Hello all,<br>
<br>
One more year <a href="https://fosdem.org/2016/">FOSDEM</a> is
coming. Mozilla has been present since 2003, and next year we will
have a Mozilla Room again.<br>
<br>
<b>This is a call for all people interested in Mozilla to propose
your talks for FOSDEM.</b><br>
<br>
Like we did last year, our idea is to propose some topics that will
be aligned with Mozilla goals for 2016.<br>
<br>
We will have our devroom only one day (on Saturday), so please note
that we cannot assure that your talk will be selected due to agenda
constrains.<br>
<br>
If you want, you can propose a talk for the other dev-rooms in <a
href="https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM16">pentabarf</a>.<br>
<br>
<u><b><big>Topics</big></b></u><br>
<br>
The topics that we want to cover for this next edition are:<br>
<ul>
<li>Privacy/Advocacy</li>
<li>Games/VR</li>
<li>Hello/WebRTC</li>
<li>Firefox Desktop</li>
<li>Firefox for Android</li>
<li>Firefox for iOS</li>
<li>Developer Tools</li>
<li>Firefox OS</li>
<li>Open Web Services</li>
<li>Localization</li>
<li>Webcompat</li>
<li>Add-ons</li>
</ul>
<br>
Other talks are allowed as usual, but we will be focusing on these
topics.<br>
For budgeting reasons, we will be only available to sponsor
volunteers from Europe (and some surrounding countries) and that
will apply also for speakers, so please be aware of this when you
submit your proposal.<br>
<br>
If you feel that you are not able to talk in public, or too shy, you
can suggest topics/talks for the Mozilla devroom on the <a
href="https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/FOSDEM2016-Proposals">public
etherpad</a>. <br>
<u><b><big><br>
Important Information</big></b></u><br>
<br>
Duration of the talks: 30 minutes including Q&A<br>
<b>Deadline: December 4th.</b><br>
Acceptance notifications: December 18th.<br>
<br>
Presentations will be recorded and streamed, so sending your
proposal it will imply that you accept and give permission for this.
Note that recording will be published under the same license as all
FOSDEM content (cc-by), however, exceptions could be requested.<br>
<br>

probably have a pentabarf account. So we kindly suggest you to not
create a new one. If you forgot your password, please reset it. If

is your first time using pentabarf, go ahead and create an account.<br>
<br>
