.g., through APIs. * Message/transport security/authenticity. * Experiences with deliverability, email operations, anti-spam, hosting, ... * Related technologies such as calendaring/PIM. * Visionary talks * Where should email be in 10 years? * Can we add end-to-end encryption (to the masses) through, e.g., MLS? * Can we provide simple solutions for on-prem (private) hosting? * ... ## Submission We ask for a short talk abstract (+ proposed duration) and a speaker biography (+ contact info). Any material that shows your affinity to the field is also appreciated, e.g., a collection of links to your work, talks, projects, blog posts, etc. Submissions **must** be made through Pretalx (https://pretalx.fosdem.org/fosdem-2024/cfp) no later than December 1st. The suggested duration for a talk is **25 minutes** (20 minutes presentation + 5 minutes Q&A). However, we*explicitly* invite you to propose the best duration for your talk. If the best way to present your project is a **5-minute lightning talk**, we'll happily arrange a lightning session! Depending on the proposals, we may contact you to adapt the time of the session to fit the devroom schedule. **Important**: Choose "**Modern Email**" in the track drop-down menu when submitting your proposal. Otherwise, your proposal might go unnoticed! Once the devroom schedule is finalized, we will contact you to help you prepare your talk. ## Recordings Talks and Q&A sessions at FOSDEM will be recorded. The recordings will be published under the same license as all FOSDEM content (CC-BY). By agreeing to present at FOSDEM, you automatically give permission to be recorded. The organizers will agree to make exceptions only for exceptional and well-reasoned cases. ## Important dates * December 4st, 2023: Deadline for submission of proposals * December 15th, 2023: Announcement of final schedule * February 3rd, 2024: FOSDEM Day 1 * February 4th, 2024: FOSDEM Day 2 - "Modern Email" DevRoom day! ## Contact For the latest details, see:https://github.com/modern-email/FOSDEM-24 Join the matrix room:https://matrix.to/#/#modern-email-fosdem-24-cfp:matrix.org Contact the organizers: * Benoit Tellier,btellier@linagora.com * Damian Poddebniak,poddebniak@mailbox.org * Hans-Jörg Happel,happel@audriga.com * Mechiel Lukkien,mechiel@ueber.net We are looking forward to a great day at FOSDEM with you! _______________________________________________ devroom-managers mailing list devroom-managers@lists.fosdem.org https://lists.fosdem.org/listinfo/devroom-managers
