[FOSDEM] FOSDEM 2018 - Tool the Docs devroom - CFP

[Kristof Van Tomme]

We are super excited to announce the “Tool the Docs” devroom at FOSDEM
2018!

With it we want to focus on free and open source tools for writing,
managing, testing and rendering documentation. It will run on Sunday 4th
February for half a day.


*Why to present

FOSDEM is one of the largest gatherings of Free Software contributors in
the world and happens each year in Brussels (Belgium) at the ULB Campus
Solbosch. In 2018, it will be held on Saturday, February 3, and Sunday,
February 4.

We are inviting proposals for talks on the subjects above, plus any related
topics you think might fit into the devroom. We welcome proposals from
those working with tools for documentation as well as those creating and
maintaining them. This is a great opportunity to show new ideas and
developments to a technical audience from a wide range of free and open
source communities. Please do keep in mind that product pitches are not
allowed at FOSDEM.


*How to submit

We are accepting talks of 20-30 minutes, with time for questions afterward.
If you want less or more time, please let us know in your submission.

All submissions have to be made in the Pentabarf event planning tool:
https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM18.

While creating your proposal, please provide the title of your talk, a
short abstract (one or two paragraphs), some information about yourself
(name, bio, and photo, but remember that your profile might be already
stored in Pentabarf).
