Hi all!
(For the latest info: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://github.com/modern-email/FOSDEM-24">https://github.com/modern-email/FOSDEM-24</a>)
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](<a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://jmap.io">https://jmap.io</a>),
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
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://pretalx.fosdem.org/fosdem-2024/cfp">https://pretalx.fosdem.org/fosdem-2024/cfp</a>) no later than December 1st.
The suggested duration for a talk is **25 minutes** (20 minutes presentation +
5 minutes Q&A). However, we <b class="moz-txt-star"><span
class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>explicitly<span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b> 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.
